Your X90D got delivered to Florida on 8/4 with a confirm date of 7/7 and a 141xx Vin #? That was fast.
My car is a replacement for one that was damaged post-production (possibly in shipping). I refused the original car and was prepared to forfeit the deposit instead of talking a brand new $100,000+ car repaired by a local shop. Tesla treated me great!

Picked up our Model X today at the Marietta SC. Absolutely flawless car and no issues so far. I had the delivery checklist with me but I don't think I paid any attention to it. Alignment and everything else looks great! I will post some pics soon!

Thanks @XHokie
We have had an amazing couple of days with our Model X. It seems that Tesla has really upped their game in the QA for the new vehicles getting shipped. So far, we have had no problems with the car. Everything seems to be aligned and no nasty door issues so far (again I have only had the car for 2 days ~ 150 miles!).
Here are a couple of observations I have had about the car so far:

Here are a couple of observations I have had about the car so far:
- The panoramic windshield is truly a game changer. It seems that the windshield itself will sell the car once people take a test drive!
- While I did get the sunshade, I am not so sure I will be using it. The tint on the windshield seems to be good enough to block any unnecessary sun/heat.
- The FWDs are fantastic and certainly have a utility value. We have a 3 year old and the FWD makes it easy to put her in the car seat.
- The FWDs are also a crowd magnet. If you don't like attention, avoid opening the doors in public
- The rear view mirror is a joke. However, I guess its adequate when you combine it with the awesome rear facing camera
- Handling and ride is great. I came from owning BMWs for the last 11 years and I think it is almost impossible to beat BMWs when it comes to handling and ride (at least in the price range). The Model X is close (and almost as good)!
- Since I did not opt for the PUP, I dont have ambient interior lighting. This makes the cabin rather dark at night. In hindsight, I think I should have opted for the PUP.
- The 6 seat configuration is awesome and makes it very easy for rear passengers to move between the 2nd and 3rd row. I think it also makes the rear view mirror a little usable
- The UW seats are amazing. Although we have obviously not put them through the standard "3 year old baby mess" tests, I feel confident that the seats would do fine.
- While I was not convinced about getting the car wrapped earlier, I think I am going to do that now for my own sanity
Thanks @XHokie

I keep going back and forth about wrapping. In addition to the cost, my other concern is I don't want to be without my X after I get it! I wish Tesla arranged it themselves so I don't have to pick up the car then give up for a wrap.
Re: interior lighting, a lot of people seem happy with the Abstract Ocean LEDs. I want to get my car before I may order them.

I don't have PUP so I assumed that the vehicle would not be wired for interior ambient lighting. The Abstract Ocean LEDs are a replacement for the dome lights correct? Since I don't currently have ambient lighting, I don't think there is a way to do that post delivery.
From the reviews from X owners, it looks like it's set up the same way as the Model S, so the wiring/blanks are there regardless of PUP. Ultra-Bright LED Interior Light Kit (4 Bulbs)

The PUP interior lighting is not the same as the Abstract Ocean ultra bright kit. Those are about 2"x3" LEDs that illuminate things like the puddle lights, trunk, frunk, under the front seats, etc. The PUP lighting is things like a 1/2"X1/2" LED in the door handle, and an LED strip of some sort in the door under the white part, but above the black.

Thanks, I didn't realize that (I quickly excluded PUP since I didn't want ventilated seats or the self-presenting door, so I didn't look at all the details). That said, I'm still thinking the AO kit would brighten the interior more, right?

As far as I can tell, none of the larger LEDs are on when all the doors are closed. Maybe the ones under the front row seats? But once you open a door, yes the lights under the dash into the footwell, etc. would be brighter with the AO kit.
