Yes!Do you guys think they will honor the price of the current X for the redesign if it costs more if we order now?

it is possible that they would redesign the chassis so that a new pack for the new cells would fit, but not yet use the new cells They may use 18650s inside of a pack the correct size, while they wait for the production of the batteries to increase to the point where they can use them properly. Shoot, they may even keep that configuration and only use the new cells for the plaid version.
I don't think they need to worry about the structural pack idea with these cars. The S and the x. They're large enough that the weight penalty is not enough to warrant a rework of the body design to that degree.
The battery pack is more than a big empty metal box to hold the cells. It wouldn't be trivial to put 18650's into a pack designed for 4680's - they would have to redesign the entire BMS to accommodate the different cells and their different layout. It's probably not worth it for them to put all that effort in to use old battery cells on a new structure. IMO it's going to be all or nothing - either a complete refresh to the 4680 cells, or keep the existing battery pack. I don't see how it makes sense for them to do anything in between.

That would be awesome! That's one of the things I really like about the Model 3. Although, the keyfob on the X actually more useful than other cars because you can open/close the falcon wing doors too with it. It's nice to start opening the falcon wing door as you're walking up so that it's fully open by the time you get there.Tesla Model S & Model X 'service key' code spotted in firmware
Handsfree phone unlocking may also hint at a refresh, since new Bluetooth hardware would be required
You contemplating pulling the trigger if a refreshed X comes out? Selfishly I'm hoping so since we would likely get more videos. Haha.That would be awesome!

Yes, I've been anxiously awaiting a refreshed Model X! I'm ready to pull the trigger on it once they update the interior. I'd also love some more range and the phone as a key feature, but those aren't complete deal breakers for me. I'm trying to keep my expectations low. haha.You contemplating pulling the trigger if a refreshed X comes out? Selfishly I'm hoping so since we would likely get more videos. Haha.
While your desire to put off delivery until you see the results of the holiday shutdown, there will continue to be even more improvements rolling out after you take your delivery in January.
FOMO is strong with forum readers.
More videos please!Yes, I've been anxiously awaiting a refreshed Model X! I'm ready to pull the trigger on it once they update the interior. I'd also love some more range and the phone as a key feature, but those aren't complete deal breakers for me. I'm trying to keep my expectations low. haha.
I actually bought a Model 3, but never really had time to create any videos. Life kind of got in the way (kids, work, etc). Hopefully I'll be able to find the time to start making content again. I do miss it.

Congrats! Seats?Whelp we are locked in on a dual motor grey with 8 to 12 weeks delivery. I wonder what will change!!! Now the waiting begins. Will be interesting to see what happens with price as well
I wish the rear seats were easily removable. We have two 130 pound Pyrenees/Bernese mixes, and it turns out they do not fit in the X. We ended up keeping our VW Tiguan as a dog hauler. Kind of a blessing in disguise, I guess, as the X remains free of fur.7 seats. We have two greyhounds that are 80 pounds each. So each of them gets their own row basically.

Isn't that an issue only with the 6-seater, in which the 2nd row seats don't fold flat?
