Do you call or email your DS? If they are unresponsive call the factory sales line and explain the situation.
Oh, my, I am very sorry...
I wonder if there is still an issue building the 5 seat model.

I wonder if there is still an issue building the 5 seat model.
P90D MODEL X

5 SEAT

*Delivery date has been reschedule to this Coming week
due to weather.
Alas, I have heard the phrase "this coming week" from my Delivery Specialist on two occasions over the last month. In neither case, has the statement been accurate. We are all rooting for you. For perspective, I was advised that my Tesla entered production on November 11. Still no Tesla.
My VIN: FO25813
My VIN: FO25813
I believe he is showing graphics from the emails he received which are more accurate than the "my Tesla" page.
Today's My Tesla Page News: something new and exciting every day. Here is what My Tesla just reported to me this morning:
>>>>>>What's Next?
Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory. Learn about your Tesla. View walkthrough videos.
Transit from the factory? That would be the 1 minute drive from the assembly line in Fremont to the showroom in Fremont.

My Delivery Specialist gave me a call last evening. He provided a translation of the statement provided earlier yesterday by the My Tesla page: the car has been "built" but is sitting in the factory awaiting undelivered seat lever parts for the second row bench seats. Date for arrival of the undelivered parts? Unknown. Maybe this week, maybe next week. They are small parts, related to seating safety issues, and that is what is hiding up deliveries of 5 seat Model X cars.

Good info, thank you.
This explains the many reports (several on this forum) of people seen 5 seaters without the side levers at SCs. They seem to not merely be "adjusting them" (as has been the word so far), but actually waiting for parts too... I guess Tesla decided to use the wait for parts to ship the cars to SCs (to be closer to customers), so that the small parts can be "fedexed in" once available and delivery be made quicker.
A common story with the Model X overall, they are continuing a tradition.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for the post. We can't wait to see the pictures!

My 5 seater was scheduled for delivery 12/8. Got an email that some seat trim pieces are broken and will delay the delivery. Tentatively rescheduled for 12/15. Got an email that parts still not in. Better make it 12/22. I said I wanted to meet with the DS and look at the car to better understand a 2 week repair on a brand new car. He was willing and I saw, sure enough: no levers on the sides of the back seat to release the seat back. Got a call later that the parts are going to Fremont and then be overnighted to the SC. Not sure when: Maybe 12/15-12/18.
Looking at the bench seat I was disturbed to see no fold-down center armrest. I didn't get to sit in them but still, I feel like I will have to apologize to my friends and relations sitting in the back for such a basic seat in a fabulously expensive car. All along, I have feared that the Model X wouldn't hold a candle to my 5 year old Honda Pilot. Initially, it looks like the back seat is an example of that.
No, I don't think there are armrests in the Model X on the second row in any seating version. (Nor are there on the Model S, except on the short-lived four seater.)
The middle-seat does have a different leather pattern than the outside seats on the five-seater, but I guess that is only related to the smaller headrest/smaller middle seat and not to any kind of armrest action.
However, there was a pull-down armrest seven-seater (you can see how the leather pattern is different there too) - as well as the better known fixed six-seater arm rest - prototype/demo seen at the Model X launch in 2015, so Tesla has been toying with this, but not released AFAIK...
This is the seven-seater demo:
And here's the six-seater demo:
My 5 seat Tesla in in transient for pickup. Hopefully, next Thursday. Do we have a 5 seat delivery yet?
