    New Tesla owner - Jumping the line?

    We have a MX and reserved a 3 this morning. The sales person my husband talked to said we'd get an invite to configure in a couple weeks, with delivery 4-6 weeks after that. I have no idea how legit that is given the backlog in reservations and I have enough experience with Tesla not to...

    Inventory Model S?

    I didn't know that! Interesting... I'll look into it. Thanks. I haven't looked into the M3 at all really, so I'm not sure of the issues (aside from getting one). We are very spoiled by my MX, so the S is very appealing.

    Inventory Model S?

    I just did a quick search and didn't find what I'm looking for, so I'm asking here (feel free to point me to relevant thread). I have a Model X, which is our family car. My husband is finally going to replace his 11 year old Prius with an electric car. Since the X is our main/family/travel...

    I just duct taped my Model X...per instruction

    I got my X in August (vin 122xx) and have been lucky there have been no major issues. I started having lots of phantom obstacles all around the car last week, so when I was reversing at .5 mph to park (me, not the car), I ignored a sensor since I didn't see an issue and I gently bumped a trash...

    AutoPilot question

    I'm not explaining it well, I'm very new to this! My speed assist settings are set to "relative" for speed limit, with 0 offset from speed limit. When I was driving on the highway with a 65 mph speed limit, once traffic cleared, AP started increasing well above 65 and I don't know why.

    AutoPilot question

    The speed limit was the same the whole time, though I couldn't go 65 until the traffic cleared. I thought if I had it on relative speed, it would pace itself by surrounding traffic but no more than the setting of the speed limit offset (0 mph at the time). Is that incorrect?

    AutoPilot question

    Another question from a new owner - when I used AP in traffic coming home after delivery 2 days ago, everything worked great - until traffic cleared and there was open space. The car wanted to increase speed well above the speed limit, so I took over. I have it set at relative speed and to go...

    Model X August Deliveries

    I almost had a heart attack at first, but things got out of control pretty quickly and happy babies made the experience (a little) easier. It is our new family car after all, so I have to (try to) be a little less anal about it. Easier said than done, LOL! @ShadowR55 I will check and let you know.

    Model X August Deliveries

    Picked up my Model X yesterday in Fremont and I'm in love. We had to bring our 16 month old twins, which made it a very "interesting" experience for us and the very amused Tesla employees. The checklist went out the window as I watched my girls break-in our new family car in a matter of...

    How long did u get your car after production

    I got the email that my car entered production on 7/31. I'm picking it up today. :)

    Model X August Deliveries

    Thanks, I didn't realize that (I quickly excluded PUP since I didn't want ventilated seats or the self-presenting door, so I didn't look at all the details). That said, I'm still thinking the AO kit would brighten the interior more, right?
  13. R

    Model X August Deliveries

    From the reviews from X owners, it looks like it's set up the same way as the Model S, so the wiring/blanks are there regardless of PUP. Ultra-Bright LED Interior Light Kit (4 Bulbs)

    Model X August Deliveries

    I keep going back and forth about wrapping. In addition to the cost, my other concern is I don't want to be without my X after I get it! I wish Tesla arranged it themselves so I don't have to pick up the car then give up for a wrap. Re: interior lighting, a lot of people seem happy with the...

    Model X August Deliveries

    Just scheduled delivery for next Thursday! We can't do the tour since we'll have our 16 month old twins with us, but I cannot wait!

    Model X August Deliveries

    Looks like they did a batch of 6 seat 90Ds before 7 seats around my order window. My car is out of production but still needs to go through the inspection process. Really hoping that happens quickly and I can get my X before next weekend!!

    Model X August Deliveries

    Got an email today that my X has entered production. I'm thinking best case scenario is that I'm a couple weeks away from delivery? I'm not sure how quickly things happen if production is on schedule (I'm picking up in Fremont, so no transportation time).

    Waiting 3 years for Model X. Now a bait & switch?

    I'm 5'4 and had no problem sitting in the 2nd row middle seat (which is one of the reasons we went with 7 not 6 seats; we'll primarily use it as a 5 seater).

    White Seats tested: Coffee, Ketchup & Kids (VIDEO)

    I have 16 month old twins and those car seats (assuming you mean the NextFit at that age). I don't have my X yet, but I played with car seats in it, which I talked about in this thread about twins in the X, with lots of good input: Twin babies and Model X?

    Model X August Deliveries

    It really makes no sense as a business model. Why piss off so many eager customers who will fork over a lot of $$$? It's like they are more eager to get orders than meet them. I want my X as soon as possible, but think people who ordered before me should be, you know, before me.

