Here's hoping Tesla either considers this "Fixed"or changed their mind with all Model X to have a retractable spoiler even for the 75d non pup.

That is why "you" don't want a sunshade, I see that dust is sufficient at blocking your windshield.

Dude, yer right. I saw an in-between position on the Freeway today. Upright gives max viewing out, but that aero tilts down slightly and noticeably blocks some rear view (no complaints though), that's how I noticed it.

It's possible the "non-active" spoiler is coming sooner than later. The design studio car images now only show the spoiler retracted when viewing a P90D. (I don't think it did this before?)

I think the word fixed is misleading, I cannot believe that when you park the spoiler would stay in the up position at all times. Even on the 90 and 75 it should go into position when driving and retract when parked.

Retracted on which version? Right now the image shows not-retracted on the 90D and 75D, and retracted on P90D.
And if that's the case, there's no excuse not to add the third aero position.
If Tesla keeps the wording on the configuration page and plans to make good on it, the only option is a spoiled fixed in the upright position. More than likely, they're just change the phrasing on the configuration page and keep the motorized spoiler on all models.

It has been this way since day one of the design studio. Yes, I've had access since day one.
Oops... I meant not retracted on my design for a 90D. My spoiler has 3 position as far as I can tell. Down, all the way up and 45+ goes down to a set point. None of which I would consider an active spoiler.

That's as active as it gets. What do you want it to do? Flap to provide extra propulsion?

I just think that the P model probably has an active spoiler that adjust to every speed where the 90D/75D spoiler is limited to 3 positions. I really wish my X didn't have a spoiler at all cause it's ugly in my opinion.

This isn't the case. Those with P90Ds have reported identical behavior to the 90Ds. That's what Tesla calls "active".

This would be considered fixed as it does not move or retract back much like the subaru sti.
There's really no denying it. If Tesla called the spoiler fixed while the other is active. It can only really mean that the spoiler does not move electronically/manually and is stationary.

As ohmman states, 3 position is how my MX 90D works. Within a minute or so above 40mph, it drops into "aero", which is about 30deg down (fixed) from horizontal, which is where it goes from "closed" when starting the car.
