I’m going to post this in several threads to try to capture as many responses. Does anyone feel a hard lump when sitting in the front seats? In the driver’s and front passenger seat, I find a hard lump right where my posterior rests on the seat. The pressure on my butt feels like I’m sitting...

I have an iPhone Pro Max and it is easy to see while driving. My only complaint is that when the phone goes to sleep, Face ID won‘t open the phone because of the distance and angle so one has to enter the passcode or pick up the phone to use Face ID.

We picked up our Plaid May 31 and drove to round trip to Denver from Chicago in July. The car had some minor exterior and interior issues (for which we scheduled a service in August). We had no issues with the car itself on our road trip. The only two problems we had were with random phantom...

Ugh so radar or no radar, we are subject to phantom braking for the foreseeable future.

Without a fob, what do you give a valet or at the car wash? As for autopilot, without radar, we have experienced in our Plaid sudden braking. We are on a road trip through South Dakota and on wide open roads, the car slams the brakes at overpasses and also randomly with no apparent trigger in...

Slightly off topic but I hope still relevant to this thread. Included accessories include the mobile charging connector and the towing kit, and I thought a tire repair kit was also included but it is not. What are you doing for tire repair especially for those of you in remote areas or going...

I agree about the swivel screen being underwhelming. It would be nice to have more than the 3 settings (left, middle, right) and actually allow manual adjustments. I’ve noticed when it in the left position facing the driver, I hear a rattling sound when on a bumpy road. It sounds like the...

Count me in the “Yoke looks totally cool but has limited function” camp. We’ve had a Plaid for two weeks and I agree that the yoke is superior on the highway but it’s crap when driving in the city. Trying to make tight turns on Chicago streets, alleys and parallel parking is overly complicated...

Hey @shoveler - did your scheduled delivery date just change? I scheduled to pick up tomorrow morning and received a text saying there was a delay in transit and delivery would be next Tuesday at the Grand Ave. SC.

March 2022 order. Getting lots of side eye from people waiting over a year. Don‘t take it personally.

Probably should be fine but the only thing that might be an issue is that June is EOQ and Tesla might insist you accept delivery in June. I’m just speculating.

My EDD updated to 5/23-5/29 on Saturday 5/21. On Sunday 5/22, I received a text and an email (which went to my spam folder) with a link to schedule delivery at the Grand SC in Chicago. I called the 888 number on on Tuesday to ask about financing and the Tesla rep (the woman answering my...

Yes I believe it helped me significantly. I had the EDD change like most everyone from July 2022 to December 2022-April 2023. I changed my configuration to Plaid last Friday and voila - my EDD changed Saturday morning to May 23-29 including a VIN, and I scheduled my delivery for this Saturday...

I noticed the EDD had changed in the app while randomly checking it Saturday morning. I then received a text from Tesla the next morning asking to schedule my delivery. “Hi xxx, congratulations, it's your turn to schedule your Model X for delivery. Select your tentative appointment now at...

Auto loan rates have increased. DCU is now at 2.5% with all the discounts and Tesla is currently at 3.24%. DCU said I missed the lowest rate by three days because even though I was approved for 45 days, the rate does not lock until it is funded, and it couldn’t be funded until you have a VIN...

Did you get the December 2022-April 2023 placeholder last week? My VIN is 3427xx and I called Tesla and they said it’s birthday was May 11.

I have a delivery scheduled for this week in Chicago too. I don’t have an amazing local SA. Would you be willing to share his/her name? And I have no idea where I am supposed to pick up. Grand or Elston?

What is your VIN minus the last 2 numbers? I have a delivery date this week for a Plaid and trying to estimate it’s build date. My. vIN is 7SAXCBE62NF3427xx.

Lo and behold after changing from a LR (OD April 2021) to a Plaid this week. While just checking my app, I received a VIN7SAXCBE62NF342*** and EDD of May 23-29.

Tesla is tracking you while you drive. In the app, there is a ”Safety Score” section and it shows your premium based on these factors: Forward Collision Warnings, Hard Braking, Aggresive Turning, Unsafe Following, and Forced AP Disengagements. The first day I bought into Tesla insurance, it...

I’m right there with you. Ordered LR in April 2021. Changed this week to Plaid when EDD jumped to December 2022 - April 2023. Current EDD now reads July 2022 but hoping since my original order was over a year ago, I see a delivery very very soon. Good luck to you!

Life is short. Take the sure thing and enjoy the heck out of it.

As to your first guess, we have a 2018 M3 LR. Keenly aware of stated and actual range. As to your second, we just switched to Tesla insurance this week and I’m driving like an 80 year old (no offense meant to any 80 year olds in this thread). Driving downtown on LSD in morning traffic - it’s...

I appreciate your question. The primary reason to change from LR to Plaid is so that we can (hopefully) get our car by this summer. I have been following this thread since April 2021 when we placed our order and I am just not very optimistic we would get our LR until the 4th quarter. There are...

