Model X December Deliveries
- Thread starter HookBill
- Start date
Ugh...I'm scared to ask which location. Something seems odd with mine too but at this point, I'm used to it. Like you, I don't get off on being a prick to people who really don't have much control over what's going on anyway. I just let my wife throw the fits (to me privately), stayed cool with the Tesla team and they made it clear that they appreciated my patience. I got an email stating that the vehicle was here, got a phone call from my DS saying that it was just about there BUT MyTesla is saying "Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory". I don't know what to believe but I all I ask is that it be ready on 12/27 as promised...and for those doors on the passenger side to line up
Your experience and the issues related to your car are really concerning, and absolutely unacceptable! I cannot believe that Tesla has the audacity to be shipping these cars at this point in the game
I agree.
Also, those pictures also demand that I declare my hatred for everyone with a tall garage. ;-) I have post & beam construction and I have two lovely beams where the doors would open up. This is not going to end well. I need to pad them or something in preparation. Or park.... OUTSIDE
Today was delivery day! Everything looks good on the car. The FWDs lined up nicely at the handles, slightly off at the roof line, but not by much.
Surprised how loud the car is from the outside when the climate control is on. Very minor ghosting at night. Overall satisfied with the purchase so far. Going to suck to drop it off for xPel for the next 8 days!

My vin is 19K. I ordered it back in August and as soon as it confirmed they issued my vin. I delayed the order until Nov hoping to get 2.0. Mission accomplished!!!! I find it hard to believe that mine would be any different than the rest of them that were built at the same time. They were mostly all above 22K when mine hit the line. Someone thought the difference was the curved area on the left and right side of the 3rd row down by your feet. I believe it was curved on pre 22K and straight on post 22K. I'll check mine in the morning.

Got an actual phone call today from our delivery specialist in response to an email I fired off to them yesterday expressing my concern the car will not be delivered by years end. (Ordered 10 months ago... Feb 26th...) We planned on applying the $7500 Fed Tax Credit for the 2016 tax year and my concern is the car will not be delivered in time. DS tells me there is a work around... worst case, if car (MX 75D, grey/white, 6 seat, winter, tow, AP 2.0) doesn't arrive by years end we can sign everything so we are eligible for 2016 tax credit and take delivery in early 2017. We are located in San Diego and vehicle was estimated to be delivered in late November too early December. Not sure when it went into production... How do you find that info? I don't watch or care much about "My Tesla" website. Is that info on there? Curious how long our car is/was in production.
@abikepeddler You might want to check with your accountant on that before you do it. One of the conditions of the credit is putting the car into service in the year you take the credit. (And I think their definition of that is getting the car titled in your name.)
Then ask yourself this question: "Do I want to accept delivery of my car and get it titled in my name before I have even seen it?" What happens if the car gets massive hail damage in-transit? The car is yours, so I assume you would need to file a claim against your insurance policy as I doubt Tesla's policy covers cars that are no longer theirs. What if the car has lots of imperfections and you would have rejected delivery and asked for a new car? Too late, it is already yours.
I was going to say the same thing. Big risk. And you lose any leverage you might have had if you fork over the cash for something you don't have in hand.

That is an excellent point. I will check with both my CPA as well as with DS. Don't want to expose myself to unnecessary financial burdens such as you described. I also don't want to give up the planned $7500 tax credit for 2016 but your point is well taken. The risk may not be worth it in the end.... I can always apply the tax credit to 2017 tax year....

Hopefully they will both get here soon...

for all-weather they look nice. Guess, I won't be getting them if they won't fit my vin though.

My driver side fwd aligns perfectly with the driver side door, the passenger side fwd and passenger door not so much. Sigh
Apologies, I'm a newbie.
60D, white, and white int., 6 seat, Enhanced AP 2.0, Cold weather, Air susp., towing. Winter tires on the way, eh!
Having fun in the snow. Its amazing, cannot wait for the winters, then I'll be unstoppable.
Hoping for some software updates in the near future.
Happy Holidays,

THE LONG RANGER
I am also from San Diego and my car has been in production for 13 days now... who is your DS? Mines Jackie and she said she's confident that it'll get delivered before Christmas but I'm not too sure now.... you should check my Tesla and it should tell you if it's in production or not... Maybe Model X is having issues coming to San Diego? Apparently there's someone picking up delivery this Friday in the model S section...

Interesting observation about My Tesla statuses versus e-mails versus what the DS has been communicating. I got an e-mail back on 11/30 saying production was complete and it stayed in production complete on My Tesla up until today (12/15). Now the vehicle says "Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory". The delivery timeframe also updated - showing a range that is about a week earlier (went from 1/4 to 12/28 at the high end range). DS also confirmed today my vehicle was in transit - new delivery date of 12/22 scheduled (from 12/15 originally).
Reason I bring this up is the DS also mentioned a new process - the cars are now inspected and fixed up at the factory versus happening at the SC. My current theory is the following happens:
Order placed - e-mail sent
Order confirmed - e-mail sent
"In Production Queue" (on My Tesla) - e-mail sent with VIN
"In Production" (on My Tesla) - e-mail sent
"Production Complete" (not listed on My Tesla) - e-mail sent (DS extrapolates delivery date based on this)
Vehicle inspected at factory before transit - no e-mail sent (timeframe TBD based on how the inspection/fixes go)
"...in transit from the factory" (on My Tesla) - no e-mail sent
???
Profit!
Can anyone else back this up? Pretty sure that is what happened to my car - if that is the case it isn't that the status on "My Tesla" is out of date (per the jokes on this thread), but it may just not show every step in the process.

3 more referrals to get to 10? Also do you know all the people that have used your Referral or was Tesla able to help you out as new orders rolled.
