I'm taking delivery of my 5-seater within a week. Will post pictures of the area behind the seats.

Very disappointing update on 5 seat Model X cargo flooring panels woes:
"We unfortunately are still working on that refreshed version and unfortunately don’t have an ETA."
... and there is no sight anywhere of the "redesigned", "refreshed" flooring panels in any car.
As I've posted previously my 5 seater X was delivered Dec 22, 2016, with 2 floor panels & the slanted board behind the 2nd row. Am I to assume from the above, that my X 5 seater is not the final version?

Ditto, but I've never used that space yet......mine is an early build.ME too
I of course agree that the still unique mix of large battery and long-range enabling charging network is a decided advantage for Tesla. Their focus on those strategic elements has been admirable, while their competition has fiddled their fingers. I would also add one thing: Tesla's constant software updates are a great, unique tool. Too bad Tesla has wasted their time on unnecessary diversions like the falcon wings and monoposts, but no doubt, those strategic advantages still remain...
Indeed, that is one of the issues of this move: five seater is clearly the preferred choice of people with dogs. Yet they can not get trunk ventilation. Everyone knows how hot the Model S jumpseats can get and I guess that is quite comparable to the Model X five-seater... Tesla could have at least unbundled the third-row AC booster/ventilation from the seating configuration by making it included in the 6/7 seater and a price option for the five-seater, but no...
Personally, I prefer the practicality compromises of the six seater compared to the visual and functional downgrade of the five-seater. Model X is a beautiful car and the bench, as it stands and ships, just doesn't quite mesh with it all for me. But its capacity of course is very good. It is a rather big trade-off, no doubt, whichever way you go.
Will do. We took the car straight to the detail shop to have XPEL and OptiCoat PRO+ Should get it back tomorrow for more photo fun!
I'll leave it to others who already have their X's to give you the more authoritative information, but in the meantime I'll give you my observations from looking at photos that others have posted. I was actually thinking about the location of the 2nd row seat in relation to the door opening the other day.If possible, would one of you new 5-seater owners be willing to post pics or better a short video clip of getting into the rear seat? I'm curious what hand holds will work best, etc.
Reason being I'm going to be transporting my soon to be 89-yr old mother who is recovering from a broken hip and am hoping entry/exit won't be too difficult/taxing for her (and me!). I'm planning to order this July/August.
Thanks if you can

Nice posts @essmd, appreciate them.
Appreciate the ongoing dialogue...good to find intelligence on theses forums, not always prevalent.
As for the AC in Model S vs. Model X, I believe the latter still has additional, higher up vents on the second row in the five-seater, whereas Model S only has the middle vents (and I guess under seat vents) so certainly that, added with the higher level of rear tinting and a bit steeper rear window could mean five-seater Model X is cooler back there than Model S is. Also Model S jumper seats are kind of extreme in their placement... a folded second row would give the dogs a much larger area to lounge around in hopefully in comfort... (Of course this benefit possibly offset a little by the larger Model X front window in the front for very hot regions.)
I definitely understand the practicality aspect of the five-seater. It clearly is superior unless hauling tons of kids all the time. I think you have done your research and once you confirm those little details, will be making a good choice for yourself.

There is nothing to hold on to other than the head rests of the front seats.
The door is wide open though, and the car isn't very high. I'm guessing there should be no problem getting into the car.
