    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    If I had purchased this 22” MXP in cash, and sold it used today, I would have lost about $60k. That’s assuming I can sell a used MXP for 88k but that has now changed. I wager these will drop into the 60-70k range now. But since it’s a loan, with interest and maintenance costs already...

    Model X price cuts- yet again

    Used refresh MXPs used to hover north of 100k, and recently in the 90’s. Nobody is going to buy the same exact car, with 10-20k miles and less tech for more money then a brand new one. A new MXP (equipped like my $147k plaid) is 97k. How does residual value not get impacted?

    Model X price cuts- yet again

    My ‘22 X plaid has now dropped by $50k in MSRP value. Elon is creating enemies faster then friends at this point and he’s gotta be careful or he’ll lose the people who propelled him here.

    Windshield Wiper Fluid is not dispensing

    This may sound crazy, but is this the first time you tried to use them? My wiper tube that connects to the pump was disconnected upon delivery of both my ‘22 MYP and again on my ‘22 MXP. The tube was visible when opening the hood and I just reconnected it to the wiper arm. Problem solved.

    Tesla X Plaid sad owner advice

    I experienced something similar when upgrading from a ‘22 MYP to a ‘22 MXP. For the first month I couldn’t find a comfortable seating position, and used to complain about it all the time. I converted from a Range Rover Velar. In addition to getting absolutely hammered on MSRP reductions (a...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    That’s the funny thing, isn’t it - I think we would all love a bug/feedback reporting system that worked, it would make all the current buyers feel as if they were beta testing his current cars. Sharing feedback at that scale could be incredible. Shame

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Perhaps, but we’ve all been waiting a while and there hasn’t been any Birds Eye views added yet. That blind spot in the front could use a camera imho. I’ve had my ‘22 MXP since July last year and I have the LiDAR sensors, I still believe that having a camera on the front bumper would be a game...

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    Saw a new MXP at the dealer, interesting updates! Notice the rear bumper now has chrome letters, on top of the matrix headlights.

    Experience with lemon lawyers?

    Several years ago, I processed a BBB claim on a new corvette I had purchased. The next morning I got a call from GM corporate offering to buy the car back or get a new car under the lemon law framework. Worked for me, perhaps give that a try?

    MX Plaid - Loss of (Horse)Power?

    So I got my MXP in July of 22 and I’ve noticed a significant change in Low-end torque from the day I bought it to today. The feeling I once described as “trying to control a pissed off bull” when accelerating, also came with the car slightly lifting the front end and wheels chattering was so...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    Forgot to update everyone. I took delivery last week 7/25 on my white/white MXP with 22” wheels. I still have my ‘22 MYP which had Matrix LEDs headlights so I plan to record a few comparison videos and do a proper write up. If anyone is interested in some of my first impressions please DM me...

    what's the waiting time after you get back to the line?

    I just went through this and learned a lot about the process from a very helpful associate. Here is what I was told. You get 2 chances to ‘accept delivery’ Once your first VIN is assigned, and you chose (for whatever reason) to deny delivery, they recommend you simply not schedule a delivery...

    Lol sorry to get everyone all worked up but I’ve been checking the site quite often to see what they have changed. I noticed that they’re offering enhanced software features now for +6k 🤦🏽‍♂️ But as I wait for my car to deliver, I’ll keep wearing my tinfoil hat.

    Do I need the keyfob on the 2022 refresh MX?

    I use it for my parking garage valet service! Although I am waiting for my MXP to deliver, I currently have a ‘22 MYP and I bought a key fob (Y’s don’t come with them) and I find it very useful for my parking garage that has valet service. When I give them the Tesla credit card: as soon as I...

    So I just got the weirdest call from Tesla in Paramus, NJ. Yesterday I got a VIN assigned NF340xxx and it was a 4/21/22 build, no tilt, and no center horn on the yoke! I asked if I was the first to get this VIN and they said no. But there are “no records on file as to the reason why the...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    I’m curious how different they are and if they can be retrofit. I have them on my ‘22MYP and the nighttime visibility is excellent, I never use my fogs (as I noticed many other Tesla owners leave their fogs on all the time). I’ve never seen a MY with standard lights to compare them with...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    Hah - I do not, and I’ve been on the fence about it in all honesty. I rented it for one month in my MYP. Pros: I get the little bell sound that tells me a red light has switched to green light, which is hands down my favorite feature. I get to see what my car is capable of doing. And I get to...

    Waiting Room: Refreshed Model X 5/7 seats

    Hah - yes I sure hope so! I was referring to the 5-seater configuration on the X being delivered and reviewed on YouTube recently with a bench in the back with no retractable arm rest. This is a feature on every Tesla, including the 3, Y, and S but for some reason a refreshed 5-seater Model X...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    Does anyone know if having AFS means your lights are the new matrixed LED lights? I was checking out the current Model X and Model S owner’s manuals and it refers to them as “if equipped”… 🧐 which would be a good sign for future deliveries - assuming this is not a standard feature for regular...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    I could talk your ear off about my experience with the MYP - DM me and I’ll elaborate. Overall I LOVE my MYP, it just doesn’t have some of the luxury features I had grown accustomed to at that price point, so I bumped up to the MXP. Speaking of delivery updates; my father and I just got the...

    2022 Model Y Performance - gauging interest - NJ

    Hi Everyone, I’m considering letting go of my gorgeous White ‘22 MYP this summer. I have an order on an X plaid so naturally it would be selfish of me to have them both. I’m located in NJ if anyone local wants to come and check her out. Features at a glance Approximately 1,700 miles...
