Model X Founder Series - Facts

[JEU]

So, only two wheel options?

 

[AnOutsider]

Badging and exclusivity.

Are there any physical badges? Or just the ones on the screens?

Both, my DS told me there was on the back and on the side blinkers. Guess its the same as signature.

 

[fiksegts]

badges don't make a car exclusive.... I guess the signature red color option is the only difference, would be cool if they had a 'foudners' color as well...

I'm trying to figure out what to do about the hitch. Accessory vs. tow.

Is there a disadvantage to the tow hitch? I figured the only reason not to do it was cost, but we get it for free.

I have been trying to find a picture of what it looks like when the hitch is removed. I found a picture of the cover for the accessory hitch, but not sure if the 2" hitch cover looks the same.

anybody else unable to configure or am I the only being told tomorrow day after day? I only had 11
referrals maybe they are taking highest number of referrals first?

ah right, the S had stenciling on the back accent plate and the side markers. I was thinking more like P90D type badging.

They have not replaced my Signature configuration with the Founders one yet.

At the moment my config includes the tow hitch because the receiver is removable. It does not appear the accessory hitch is removable. I'd prefer to not see it when not in use.

Where did you see a reference or picture to a cover for the accessory hitch?

Thanks for the link. I missed that thread. The fact that there is a cover for the accessory hitch puts it back into consideration. But since the tow package is a no additional cost item on the founder's series I'm still leaning that way. If I was buying a production car I'd get the accessory hitch.

Oh yeah, forgot to add the "F" in the vin too. ;-)

Founders #13 found a new home yesterday (twitter, with pics).
Chamath Palihapitiya enjoy!

g-force, I am still waiting as well to configure. I had 11 referrals too.

 

[Bifff67]

I too got call Wed with suggestion I might be able to configure later that day. Nothing. Nothing today. Very painful. Anybody know how many "Referral Founders" there are?

I am able to configure - but as part of that, they transferred a general production $5k deposit over to the Founders. Is it possible they might still need to talk to you re: deposit? Or have you done the same?

Bonnie does your My Tesla show the proper Founders Edition pricing etc? First they enabled configuration of my production reservation (in the 13k range), then deleted that order and added a Signature configuration, and then finally called on Wednesday and said they were going to cancel the Signature order and add a Founder configurator (still waiting).

I was told to just ignore the pricing. But it does show as a Founders on my configurator. I don't expect to see the pricing sheets redone just for a nominal amount of reservations.

Thanks! Neither did I but my sales rep implied earlier in the week that pricing would be updated. I just double checked and while it shows as a Signature model on the dashboard, once you click into the configuration it shows as Founders (same as yours). I am sure the MVP will be correct.
