You are "THE SUNSHADE CAPTAIN" nothing less expected...
Here is a photo of the sunshade Tesla gave my yesterday when I picked up my MX.

Congratulations! Sounds like a fantastic drive to get in sync with your new X! Those are some gorgeous roads for sure.Yippy, after three years, we have our X! We picked it up in San Rafael and our first drive was a 2500' climb to the top of Mt. Tamalpais. Then after a stop over in Muir Woods National Monument, we drove 2.5 hours home.... all on one charge! Our orientation specialist, Ian, was awesome and gladly spent the two hours necessary to allow us to closely inspect the vehicle. The only issues were a small glob of tinting material on the FWD skylight (which was included as a service item on the due bill), a couple trim panels that were loose (and easily pressed into place, and small spots of adhesive residue on the wheels (easily removed). We got the 'free' active spoiler (which was not ordered), but did not get the gratis bioweapon filter (darn!). Ian said that Tesla will be including active spoilers on all X's, because it is too expensive to retool to not include them.
So far everything is great with the X, except within a few miles of home some nut job came around a corner and forced my wife into a large muddy puddle on the shoulder coating the entire car in mud and grit
No sunshade, but we were provided with a nice TESLA umbrella that could serve as sunshade in a pinch
VIN 29xx, reserved May, 2013 (#35xx), ordered late Feb, delivered late May, 2016.

It's frustrating to hear about more uninformed, ignorant DS's though. In case you weren't paying attention, there have already been fixed spoilers delivered to a couple 90D owners. So much for "active spoilers on all X's"!

Got the call, ready for delivery anytime this week!
vin 50xx, Pearl White 7-seater. 90D, non-PUP.
There are about a dozen Model X at the Devon, PA SC. My DS initially told me this morning the service dept. was waiting for some unnamed part(s) to be sent out from Fremont for all the Model X they had waiting in the lot before they could deliver. But a few hours later she called saying she had the OK for me to pick it up anytime I was ready.
I had a good long look at the exterior this past weekend after noticing it had arrived already. I see I have the active spoiler. I also noticed at least one 90D on the lot with the fixed spoiler, so it looks like I was early enough to get the freebie upgrade but that's over now for newly manufactured 90Ds.
I noticed one spot on the car I'm not so sure about concerning fit. Any opinions?

I would not be in a hurry. This is a bad sign. You need to look at all panel seams and fits. Get it fixed first or be in for a long headache. Headache(Tesla X issues) is the most common form of pain. It's a major reason people miss days at work or school or visit the SC. Two big issues are door handles off alignment and FWD's sticking out around bottom area.

I know what i'd CONSIDER saying;
"I'm sorry but there's a glaring alignment error - easily visible for all to see, can you please take care of it?
and if they said, "uh, I don't see anything...." I'd seriously think about saying, "really? Well let me know when you can find a service person who CAN see obvious glaring alignment issues ... and get it fixed ... and after that, let me know when I can pick it up.

Thanks for all three who confirmed this is a spot to deal with.
Handles and FWDs look good to me, we'll see once I get them open and closed a few times. That front spot on the hood was the only line looking a bit off to me. I haven't seen the interior yet.
Contrary to some of what I see at TMC, my experience w these cars has been fabulous. I had an early VIN ModelS (3440). The car was awesome and any issues were promptly and efficiently handled by my awesome service center staff. I have no doubts the same will be in store for the new X.
Super stoked!

Phew, it looks like we just squeeked in for the active spoiler freebie.
Thanks for the blind spot link, but it seems like the information assumes you can see the cars behind you with the rear view mirror. What makes the MX blind spot so big is that you really can't see much with the rear view mirror even with the 6 seat configuration (due to the small rear hatch window, small rear view mirror and super dark tinting on the rear hatch window). So, without much of a rear view it does not work very well to adjust the side view mirrors outward. Maybe some sort of fisheye mirror would help??
Picked up today from Cleveland. Very satisfied. Used autopilot for 95% of the trip home to detroit area. It's really amazing.
Looked over the car. Didn't have any problems with anything.
Spoiler is a active.
No sunshade.
Non pup 90d silver metallic with onyx 22's

Excellent! Congrats!
Care to share pictures? I have the same exterior color combo and would love to see how it looks!

I must say. After looking at the pictures on the forum I payed very very close attention. I noticed the top of one of the FWDs to be maybe a millimeter off. The handles were aligned perfectly as everything else was. If I took a close up picture and posted it, you may notice it. But if I never read the forums I wouldn't have put an ounce of worry into it even after noticing it. Basically what I'm trying to say is. It looks much much much worse in the pictures then it actually is and I'm sure 99.9 percent of people would be completely ok with it after seeing it in person.
I'll have some for you tomorrow. Cleveland said it was their first with this color combo and a few of them said it was their favorite combo. Looks great. You are going to love it.
