oops had to add, 6 seater.
I am not an expert but I am in the same boat. What I am hearing the best case is October to early 2017.I just discovered this thread and joined... for you experts out there ---
My order for a 75 D 5 seat configuration with coils was confirmed on Dec 29, 2015. What is the best guess on VIN or delivery?
Thanks!
RCV
I have the same ordered in blue.
I was offered faster delivery if I switched to SAS but at full price. Declined change.
Hmm, a 7 seater with the 3rd row software locked down. Interesting concept@jsollender thanks for the info, that makes me feel much better about my choice. Ultimately, it came down to what was the best decision for my family. Additionally, with the six seater, I can carry both of my kids and both of my parents (they're at my house all the time). I wonder if Tesla is going to do to the 5 seater what they ultimately did to the 40kwh Model S when they discontinued it due to "low demand" (how much of that low demand was created by Tesla pushing their customers to upgrade?).
This is totally NOT a solve. I want the seats out of there and it doesn't make sense for Tesla to take the time or material to put something in the car (which materially takes space) only to make it inoperable. As creative as the folks as Tesla are I am sure this option was floated long ago. I do believe there is a market for a 5 seater which folds. Many reservations were not turned into orders because Tesla failed to stay true to the prototype in which all passenger seats folded flat. As another poster pointed out, 5 seat demand has been reduced by Tesla "making deals" with those you had a 5 seat option ordered, but were willing to switch to get the car earlier. It is difficult to really know what the demand is until the 5 seat version is released....meaning the car is truly built with 7 seats, but HQ locked to 5 on the last row, which is upgradable to 7 by Amex/Visa/MC/Discover/Bank Transfer? Very interesting. Maybe someone from HQ happening across this solution in the forums will have a flash of brilliance to solve the dilemma for TM...
Oh, I agree, it's a terrible idea, I only mentioned it as a joke.This is totally NOT a solve.

We have a Great Dane and we put a dog blanket between the two second row seats and she fit just fine. We also put a dog blanket in the cargo area if she want to sit there.I got a call from my DS yesterday informing me of a promotion to switch from the 5 seat model to 6 or 7 with 1/2 off of both the cost of the seats (originally $3K for 6-seat, $4k for 7 seat) and cost of the air suspension ($2500) -- i.e., $3750 to upgrade to 6 seat model.
I had looked at the 6 seat model 2 weeks ago at local showroom but worried that my labrador retriever (Bailey) would not be safe in the back cargo area on a sudden stop due to the absence of 3 middle seats. Bailey was the reason I didn't originally feel that I needed the 3rd row of seats (kids are grown). I took Bailey out to "test drive" the cargo area with the rear seats folded down -- he had plenty of room. I have a universal gate/barrier from an earlier vehicle which actually sits nicely behind the two middle seats while providing enough height to block the opening from the back cargo area to the open area between the second row seats. So, I upgraded.
I am told that I will hear by the end of the week where I will now be in the production queue, with an understanding that my X might be delivered by the end of September. The alternative would be the still uncertain "perhaps the end of 2016" target date.
I'm happy with this decision, not so much due to the earlier delivery as to the fact that I actually believe the 6-seat model is nice and I got it at a reduced price compared to what it would have cost when originally configured.
Ta da!
Wow, cranking up the heat. Tesla really wants to gets some sales now rather than later (or never, if a 5 seat X becomes the new 40 kWh Model S).I got a call from my DS yesterday informing me of a promotion to switch from the 5 seat model to 6 or 7 with 1/2 off of both the cost of the seats (originally $3K for 6-seat, $4k for 7 seat) and cost of the air suspension ($2500) -- i.e., $3750 to upgrade to 6 seat model.
When die you order your MX 5 seat? Is it a 60D, 75D or 90D?I got a call from my DS yesterday informing me of a promotion to switch from the 5 seat model to 6 or 7 with 1/2 off of both the cost of the seats (originally $3K for 6-seat, $4k for 7 seat) and cost of the air suspension ($2500) -- i.e., $3750 to upgrade to 6 seat model.

I am ready to do the same but I didn't get a call. I just asked about the upgrade 2 weeks ago and I was told it was not available.
