Model X Delivery Update

[Lyon]

Wow, cool - can you quote/link? Does he seem reliable? VIN?

It's a closed group so I'm not sure if I can link it but here's his post:

"Got a call:
Tesla Model X Signature will arrive December 29.
Nothing like waiting 3 years for a car.
Tesla told me it would be tilted as a 2015. I said, I want it to be a 2016. 'Well, that's not the way Tesla does it. I then get a call back that all Tesla Model X Signatures will be titled as 2016's."

He says his VIN is 240.

I don't have a clue how reliable he is but he seems like.... well... anyway, here are some screen shots and I'll let folks make their own determinations.

Wow, seems like a dick.

Based on the guy's comments, he doesn't really seem like the typical Tesla owner. I'm guessing his daily driver is a BMW.

Wow, seems like a dick.

Yeah, really. Wow.

Looking at the post it looks like at least 1 other person has also been told of their delivery date.

Yeah, I'm the guy who has been told to keep the week after Christmas free.

Sounds like in typical Tesla fashion they will be waiting until the last possible week to meet their goal of "Model X Signatures will be delivered this year."

 

[MikeC]

Wow, seems like a dick.

Yeah, his follow-up comments seem pretty weird.

 

[Lyon]

Wow, seems like a dick.

That was my conclusion as well.

 

[vandacca]

That was my conclusion as well.

I wonder if it's anyone from TMC? Roamer, Carlk?

I heard that with travel time a signature under 30 should expect delivery in January.

Directly from someone somewhat reliable at Tesla or anecdotally?

Sarcasm.

Direct from a Tesla rep... although not one known for being 'on the ball' sadly.

I've all but given up hope of delivery before the end of he year. Was kinda counting on the tax break this year, but whatayagonado.

I spit my drink onto the screen when I read the comments about Model X costing 5x as much as a Toyota van, then bragging about owning exotic cars, and owning Toyota vans for decades. Couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes! :-D

Really?!

Hmm, does it go by when you pay or when it's delivered? With the S, I had it delivered to my home so it had to be fully paid for before it got on the truck from the factory. Didn't matter since it got here in mid December, but I wonder if it had crossed to January would I have been able to claim for 2012?

When you pay.

Paid in Dec 2012, received in Jan 2013, got to claim the tax credit in 2012 and didn't have to pay excise tax until it was registered.
Best of both worlds.

Beautiful thing! Was pretty excited that it was unfolding that same way for X Sigs ..but looking less and less likely with every passing day. At least they'll be titles as 2016s.

You got the W part right - but it's probably a VW Beetle, or maybe a low emission diesel
