I had the same thing happen to me where the EDD updated daily, it happened for 9 days before I finally got my Vin
Just completed by financing at FedChoice FCU and got 72 months at 3.99% locked in until 12/31. Now the waiting game continues. I'm hoping I am a late December 2023 delivery.
Credit union change rates at the first on the month so as long as they are still showing 4.99% you get a 1% discount when opening an account and loan.

417xxx, so it's an older build which would make sense how the delivery is within the week of a VIN assignment. Was skeptical of that because it usually takes 2 weeks to ship to the East Coast.
Hopefully, it's not a reject due to issues but fingers crossed...
417XXX is a build from middle of September...It most likely is an inventory car or a rejected vehicle. Someone probably was trying to pick it up, and then delayed it for like two weeks or so, and then decided against buying it.
I've been on this thread for a long time. 417XXX VINs were issued in mid-late September. First two weeks of October they were 419XXX and 420XXX. Now we are on 421XXX and soon, 422XXX.
You can also check the Model X tracker and it shows you.
However, keep in mind this is generally the case, and it's not an exact science. If you get a VIN that's 417XXX now, it was most likely a rejected vehicle by someone who didn't want it anymore. It doesn't mean that the car itself was bad, it could also mean financially, the person couldn't go through the transaction. I would go through these more with a fine tooth comb just in case.

Yep, makes sense. That's what I'm hoping for. But agreed, the lower VIN does make me a bit more cautious now when I'm going to pick it up. I don't mind getting an older build so just gonna inspect it thoroughly and if it looks good, I'll end up taking it.
Yea, I’m not in CO. So, those rebates mean nothing to me, unfortunately. (Does the iX not qualify for rebates also in CO)?
The MXLR also goes to almost $90K by adding the bigger wheels and a non-black interior. And, people aren’t paying close to MSRP for iX. 10% off MSRP is the norm, and can do better most times. So, Model X LR is actually more expensive than iX 50.
But, yes, I put a fair amount of value into having peace and quiet. A Model Y P that I test drove was atrocious with its booming noise issue. I would gladly pay the premium for the X just to not have to deal with the possibility of drawing unlucky with that noise issue.

Sound like you know a lot hahaha. How do I know it’s 2024 model by the vin? My EDD is Dec 22 - Feb 16 now.

I tried the 'main' number, i'm up to 42:00 on hold with the world's worst music, interrupted by stupid clips of audio.
No option for a call back, nothing.
Am I black listed? I'll call from another number when I get a chance, see what happens.
Not. Got a human. very nice person, just took an HOUR on hold... he pressed some buttons, and the app updated within seconds.

If you look at your VIN number, the 10th character should be an 'R' (which is the 2024 letter). If it's a 'P', it's still a 2023 model.

Yup, 10th-digit other than a "P - 2023". None reported yet....
2024 VINs?
I recently ordered MXLR Ultra Red as soon as I found out about the price drop on 9/1. Upgrading from a 2020 Model X LR which I will use to FSD transfer. Delivery date set for 10/4. I currently have no regrets other than the fact that I'd be getting one of the last 2023's available, because...

