Major 2021 Model X refresh pending [Update: Unveiled January 27, 2021]
- Thread starter Nuclear Fusion
- Start date
Sound like Model Y upgrade battery for me. Because size almost the same.
Size (most important reason for family with kids), nicer interior, 2 screens, longer range, quieter (?), 2nd row captains chairs, more storage, etc.
I am surprised anyone would think the only difference between the X and the Y are the FWD.
The issue is the X is way to expensive for most families. If they can save a lot of costs and weight by using regular doors than a lot more families would purchase the X over a 3 row ICE vehicle. I know I would be one of them. Kills me to buy an ICE vehicle right now but the X is way too pricey and there are currently no other EV options. I will be keeping an eye on the VW 3 row SUV that is suppose to be released in 2022...but I would rather have a Tesla.
The size is most definitely not almost the same. I am starting to think you are just messing with us. Also, the 3rd row 7 seat option is a joke for the Y.
Model X: 11" longer , 3" wider, and with 20 cubic feet of more cargo volume than the Y. Not even close.
This is objectively not true. You're also ignoring the many other differences MorrisonHiker pointed out.
And good luck fitting into the Model Y 3rd row if you're taller than 4ft. I'm sure you'll volunteer to sit in that MY third row for a road trip since you're so confident about it.

I must admit i agree with the comments that 4680s not likely in updated Model X. Just not enough 4680s in production yet for MX to get them too. but, I do think Kim Java makes alot of good points about the FWDs and she has more experience with them than just about anybody. And i used to own a 2017 MX and have test driven an MY, and as far as i am concerned there are a ton of differences between the two cars. Since the employees return on Jan 11 i am assuming Tesla will have to make some kind of announcement by then, since once all the employees are back it will be hard to keep things secret any longer...

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
This. They have been doing this forever at this time of the year. They would also shift production for different markets too.

Ok, I don't know if I've jinxed the refresh or not but I've put in a reservation for an X. I'm ready!

Rounded the corner today and saw this beautiful baby, which happens to be mine, sitting next to average joe blow vehicle, and was again renewed in how fortunate I feel to be boarding this space ship. I can’t convey how utterly futuristic this 3 year old car still looks to my eyes. No need to “refresh” anything on the exterior IMHO.

I said seats 7 comfortably.

The 3rd for in the X is already tight for an adult and being a foot shorter, the 3rd row in the Y will be unusable for anyone over the age of 6.

Beautiful! What wheels and tires are you running? How do they do in the winter?

By 'exterior' I think he was speaking of the design as such. Of course there's room for details to be improved.
- ccs charge port (EU)
- lights
- better, non rattling tech. (if you count that as 'outside')

You also forgot better display layout with actual dashboard, better performance, more head room, more shoulder room, more towing capacity, better stereo, self presenting/closing doors, and heated steering wheel. The X is better in pretty much every aspect except price.

Yes, today. Also, the order page is still showing 8-12 weeks delivery which would now put at as late as the beginning of April. For that much time, there must be something big going on.

Stock 20” wheels and tires, just powder coated. Despite the snow in the picture, I only take this one out when roads are clear. I did get caught off-guard for the first time last month, though, finding myself on a narrow, steep unplowed street (gotta love Pittsburgh streets.) It wasn’t pretty, but I got down it without incident. Would not recommend these all seasons for those conditions!

They should definitely re-think the rear footwell space same way as has been done in some competitors, to give better support in the rear for longer trips (more of an issue on the Model S).
Congratulations!! You’ll love it.
Now on the delay - yes and no. That still puts us in the March timeframe. Typically the first 2 months of each quarter there’s a heavy focus on getting overseas deliveries done, and then a large push domestically. I suspect (no data, just a guess) that we’ll see the S/X assembly line open again in the next week or two, and then once builds start, the overseas ones go first. So I’d still expect to see yours in March ... they’re going to want every delivery possible in Q1 on whatever the S/X refresh is all about.
