Wow--that's crazy and I can't imagine how much it costs to transport an SUV by plane. I would guess this is motivated both to limit your tax burden and to maximize quarterly delivery numbers.

@XHokie Great experience... you don't get any free stuff like other folks did. (but hey - I was there for the car). Your Delivery Specialist (mine was Jessica) turns you over to a delivery coordinator for the detail run thru and paperwork. That was Dan for my delivery he was great and very knowledgeable... given that TMC members are spending all of our pre-delivery time learning about the X! TYCO has three delivery bays behind the main showroom. They were doing two X deliveries and one S when I was there. I got there 45min early (didn't know how traffic would be coming in from Richmond) and they were fine with it. I waited maybe 10 min and was able to start. They had no problems with using the check list and I did not feel pressured at all.

I was able to purchase the flat tire repair kit while I was there. Since I live more than 50 miles (50 miles is flat tire tow range - it's 500 miles for mechanical) I figured it was a good investment.
I did try to purchase autopilot while I was there (didn't pre-order because it had just come out) but there was some confusion.. In the end it turns out I will order it online and then the tech has to do the initial software load when they come down to Richmond. Seems the initial load is too big to do totally wireless.

Thanks for the additional detail! My pick up there might be this week, or two weeks from now.
Picked up our Red X at Tyco on the 16th @ 3pm. Fully wrapped (including edges) in Suntek by 11PM. Perfect fit and finish. Took it on a 500+ mile road trip -- AC compressor cut out 2x on the first part of the trip -- hard reset to reboot. Hasn't cut out since... SC is going to check it out but I suspect it was a "break in" issue... Now we are a 100% electric family, as our X joins the S.

Congratulations.
Good to see another Red one. Mine coming in a few days (3 but who is counting). Perhaps they batched a bunch of Red ones.

There was a Red P being delivered Sat here. You will have a 'twin' driving around somewhere in the area.
I just go a call from Tesla, I will be picking up my Model X Friday in Orlando. ---Much sooner than I guessed.

DS is Jessie, and I will definitely post more after I've taken delivery.
Going to have it wrapped in Chantilly by Dave, TLC Detail is the name of the place, I think.

Picked up my Premium 90D Vin 55XX on Friday in Fremont! What a great experience! The customer service and walkthrough+tour was amazing for me and my friends. A few minor issues on alignment of the rear side window frames. Some scuffs here and there, but really no complaint as of yet! Love the car! Got my goodie bag and sun visor. Fixed spoiler 
. Waiting for my call to bring the X in for the stuff we annotated at delivery. The car is amazing, but honestly I left thinking what a great company it was and how all dealerships/companies should make people feel the same after buying a car.
I agree with the advice certain people are saying when picking up...enjoy the experience...I didn't want to leave! Thank you to all for all the great advice and posts! Happy to help anyone I can as well! The car/experience helped me feel a little better after Game 7...
Hope the other June deliveries and beyond have as much fun as I did at delivery!!!
PS Yes we took the obligatory FWD pose as well... :?

DS emailed me today!

Your Model X has actually just completed production, and will be ready for you very soon. How does your schedule look early next week?
-----------------------
it entered production on 11th. I seems like they are shipping to oregon this week. DS ask my schedule early next week! Sounds like they are not going to do a final inspection? or just a one night inspection and deliver to me??

Congrats--the joy in these pictures is obvious. Wish I could pick up at the factory, too, but looking forward to the experience without that part. Enjoy!

Congratulations... getting mine xpel wrapped tomorrow.... hate to be parted from it.. but it's just one day...
Mine is going to take 4-5 days! But it is a full wrap, and window tint, and seat backs, so I guess that's reasonable? I did say better to take his time and get it perfect... Are you doing a full wrap on yours?
