Design Studio Opens Monday

Maybe we need to start a "Tesla Buyers Guide" site like MacRumors does. They originally started because Apple used to update the Mac randomly and unannounced. People were getting upset when they bought a mac computer and Apple updated it a couple of weeks later. So they created their Buyers Guides to try and help people time when it was a good idea to buy a Mac computer vs waiting based on industry rumors, etc.

In that case wait until the 100D an P100D come out to buy a model x

Here is the issue. I do not against Tesla to improve its hardware in any way. But it's just too close of a refresh cycle for Model X to upgrade to 100D at this moment. If we do create a buyer guide like how Mac rumors does it, how can they warn buyers when new and upgraded time only 2 month? This is way too soon to get a refresh especially for a 100K car. Sure you can argue its 2012 model, sure you can argue its already out since Sep 2015, but how many? Tesla just ramping up its production now and an upgrade at the same time? Bad timing is what I meant. Give early adaptors at least 6 month to 1 year to at least justify the purchase. Hopefully I made myself clear and some people would agree. Peace!

Great idea, this can be added to the forum

I don't know how minimized the complain will be, but I am sure one super upset customer! I do not care about price increase, only about the max capability of the Model X money can buy. If they indeed increase to 100D. This makes my model X no longer max capable without even drivin for 200 miles. I will be super super mega mad!

Cool it Boy. Rumors aren't worth blowing an blood vessel over.

You guys totally jacked this thread, and it no longer has anything to do with the Design Studio opening...which, by the way, for anyone following, still hasn't happened.

This is surely a problem with Tesla's frequent upgrades instead of a yearly or semi-annual schedule. For other car makers, the buyer knows a new model is coming months ahead, and the older models are discounted near the end to compensate the buyers. Not Tesla. You pay top dollars and get stuck with a beta car.

At least, you have some chance to return the car under Lemon law and order the latest one again. How many days is your car sitting in the SC now?

I think it has been 2 weeks and 4 days now. Will see if I can pick up on Tuesday as promised. The reason why it took so long is because the body was damaged due to failed door and unpainted section under the FWD. Those required body shop to take care of it. Took a bit longer than usual.

So this design studio is open to anyone with the internet? Or just reservation holders?

not yet to everyone..it probably would soon

 

[Ulmo]

To me it appears as if the configurator did not open Monday, and was replaced with the Model X back seat recall announcement.

 

[flankspeed8]

Even after the S "refresh" the X page still shows "Reserve" rather than order.


edit: now it looks like the design studio went live. Good stuff.

The main page still says Reserve, but if you go directly to the link above you can see the design studio.

 

[CmdrThor]

High amerage charger upgrade is not hidden and is $1,500.

75D range is 237 miles. 90D costs an extra $10,000 + $2,500 for required active suspension.

New Model S front end! It matches the X now. Sorry, drifted off topic, but the site is changing...

 

[Kbra]

I'm impressed they are already open to regular orders with next month delivery. A lot of those reservations must have canceled and demand is low. I love the tech they added but the physical design is meh IMHO. I know i'm not the only one with that thought...

 

[CmdrThor]

Probably need to change the thread title to be accurate since my thread was merged here. 75D and new base price is now buried in this thread that went way off topic.

 

[ABCCBA]

Just noticed that you can no longer Reserve a Model X from the teslamotors.com website. All it offers now is 'Stay Updated'.

Just go to Model X Design Studio | Tesla Motors

Just refreshed a few seconds ago. Checking to see if any options have changed...

Ooh, looks like I was right about a 75D!
