How can you tell 2017 Vs 2016? VIN 265xx

How can you tell 2017 Vs 2016? VIN 265xx

By if the VIN has a G or on H in the middle.

Tell me if the 10th digit is a G or an H. If it's easier, just post your entire VIN including the letters and I can explain.

Congratulations @Kincaid !!!! Our long waits are over...Less than 48 hours for me until pick up.

The car does not currently come with the rear trunk floor panel. It will arrive later. I have attached a photo of the trunk cavity without the covering panel. Is it a bit "basic"? Yes. Should anyone care? No. It is of no consequence, and the multi tiered storage is a superb design feature.

The 30 minute mini train tour of the gigantic factory given to those of us picking up the car in Fremont was wonderful. That's followed by a 30 minute video presentation, question and answer, done by a Tesla representative intended to explain how to use the controls on the screen and basic fundamentals on control of the car. Be prepared to listen intently and then spend an hour (days) when you get home figuring it all out on your own. The drive home was an exceptional pleasure. The car drives, handles, and feels better than any car I have ever driven. The acceleration? Amazing. The cornering? Amazing. The suspension and road handling? Amazing. It does not even slightly feel like a car or drive like a car. It feels like a Tesla and drives like a Tesla. I think the fundamental factor that gives the car such a solid. monumentally stable, feel as it moves along the road, at any speed, is the paradigm shifting design of having the heaviest component of the car, the battery pack, at the very bottom and entire length of the middle of the car, instead of stuck up in the air at the front of the car. After driving a Tesla, no one will be able to tolerate a reciprocating piston gas engine mounted in front of them ever again.

As for the issue of waiting so long for the 5 seat configuration? It was completely worth the wait. The cargo capacity of the floor with the rear seats folded down, combined with the storage compartments underneath, make this a true gem of an SUV.

Thank you for the additional images.

Looking at those, I continue to think a vertical panel may be a part of the missing panel setup that will get delivered later.

I have roughly outlined it in grey in this image the vertical panel and in red the horizontal floor panel above:

More speculation here:

Speculation: Model X five seater is missing a panel to hide seat bottoms?

This makes it sound like the attractiveness of the rear seats far outweighs the following:

• electric drivetrain
• supercharger network
• autopilot features
• connected control via app
• neat features such as summon
• autopark
• incredible speed
• clean, modern design
• excellent dash and touchscreen UI
• free LTE connection
• etc

Your not called Pedantic for nothing

Arrived in Fremont for pick up:

Could you set the back floor panel to the lower position and take photos from the front and from the back? Pretty please?

 

[rainforest]

Can someone take a photo of the side view of the rear bench, but standing far back enough that you can see the whole car?

I spoke to the Devon, PA Tesla rep on Friday and he confirmed that the delivery truck just arrived so I will be picking up my Model P100X on Monday afternoon. I will take some pictures of the 5 seater.

 

[lundse50]

Here are my 5 seater pics. You will notice a cavity directly behind the seats. Tesla is sending to me the platform cover for this cavity since the one shipped with the car was deemed not of high enough quality. Not sure of others have had the same issue.

 

[Michelx]

Lundse50 thanks for the pics. did they tell you when you will receive the new platform?

lundse50, could you also post a photo like the second one which was aiming towards the back, but with the rear panel set to the lower position? That's probably the way I would set mine to maximize height and storage space, especially when the seats are not folded.

Thanks to all the 5-ers who have contributed so far.

While we're awaiting ours, could someone look into the seats' anchors under the carpeting to provide a first impression on what it would take to extract the bench completely?

For our purposes, that 3-seat bench is for occasional, short-to mid-distance use only, other than by Aurora & Borealis, and unlike some children...or adults...they know when to Sit! and Stay! without complaining how the seats feel.

A 2-seater P100D? I hope to see some dragstrip videos soon.

About 4 weeks. I will let you know when it arrives.
