We Took the Tesla Model X for a Test Drive
The journalist loved the car and features, but the carpet was tearing in the back, weatherstripping was hanging off the FWD, and the child seat in row 2 got crushed while accessing 3rd row. How in the world would TM not inspect the car prior to giving it to a journalist to ensure fit and finish were perfect? We all know, it's the same for the journalists as you beta testers who got early VINs before the 5 seat wannabees like me. While the current builds are going to Europe and China, me and @vperl sit here waiting and waiting. I am reading that current builds are better on fit n finish and complaints are dropping, but come on Elon. Cant you communicate with the DS and Assembly Line manufacturers and ensure that carpet is properly installed, and weatherstripping is properly secured before you loan a company car to a journalist? Are you really trying to garner positive reviews? If so, fix the production line and fix the communications to customers, and be more transparent so we, in these forums, know what the heck is going on with the production ramp. For me, my MX was anticipated for delivery mid-2016. We are in mid-2016, which runs from April 1-September 30. I have never heard from my DS about any update, and I have no VIN. With current vehicles being told to expect delivery in June-July, I have serious misgivings if I will see my car before start of Q4....and I really, really want the 2nd row to fold flat....and I really want to see everyone get a sunshade, including @K-MTG
