I've gotta be honest, it warms my heart that this turned into a thread w/ dudes trying to make sure I have the proper lady-bait-mobile 🤣 Whatever I get has to easily fit a car seat, since I still have a 1 y/o... the iX might not be the sexiest outside, but the interior is absolute fire and I can...

I regularly feel like I'm fighting with my driver's side door. It would be funny if it wasn't happening to me 🤣

No, that's only on the M60 now. I drove both and my butt couldn't tell a difference so I'm content :)

I genuinely hope so and can't wait to see the new products!

~August 1; it's in production now.

Rated I think is 305, I saw 345 on youtube... 0-60 is quoted at 4.2 I think.

Well, I chose an iX over either getting a new X or refinancing my existing one. I think my iX total pre-tax was $107K.... my X was $116K I believe when I bought it, so more or less the same.

I mean, if we're all being honest neither are super sexy cars. The Model X is beautiful from the front and... less so.. from other angles. The iX is pretty gnarly in the front but actually looks really cool from behind w/ the upgraded tail lights.

You should watch the Out Of Spec Reviews video on the model X vs. iX range... TLDR: the most efficient X (non-plaid refresh with 20" wheels) lost in an actual range to the least efficient (M60 with 21" wheels) iX. Efficiency in terms of wH/m yes... but in actual range no. Size is another...

Have you actually tried the competition before saying that? I write software for a living... FSD beta is just that, beta. It *can* be very impressive. It also *can* sometimes just try to murder you. Both of those are true at the same time. I tested the BMW highway driving system. It's...

So a $100K+ Tesla doesn't have it because...?

Mine was a lease deal, a few thousand below MSRP and they rolled the $7500 tax credit in. I'm not sure where the myth that dealers are marking these up comes from, because it doesn't appear to be true at least by me. As for price, the x50 has everything the standard X does except air...

This is great advice. When I bought my model X it was much more a concern for me. Now my longest trip is typically up to WI for some golf/resort time and those spots are all doable on a single charge in any modern EV.

Thanks! I'll still be around watching Tesla stuff with excitement. If I were shopping for a mid-luxury, smaller car I'd still buy a Y performance over just about anything else. When the time comes for my kids to drive, a well used/loved-low spec 3 would be great from a safety/etc standpoint...

I was going to say something similar. The *only* reason I have to wait ~2 months for my iX is because I was super picky about features and color (I wanted basically everything but not the M60 because I don't care about the extra 100hp). If I would've been cool with black, or missing a couple...

At home. And the new place I'm moving to is letting me install a 220V outlet in the garage, so it's an easier choice for me than some for sure.

I agree 100% on the tech part. Yes the native UI is better in a Tesla. The iX has 2 screen Car Play. I can drop Apple Maps in the HUD and get all the nifty features that brings along (like turn notification haptics on my watch, sync with my contacts/calendar that actually works, etc). Edited...

No FSD, but the highway driver assist is at least as good as the advanced autopilot was on my old S. I'll definitely miss the supercharger network... that's the one huge one. However, I don't really take road trips anymore so it's not as big a deal as it used to be. It's bigger than the Y...

For sure... the problem is that buyer #2 can look at something like an iX and feel pretty good about it now. Car Play on a nice big screen is just a significantly better UI for infotainment than the current Tesla setup. Yes the Tesla map is better than the BMW built-in map... but not...

My situation is I'm getting divorced, and I either need to refinance my current car or get a new one. Today I test drove a 2024 BMW iX and I left blown away. Yes, it's a little smaller (5 seats vs. 6, but considerably more useable cargo area). It lacks air suspension (they stopped that after...

They get the money directly, it's all handled through the app. In fact they even have a system that allows you to do an ACH transfer directly from your back account for down payment/etc so no need to get a cashier's check. They even had my (not super large) local bank supported.

The only thing I was worried about w/ the 22s was ride quality, and it's so much better than my 2018 S that I'm super happy. If the extra ~16mi of range turns out to be a software glitch, even better :)

Yeah, same experience. I'm taking it in next week to get the ambient lights looked at and I'll ask about it then.

Same as yours, 315 :(

I've got an appointment for XPEL stealth coming up soon as well... I'm curious, are going to do it (or matte vinyl) over the trim or leave it glossy? I'm still on the fence personally because the black really does look quite good as is.