(Long post, sorry)
Picked up my Ultra Red/White MXP this morning. Everything went very smoothly, including the wire that was sent yesterday by FedChoice, just as their documentation indicated would be done. Only issues I found were a slight bulge in the first 2-3" of rubber trim where the upright portion of the passenger FWD meets the flat top part. Cosmetic really as it still seals to dust and the water seals are underneath. Still, the SA noted it saying it would be fixed if I wanted. I'm kinda on the fence because it's not obvious. The carbon fiber retractable panel covering the cup holders had a very slight abrasion that only showed in certain light. SA said they would replace the whole thing for me if I chose, but as I drive with it halfway retracted 95% of the time (cupholders in use), I will never notice it. Might just let it be also. I think no one not specifically looking for it would see it. Also had some dirt/scuffs on the bottom of driver side door that SA cleaned up nicely for me.
Other than these, it was as close to perfect as I've seen any car get. The black trim around the windows lines up and isn't randomly tilted/depressed as I've seen some. Panel gaps are all even and none are excessively sized. The grayish plastic cladding around the wheel wells has a very tiny and uniform gap all the way around the circumference where it meets the paint. No issues whatsoever with FWD function, and the handles line up nearly perfectly with the fronts. No paint issues to my eye (I'm not a detailer). Definitely some orange peel and a few light swirls but I've never seen a car (new or otherwise) without these. No rattles, squeaks, vibrations - not even the shudder I noticed from day 1 on my 22 MSLR. All electronics working 100%, GPS accuracy flawless, FSD calibrated in less than 20 miles on my way home. Neither of my previous Teslas were this good. I am floored.
A few observations (good and bad) coming from a 2022 Model S LR for those you looking to live vicariously:
1. Power. Unbelievable power. Took my son for a drive and punched it from a dig to maybe 50-60 mph. What a rush. Probably not life altering like the MSP, but definitely WAY beyond what my MSLR could do on the best of days. More visceral punch than my M3P had and more top end than my MSLR. The power and torque in Plaid mode - especially at lower speeds - is so overwhelming I actually feel more comfortable in sport mode, which feels a lot like Insane mode on my MSLR, maybe even a touch more powerful. Seriously, I cannot overstate just how torquey and throttle sensitive Plaid mode is - if I sneezed and jerked my leg just a little bit the car would rocket forward and pin everyone in the vehicle to their seatbacks. I love it, my kids love it, my wife is so-so but adores watching the kids have such a good time with it. I'm a lucky man.
2. That unending windshield. What an absolute joy. Today is one of those perfect crisp, fall days with scattered clouds over a bright blue sky, and just watching the scenery roll by as I drove the car home with some tunes going was a magical experience. Made me feel like I was driving a convertible. Sun in the upper portion didn't bother me one bit, either, which was particularly suprising given that I didn't have my Maui Jim's.
3. The suspension is definitely firm when I pick the right settings, but compliant in comfort mode. A good deal better than my MS LR, for sure. The testers I drove previously didn't feel nearly as nice.
4. A decent amount more wind noise at highway speeds than my MS LR. Still a composed and quiet experience, but not on par with the MS, which was excellent. Seems at least partially due to the acres of glass surrounding you.
5. Still can't get my FWDs to open fully every time in my garage. They do a pretty good job with only a single button press, allowing me (5'11") to get in easily with just a bit of stooping, and would be more than enough for my kids to enter (primary occupants for those seats), but I would still like to resolve this issue. The car only seems to prompt me with the "Open fully at this location" button some of the time when I open them, and the setting doesn't seem to really do anything. Good thing is that I'm sure they can open all the way, so I don't have to watch them closely as I nudge it a few inches at a time.
6. The front sliding tray (oppose the cupholder slider) feels a little loose and rattles a bit when sliding. Oddly, my MS tray - which seems identical - felt pretty tight and high quality. Not sure if they're cheaping on some of these less used parts, but yeah.
7. The red brakes on the plaid look nice and loud, but tbh I think I would have preferred the black they used to be. I thought this was a good change until I see how much that Ferrari red clashes with the classier Ultra red. Not that noticeable though, overall.
8. Camera quality compared to my old MS (with HW3) is superb. Much more accurate color and better resolution. FSDb feels MUCH improved from the MS, but I don't know if that's the HW4.
9. Vision (as others have posted many times) is 100% useless for parking. I have always disabled parking chimes and I do so again for this car.
10. The front door open, pause, then pull open took me several uses to get used to. It doesn't seem to be an issue when opening from the outside, and inside I just pop the door, then remove my belt and get out. By the time I'm actually trying to open the door the motor has released.
11. Coming from a Model S which still had a few legacy components from a very old platform (some of which they updated since I took delivery in Jan 2022), I'm loving the newer pedigree of the Model X. Components like the taillights, headlights, charge port, trunk mechanism and a few other minor ones feel more on par with a M3/MY-era car, and less a decade old platform.
12. I'm not at all crazy about the configuration of the subtrunk cover panel. There is no holder to keep it up if you want it vertical, and if you put it in the lower setting (my likely default position), there are some gaps around the edges of it making it look a bit kludgey. You can also see those unfortunate wire harnesses for the third row seats in that position, which looks unrefined and cheap.
Overall, I'm thrilled with the car and the experience. Very glad I pulled the trigger when I did. Now a couple of photos. Pardon the wacky second shot - I really like the lines of the front 3/4 views. It's a handsome car, if perhaps not as good looking as its sedan siblings:

No the iX is over the $80k threshold. And to make comparisons more Apples to Apples, once you start making upgrades to the iX 50 it quickly outpaces the MXLR in price, even with 10% off MSRP.
But everyone has to find the right deal for their situation, so I don't doubt for some the iX or EQS or Q8 E-Tron is the better or preferred deal.
