Model X Founder Series - Facts

[dadaleus]

I believe if it doesn't say, and the pic shows 7, you have 7. Our's said 6 and showed 6 until our rep changed it for us. Now it shows what you show.

 

[Uncgolf]

Do most people have a VIN# now? (for those that "won" a Founders MX) I do not yet.

 

[andrewket]

Mine says 6, showed 6, and that's what I wanted. Still no VIN, or paperwork showing the actual price.

 

[TheAccuser]

No VIN here yet. Just shows confirmed.

Spoke to Tesla today. No news. Sleep(604800);

haha had to ask cortana to divide by 86,400

 

[g-force]

I don't have VIN yet. Hope we get delivery in Jan?

 

[andrewket]

At this rate, from a timing perspective, the founder's isn't going to reduce my delivery time compared to my early production sequence. Well, that may not be true. We would have likely gone for a 90D instead of the P. So never mind.

Got confirm button 12/2. No VIN, No gone into factory, no sleep, nothin!

 

[Reeler]

Spoke with my delivery specialists and he says "Founder by Referral" (FbR) Model Xes will be delivered after all Signatures and right before general production. I don't have a VIN and don't think and FbR Xes will get one for quite some time. I asked him to guess when that might be and he said Q12016 FWIW.

The "Confirm Now" button showed up on My Tesla today (one day in advance of the auto-confirm).

Model X P90D
. . . Ultra White Seats . . .

You know the white seats are not leather. Pleather. My wife loved the color, but not downgrading to pleather.

That would be the fair and amicable thing to do. One could make an argument that they should be interspersed with general production based on sequence number, but if they are building 100/wk at that point, it wouldn't much matter. Hope it's true!

 

[andrewket]

I agree, delivery after the sigs in each region is fair. It would just be nice - the usual complaint - if tesla would be consistent with the messaging. I was originally told end of Dec was possible, otherwise early Jan. I sincerely doubt all sigs will be delivered by the end of Dec, or early Jan. It would be great to be wrong.

Since (imo) it's nicer than leather, I don't see it as a downgrade. It's like a really fine lambskin, but easier to clean. "Pleather", on the other hand, is that hard plasticky stuff. THAT would be unacceptable.

For what it's worth, that's the messaging I've heard from the beginning. But everyone was so excited over the few that heard differently, it kind of got lost in the noise.

I have't even configured yet. We have six months to configure (if you haven't already). I'm going to thoroughly check out Sig 2 and then confirm Founders after that.

I'm sure they want to finish up Founders along with Sigs - so they can shut down the Sig Red paint and focus on production.

Valid point. Someone else mentioned here that their DS said that the delivery order will be (1) Founders, (2) Signatures, (3) FbR (Founders by Referral), (4) General Production. Not sure where reservation holders outside of the US would fall on this list however.

 

[andrewket]

Ladies and gents, I have a VIN! I will be welcoming home Founder's #53.

 

[dadaleus]

Well look at that! I'm #58!

 

[AnOutsider]

Awesome guys!

 

[Marcus Adolfsson]

Woohoo #55! I am actually glad they build ours after the 1,000 signatures (if that holds), will let them get a few more under their belts.
