If you need more, enjoy Motel 6, they are always there 24/7 to help you get the rest you really need.

I'm taking delivery of my Model X this week & will start experimenting with this idea (Hotel Tesla in a Model X). My first thought is to move the 2nd-row seats all the way forward, place large pieces of luggage in the gap in between the 2nd & 3rd row of seats then place an inflatable mattress on top.

I am fully aware that this might not create a usable sleeping space but I am going to take this idea as far as it can go.

I will probably note the differences between 6 & 7 seat configurations in regards to space.

Don't forget about the sunshade...you can't sleep when the sunshines on your eyes

Speaking of sleep, what am I doing here at 4:23 AM??

The prototype Model X had foldable seats in the second row (on screen):

Thanks for the reminder.

As if I could ever forget...

I find it amazing they took deposits for this and delivered something that doesn't do this.

took deposits

Not happy about that change, but for the record they were refundable deposits until you actually made the order.

Per the reservation agreement, Tesla was not even obligated to build and sell *any* Model Xs. The Model X they did delivery is more useful to me than the prototype. I know some others' personal situation is not the same, but the deposit was not binding at all.

Besides non-folding seats there was more room behind the third row seats in the prototype
(go to minute 20:55 youtu.be/u0I7dByeTt4?t=1255 )
I understand the prototype was on a longer wheelbase than the current S and X and maybe that’s where we lost that capacity.
If they had shown the car I have now I would have loved it and still ordered it. The prototype did have more useable space so there is a bit of disappointment but I still love it.

Ok, I'm finally coming up for air after almost 2 months and 5k miles driven on my Model X.

I've been doing some testing on sleeping in the model X. I purchased a small collapsable stool from Dick's Sporting goods for $10 & a slim twin size mattress.

I'm 6'7". This where my legs come to...

It worked better than I imagined. my feet didn't wobble or fall off to one side.

I see I'm not the only one thinking about sleeping in a Model X. Our Good friend Bjørn has tried it too with a box.
