Model X 5 Seat Deliveries

[AnxietyRanger]

I agree, I do not think the @Bjoris photographed car has flat lower floor level.

@MP3Mike fair point. Though notably @Bjoris claims this is fixed in place. Maybe best keep an open mind before we see more of these.

Still, something odd about @beths11 not having the floor cargo hooks and others having them...

 

[dark]

Mine doesn't have the hooks, and I am still wondering why.

 

[Jrogville]

Yeah, that's definitely not flat.

Would you agree at least that this is a different panel than the rear panel used at the upper level? It's not wide enough to read those tabs for support. I had assumed that those flat areas to the right and left of the lower well storage were on the same level as the forward lower floor. But perhaps they aren't. I think this setup probable comes close to eliminating the open gap to that well storage area.

 

[beths11]

To me the most interesting thing about @Bjoris' photo is that he has a floor panel that actually fits the rear well area with no gaps for things to roll backward into that lowest area as we've seen before. You end up with a perfectly flat lower floor! The upper rear floor panel is too wide to be able to sit into the recess at the rear well storage area. In this photo, you see the seam to the right and left where the correct cover for the well area sits. I definitely want this panel for my car and will keep this photo to be able to show the delivery specialist if my car doesn't have it. I wonder when the 5-seater will get delivered consistently the same?

@Bjoris does not show us any pictures with both the forward and the rear panel in place. My floor is perfectly flat with both panels installed. It also looks like @Bjoris has gaps on either side of the vertical support piece directly behind his seats. Mine a flush with the sides of the car. Definitely two different solutions.

I don't know anymore. I'm super confused now after looking at all the pictures again.

 

[PedanticOne]

Oh! I get it now. Phew. Yeah, what @beths11 said!

Can you post a picture here of yours without the panels installed?

 

[Jrogville]

Could @anthonymack, who posted this photo, or anyone else that has taken delivery of the 5-seater, tell me if the two areas labeled "B" are on the same level with the area labeled "A"? I'm trying to make sense of the Norway photos.

Interesting question but irrelevant as far as my car is concerned. With both rear panel(at it's highest position) and front panel (at it's only position, the floor is level. With the front panel removed and the rear panel at it's lowest position there is a gap between the front edge of the rear panel and section "A". It does create a flat surface but not as much room as when both panels are installed. This is because the forward panel sits on top of the 2" wide vertical support at the base of the second row. Without the front panel the vertical piece reduces your length by two inches.

Is that clear as mud?

Thank you for the added info as always.

What I think people are planning is this: if A and B are on the same level as it seems, removing both front and rear panels from the car, and adding a new smaller panel to cover the rear compartment that would sit flush with level A would make for a deep yet flat trunk.

It seems like the lower rear compartment could support such a new cover with those lower-than-A/B level sides it has that are currently not used by any cover...

 

[Bjoris]

Bjoris, is this your car, or one you were able to see? Do you know about when it was delivered? I'm wondering if it's very recent. As I mention in the post above, I'm interested in the panel it has that actually fits and perfectly covers the rear deeper storage area, giving you a flat lower floor. I wonder if all the X's being delivered to Norway have this panel.

Sadly not mine, it was in the shop waiting for the lever on the side of the seats. Not sure if the rest came with the car or separat, the part just behind the seats was loose...

I also posted a picture I found on the Norwegian Facebook group for Model X (but Norwegian one) so sorry about the confusion!

At the lower level floor is not flat and there is also open space down to the wel... As I wrote earlier we need a third floor panel over the well, then it also will be flat on the lowest level... I will make this myself if Tesla does not deliver. As you see in the picures there are spaced out to be a floor panel here also, but I guess Tesla found that they could not have 3 loose panels back there

My pictures does not show with flat second row due to missing lever and sidepanel of the seats. This is why this two cars where not delivered before YearEnd!

Have you all by the way seen this videos, it is of the same car I guess. I note that even with the pice behind the seats in place it it not a perfect "flat" match in upper posision ... AND, it seems to me that the american cars does not get hooks in the trunk then... Also missing in this one, if this is not the same as pictures earlier in the tred came from?

 

[AnxietyRanger]

Frankly a smaller lower rear lever cover would be useful in six/seven seaters as well. It would allow using three levels of the trunk.

I hope Tesla or someone makes a lower rear compartment cover (that sits flush with A/B levels). It seems Tesla did design for it but never made that piece...

Yes, I see, you would get a deeper, but shorter storage area. I may be way off base, but don't you think I could load section "A" (thinking of my trips for South to North and visa versa) equal in height with the vertical support, then place the front panel on top? In the same way I will load the rear well up to the level of the rear panel in it's top most position. Now I have stuff packed and a level floor to start all over again and it sits flush with the folded seats giving me a very large flat space to continue packing.

 

[AnxietyRanger]

^ If I understand correctly, yes with that third cover for the rear lower area one could effectively have three flat sections of the trunk (of different dimensions):

1) Rear lowest trunk covered by the new hypothetical cover

2) Middle level formed by the new cover as rear floor and 5-seater storage compartment area continuing the flat area forwards (height limited to the panels above) - this would useful for 6/7 seaters too though of course much smaller

3) Current trunk panels on top of these for a flat top level trunk

Yes, I can see the value to using the multiple levels as separation, especially when you perhaps have something more fragile that the floor panel would let you isolate. In that scenario, probably that smaller floor panel for the rear that I'm looking for would not even be necessary. My interest in having a flat lower floor is that this is the condition I would use the most. I don't believe I will need the longer less height condition very often, so I would likely leave those floor panels at home all time.

Any cyclists amongst the 5-seat owners? Has anyone tried fitting a bike inside, standing upright, wheel off?
See this picture for an example of what I mean. I have a 'like' to give in exchange.

So no one that has taken delivery of a 5-seater has answered this. Are those A and B areas on the same level, or is one slightly higher than the other?

Here is an interim report on the 5 seat missing floorboards (except for beths11) blues schedule: I was contacted today by the service manager at the Fremont service center. The report was that the floor boards had yet to arrive, but they would receive them in Fremont within the next 10 days. When I inquired about how it was possible that some 5 seat Model X vehicles in alien, remote, and inaccessible places like Oregon had their 5 seat Model X delivered with a complete floor board configuration, the response was that a few dealers nationwide had prototype floor boards for the 5 seat Model X and installed them in new deliveries as a courtesy to the new owners. A stretch of an explanation? Favoritism? Payoffs involved?
Alas, who knows? I am told that my 5 seat Model X was number 2 delivered at the Fremont factory, and will be number 2 to get the floorboards when they arrive there. I have some suspicions that some 5 seat Model X vehicles currently being delivered at Fremont may get those elusive items before I actually do. Do I care?
Nope. Not a bit. Do I even care we can't use autopilot yet? Nope.
This car is a sheer pleasure to drive. Number of times I have had to charge up at home? Zero. The location of Superchargers around here seems tailored to where I go. Number of times I have zoomed up to 100 mph? A few, but mostly I cruise around at modest speeds. It's fun knowing that if for any reason I need suddenly to accelerate from 45 up to 90, I can get there in about 1.5 seconds as smoothly as a Lear jet. It's an absolutely wonderful car.

@Kincaid ". A stretch of an explanation? Favoritism? Payoffs involved?" Favoritism for sure I hope we meet some day.

I knew it !! I love Oregon, especially Hood River and Mt. Hood.