I emailed Jorge and changed my order LR to a Plaid. The EDD changed from December 2022 - April 2023 to July. I was hesitant about losing the 15 miles in range but realized that’s roughly just a gallon of gas in mileage. In all my previous purchases of ICE cars, I’ve never taken into...

For those of you considering changing your LR to a Plaid. I texted my SA and emailed Jorge about changing my April 2021 LR to a Plaid. I haven’t heard from Jorge but my SA very quickly replied that “there is a chance Plaid Model X may arrive earlier than Model X, however there is no way to...

Does anyone recall what a Plaid cost back in April 2021? I am seriously considering asking Jorge to change my LR to a Plaid. The 15 extra miles in the LR be damned.

You gotta’ keep believing...

So if history repeats itself, after the last major EDD delay to July 2022, Tesla continued to deliver cars and we will continue to see deliveries through this year, especially a ramp up in June. I write this and part of me thinks I’m delusional for hoping I may still get my delivery this...

Here’s the upside to this delay : matrix headlights, swiveling screen, massage chairs, included premium Twitter accounts, upgraded batteries, consistent FWD alignments, more paint options, full reclining second row seats, etc.

This really blows. I’m hoping it’s a systemwide temporary reset but the cynic in me thinks that this is more of a long-term jump similar to what we saw earlier this year that changed the EDD to July. For new orders, LRs are showing January 2023 but Plaids are August - October of this year.

In this thread, somewhere in the past few months, I’ve read some have had an easy time and others have had difficulty with the payment process between DCU and Tesla. Maybe someone with hands on experience can chime in.

Yes that is correct. You need to become a member (becoming a member is very easy) and open a DCU checking account to get .5% off and an electric car gets you an additional .25% off. Their current rate is 2.74% for 65 months And with the .75% in discounts, you get 1.99%. I locked in this week...

I was approved by Tesla at a rate of 2.74% this March which should be expiring if it already hasn’t. I recall reading in this thread that someone recently received 3.24% with Tesla. I received a rate of 2.74% with DCU this week and the rate drops to 1.99% if one has excellent credit, uses a...

It brings tears to my eyes seeing another Chicagoan receive an X - tears of joy and envy especially since I’m also an April 2021 order. Car looks incredible. I live in Chicago and currently pay $1,888 for my 2018 Model 3 LR with State Farm with full coverage. If you are paying $1,776 annually...

Great review. Question about #10. If you drop something into the crevice of no return in the console, which you said you did, how did you retrieve it? Because that is exactly something I will do.

Call them (800) 328-8797. They are very friendly and can answer all your questions more effectively than I can.

Thanks for the tip. I am applying with DCU and can confirm they are still offering 1.99% on a 65 month. They will approve the rate for 45 days and if there is no VIN by the end of the 45 days, then I will have to reapply and hope DCU hasn’t raised its rates.

Perhaps good news? https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-monstrous-q2-2022-fremont-factory-capacity-10-20-percent-above/

Did you get the updated EDD today? I am an April 2021 order, 7 to 6 seater, in Chicago and still showing July EDD.

looks like the trend continues. Canada, east coast and now a Midwest. fingers crossed for more Chicago VINs.

So if I get our X in July or hopefully earlier, we are planning a road trip from Chicago to Montreal (in lieu of summer air travel which is expected to be a nightmare). 1) Anyone have experience with this drive in regards to crossing the Canadian border and 2) how are the superchargers on the...

Based on my having read this thread religiously over the last year, I would speculate that because Tesla could not get you the car by the end of March - end of Q1, they are now shuffling cars to Canada, East coast, and to Midwest for April and May and then will have another mad dash EOQ rush for...

Yes I made a change (7 to 6 seats and white exterior to black) through Jorge and I still have the same EDD July 2022. It took a day for the change to show up in my account.

April 2021 order. My SA would not make the configuration without the price increase. I emailed order support yesterday and today received this reply, “Thank you for reaching out. You can make changes without being updated to current pricing however design changes may impact your estimated...

Yikes. You‘d think this kind of policy would be disseminated to all employees and not on such an ad hoc random basis. Also, I asked if the 7 seater 2nd row had a stowable armrest and wireless charging. This is the reply I received: “I'm afraid I do not. We have not delivered a 7-seat version...

I texted my SA and asked if Tesla’s policy had changed to permit configuration changes. He/she texted back and said that is not official Tesla policy and to wait for official Tesla announcements.

I had texted my SA a few times regarding changing from a 7 seat to a 6 seat but the SA told me that any changes I request (versus Tesla asking me to change my config) would push me to the back of the line and subject me to the increased base price (an additional $10,000).

I have an April 2021 order and had ordered a 7 seat LR. Now, I would be more than happy to change to a 6 seater (and pay Tesla an additional $3,000). I am in Chicago and starting to see more Chicago orders coming in gives me FOMO.

Has Tesla approached anyone to modify their 5/7 seat LR to a 6 LR recently (excluding those who were approached in 2021)?
