    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Tesla is playing games with these trade-in values. I literally dealt with the exact same figure you did. Ultimately sold to Carmax for $69K. The funny thing is that Tesla is selling used MYPs for $82K. They "include" FSD in those, but still... its basically just printing dollars if folks accept...

    Hey all... it's been a bit since I posted. Still loving my X. No major issues or qualms at all. It's a great car. I do have a question for this crew. Until yesterday, I didn't even realize that the area under the wireless phone chargers lit up with P N D etc. Mine did it for the first time...

    @jbrowdy I had this exact same thing happen to me with my MYP. Keep the hope! This is a real situation and it took about 2-3 days for it to be resolved for me. On a related note, while I’m very, very happy with my MXP I have noticed a few additional quality issues that weren’t immediately...

    People won't like when I say this, but... both tilt screen AND matrix lights are dramatically overrated. It's funny how often people in this forum obsess about them. I have tilt in my X and it's close to useless IMO. You can only choose from 3 pre-defined positions (not toggle as you see fit...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    Sorry, posted on the other forum but forgot to update here… Took delivery on Friday. She’s a beauty. Had 7 miles at delivery, and no major issues. SO much better than my MYP!

    Just took my first longer drive in the X (30+ highway miles). Oh my… what an absolutely dramatic improvement from my Y. Honestly, I can’t believe I tolerated the ride quality of the Y as long as I did! Speaking of, I sold that to Carmax yesterday for an offer that was $8K+ higher than Tesla. X...

    Pickup was largely smooth. As previously mentioned, Tesla gave me an outrageously lowball offer on my Y so I’ll be parting with that tomorrow (Carmax). That’s honestly my biggest gripe right now, because it’s created unnecessary extra work and I lost the trade-in tax benefit. For a brief moment...

    Today is the day!!! Besides Tesla absolutely trying to screw me on my MYP trade-in (I’ll be taking it elsewhere), the communication and process has been good so far. I drove over to get a sneak peak after hours but my vehicle must be inside. Which I guess is good. I did note 4 black LR Xs...

    @jbrowdy my car is in Chicago and I’m taking delivery tomorrow. I’ll probably cruise by later tonight to get a sneak peek! They do come via freight train for sure, at least to Chicago. When I took delivery on my MYP it was delayed because they couldn’t get a truck to take it from the rail yard...

    Has anyone been successful in getting Tesla to budge on a trade-in valuation? I’m downright insulted at what they offered me for my 2022 MYP with only 1000 miles - $61K. They must think I’m a sucker. I just saw them sell the exact same car for $82K last week. SMDH…

    Fun little update… will post more later. My EDD had shifted to 6/12-7/18 earlier this week.

    As expected, all of the EDD panic was for naught… My MXP order shifted again overnight. Like someone else on here, I went from generic “October” to 6/18-7/23. Which means, “brace yourself for the EOQ push but no promises that you’re going to get a car”.

    Everyone needs to stop panicking. This entire week has been filled with EDDs pushing back. I'd give Tesla until Monday to get things sorted, but based on an extrapolation of what we have in this forum, there's zero chance they will even scratch at their production goals if these all stay pushed...

    It seems like a number of folks here (myself included) had late May EDDs disappear. Hard to know what’s going on. Maybe a production delay of some kind? An error with their forecasting engine? Or just the general schizophrenia of the overall system? Only time will tell!

    To everyone clamoring for matrix headlights, I’m not sure the juice is worth the squeeze until they are software-enabled. As many have pointed out… yes, they are brighter and yes, the coverage is greater. However, if you’re driving in a city / suburb they will annoy other drivers endlessly. I...

    Folks on here have astutely pointed out previously that the second month of every quarter seems to focus on the middle of the US. To me, the recent EDD shifts seem to reinforce this point, though maybe they’re a bit later than usual due to the production pause. FWIW, this is exactly what...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    My two cents FWIW… If the Y comes before you get a narrow EDD for the X you should absolutely take it. As you can see from my signature I’m in the same boat. Resale / trade-in on the Y is really good right now, and will likely hold. Especially if you live in a state where you can roll the...

    I had an iX M60 on order. The wait was going to be less than 60 days. Ultimately I decided to cancel since A) the overall proportions of the vehicle were very similar to my MYP and B) the performance (acceleration, in particular) was also similar. Except the car was almost 2x more expensive...

    All seasons on the MXP is HUGE news for us northern dwellers. Would save me at least $1500 (if I just replace the tires), maybe more (if I put on a whole set of winter wheels). Let's hope that keeps happening!

    Good heads up! I’ve also found if you’re flexible in terms of exact specs AND have a helpful local SA they will often be willing to update your configuration to create a match to a canceled order so the VIN will assign to you. Which can accelerate things.

    Since the pandemic turned vehicles into an appreciating asset for at least another 18-24 months, it makes zero logical sense to lease. And even moreso with the immediate upside you'll have in a Tesla due to the pricing shifts.

    It’s amazing how many of these end up with paint chips. Completely unacceptable and much more cumbersome to fix than scratches, misaligned doors, etc. It’s the main reason I passed on my MXP opportunity.