22's... handling is surprising for such a huge car. It feels slightly better than my old S, but I don't know how much of that is down to always leaving it on sport mode because it feels better with the yoke to me. I've been driving it like a grandma lately because apparently the "safety...

I figured I'd drop in with a quick little review after driving the new X around for just under a week. I'm coming from a 2018 (pre-raven) Model S for context. Overall it's a pretty huge upgrade. The ride is significantly smoother and quieter. I'm sure some of that is down to the better...

Has anyone had trouble with the ambient lights? Mine don't seem to actually turn on. If I toggle them on/off in the UI the cabin remains unchanged...

I wanted to chime in for @Stro that my LR w/ 22" wheels *also* shows only 315mi for "full" charge. I'm charging it to 100% tonight so we'll see, but you're not alone.

I can 100% confirm it IS there, because I configured it today and it seems to work better than my older model s (location is more accurate to the end of my driveway)

Picked up my model X today and it's fantastic! The only issues I've noticed so far are that neither of the key fobs worked initially. I was able to pair one but the other is stubbornly refusing to work/pair. Any ideas? Other than that the car is awesome. One of the FWDs doesn't like to open...

I was out running errands today and stopped to see if I could find my car. She's dirty, but I didn't see any obvious defects in my quick little walk around!

I had the maxspider mats in my S... they're really good *except* the ugly plastichrome "3D" logo. I guess if they were just in the back I'd never notice 🤣 Unfortunately it seems the Tesla mats are sold out :\. I'll ask my local shop if they have any.

So I called Tesla this morning to see if my X had arrived yet/I could take delivery sooner since I'm in a rental car after the accident. I just got a text from the local delivery team that my X arrived this morning and pending inspection they can get me on the schedule for tomorrow!!! OK now...

22" wheels take the extra mileage

2.74 is exactly what I got as well... I suspect it's the lowest Wells Fargo is doing right now, but I'm no expert.

Now that I've worked out all the financing/etc I'm finally getting excited again! Driving around in a rental Jeep Compass for a little bit doesn't hurt the anticipation either, TBH... A couple of questions for folks who know: 1). What are the current best fitting winter mats? I had 3D...

It’s being forwarded to a “total loss adjuster”, so probably not. Both airbags deployed/etc.

I have a delivery date!!! Not a moment too soon, too. This is my model s after a “snow squall” this weekend 😭 Thankfully all the people are fine. The car did its job and kept us safe.

I already have insurance on my S; I don't recall them ever verifying my DL... I'd planned to just call them and tell them I traded the car/give them the new VIN and finance info. I get a bundled/group discount from work for home + auto so I doubt anything anyone else would quote could be much...

So here's a fun problem I'm hoping some of our fellow IL members can offer some advice on... my IL license expired this month. I can't renew it because NY (where I lived ~15 years ago) suspended my driving privileges for not paying a $25 fee I knew nothing about when I moved. I've done all...

7SAXCBE56NF32xxxx I think the N means 2022 yes?

It went from July --> March 01-05 today WITH A VIN 🤣

Anyone have experience with the Porsche Cayenne plug-in hybrid? I can get a pretty tweaked out one for the price of my X to hold me over (or just buy and say I'll come back to Tesla when they get their *sugar* together)...

I actually would've considered it before... but we recently got a model 3 loaner when the S was in for the recall. My wife HATED it. I didn't love it either TBH, but I would've been fine with it for a few months. I'm sure the Y is better just because size, but my primary complaints were the...

Mine went to July 2022. I'm beyond frustrated now. I have to seriously consider other options... does anyone have any suggestions? I'm actually not opposed to buying a model x inventory vehicle and flipping it in July, but I'd basically eat sales tax twice (at least) doing that.

Yeah, I know... I had planned to buy it after delivery anyhow. I was just going to do it on a card for points; oh well.

"March"... which was presumably March 2021 since I ordered right after the refresh announcement.

As a test I added it back... I was still grandfathered in at $10K so it's 116 now. Let's see if it moves 🤣

I ordered in Jan '21, so $106,790. I'll probably just get shoved to the back of the line until I give up 😂