    "Stuff Holder" for 2nd Row

    Not sure how protective you are of your seat backs, but there are a number of back of front seat pockets that will cover the entire front seat backs and hang down the back from the headrest. There are also car organizer bins that could work. I don't know if any have a velcro strap that may let...

    Model X August Deliveries

    My Tesla store manager misunderstood the trade-in situation. The company that comes to inspect it said the appraisal is only good for 14 days (logically, since who knows what will happen to your car after that). Did they tell you something different? I need my car until I get the X, so if I...

    @nehcrut - Thanks! I didn't know that about KBB and will definitely check it out. I was already planning to get additional quotes, but that may simplify things. (I also am using the Tesla 2 week appraisal window for the trade-in as a way to check-in and hopefully get more information about...

    Model X August Deliveries

    Checked in with my DS yesterday since I may be trading in my car and scheduling the appraisal visit needs to be within 2 weeks of delivery. She said she still recommends I get the appraisal the first week in August, so I'm hoping I'll get my X by mid-August (90D, 7 seats, vin 122xx). I'm 45...

    When do you get first contact from DS?

    My 90D confirmed on 6/18, vin#122xx, but apparently vin order doesn't mean anything anymore. My DS emailed me 6/24 about my production window being assigned to August, consistent with info when I ordered. I also emailed her a question last Sunday morning and heard back within 2 hours. I was...

    Musk had enough of the Falcon Wing Doors yet?

    I've been reading this since we cross-shopped with the Volvo XC90 T8 (14 mile electric range is ridiculous but enough for around town), but ordered the X since the Volvo had much smaller interior cargo room. It sounds like you did what worked for your family's needs, but for us, not being able...

    White Seats tested: Coffee, Ketchup & Kids (VIDEO)

    Thanks for posting that! While you are braver than I would be with the ketchup and coffee, it was good to see the older dirt from the kids clean up easily as well (I don't have my X yet). Though I just bought the car seat protector that has a seat back, so my girls can just kick that instead...

    Model X August Deliveries

    Got my vin # 122xx My husband can't believe how much time I now spend on these forums. In addition to being anxious to get the car, I'm now completely out of patience taking my twins in and out of their car seats in my Prius. I cannot wait for the FWD to make this so much easier.

    Model X August Deliveries

    Ordered 6/11, confirmed 6/18. No vin# yet, but my DS contacted me for the first time yesterday and said my production window is in August (same as what it said online when I ordered). I have no idea if that actually means anything, so I'll just continue to obsess... 90D, 20", blue, ultra...

    Ultra white seats vs. light headliner with kids

    The seat material is the same as the material on the bottom half of the doors. The headliner is on the top half. I didn't consider the tan since I specifically do not want leather. I've also heard that the tan shows more dirt and is harder to clean than the white. Thanks. I haven't seen the...

    Ultra white seats vs. light headliner with kids

    Sorry, yes, I realize I can't get both (nor would I want to). I'm thinking of it as an either/or to lighten up the interior depending on which is easiest to clean. I haven't seen the ultra white seats in person but that's currently what I opted for in my order. The seats look great in pics, I'm...

    Ultra white seats vs. light headliner with kids

    I have one more day to change my X order and have decided I do not want an all black interior. I think it really contributes to the claustrophobic feeling of the 3rd row in the 7 seater (yes, the 6 seater is better but it's not best for us; I also only felt claustrophobic in the all black...

    Twin babies and Model X?

    This is what we tested and it worked. My husband is tall but lean and I'm very thin, so it may have been more doable for us than others (I could also scoot in the 2nd row and move into the third row in the 6 seater without moving the 2nd row at all). I did realize when we were researching this...

    Twin babies and Model X?

    I think it depends what you are used to. I'm currently driving a Prius with a wide mirror on the middle seat headrest in the back row, so I can see both my twins in that mirror. Meaning I'm already used to crappy rear view mirror visibility. I'm totally comfortable using the rearview cam for...

    Twin babies and Model X?

    We have 15 month old twins and we just ordered the X. Our Tesla dealer brought it by our house last Friday for a garage fit test, but we also used it to check car seats and stroller fit. With 2 rear facing convertible car seats in the 2nd row side seats, my 6'2" husband and I could both get...

    Will MX fit in my garage?

    Walnut Creek (Ryan Torres is the Owner Advisor). I was pretty surprised when he offered it after I emailed to get some specs and told him it was so we could figure out the garage.

    Will MX fit in my garage?

    New to the forum but have been reading a lot as we decide whether to order the Model X. But I wanted to share that our Tesla dealer is bringing a Model X to our house (~30 min from the showroom) to do a garage fit test. My husband will also get to test drive it then, since I took the test...
