MODEL X PLAID READY IF I SWITCH

[jonzcfo]

Hello All

New to this
Soooo
I currently have an order MX regular not PLAID est delivery date March 8th-May 31st '23
I put in my order May 19th.
Something I just noticed
Tesla.com drop down menu when you chose Model X, it automatically defaults to Plaid, interesting.
Anyway I'm thinking of upgrading (If you'd call it that) to the Plaid. Immediate delivery however which is great. However does anyone think I should wait for the 2023 Plaid model maybe facelift, matrix lights ect ...? Or edit my current purchase to the Paid and take delivery in two-three weeks?
Any thoughts/opinions would be much appreciated.

Well, it won't be immediate. There are people with plaid orders in front of you. Seems like May/June/July orders have not been VIN'd yet. You are likely to get something by end of Sept at the end of quarter push.

As for waiting. There is ZERO guarantee any thing will happen. I seriously doubt there'll be a refresh or matrix lights. The question is simple, do you want the car or not. Plaid is the fastest way to get there. I mean this is the same question asked all over the internet about any tech item... should you wait for xxx.... you can, but then you will never actually get said item. Say you wait, then they announce there will be more HP, then you wait, then they say there will be new battery pack, then you wait... now you are 2 years in. Then what?

What did you decide? They gave me the same offer this week but for only a $15k upgrade. I'm still trying to decide.

Each has opinion but an SUV is suppose to have STOAREAGE Space for UTILITY in its name. The plaid comes in 6 seat only. Worse seating config for storage as they don't fold flat. Show stopper for me right there. Others don't care.

How do i know if the MX P has a
2023 vin number?

The year letter in the VIN is a P (for 2023) instead of N (for 2022).

Stephen, just saw this thread and was wondering if you had any update? Did you change your order to the Plaid? Did you receive a 2023 VIN??????

I emailed rep she said Tesla can't guarantee a 2023 VIN but to edit my purchase and if not '23, cancel
However MX L and MX P prices seem to be dropping on the used market
If I can buy an MX P' 22 low mileage for ~$ 110,000
I'd buy it

 

[Mr.Figs]

Appreciate the update! I just checked the fair market value on Edmunds for a low mileage used MX P 2022 from a private party in the northeast. It’s currently in the $117k and $123k range so if you can find one for $110 that would be a total steal. I’m sure you heard that Elon just reduced China’s prices by up to 9% due to falling demand over there. Fingers crossed for some price slashing here.

Elon Musk will be lucky to get a lump of coal in his stocking from me for Christmas. Still, what you said is inaccurate. They have rising production in china. So, it's unfair to say that the demand is lessened, rather that the amount of demand for the amount of production has lessened. Not quite the same thing. And that's only for model 3s and model Ys.

Start enjoying now! Like I did, one of the first 2021 refreshes. So awesome a computer on wheels!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hi mr10012
I stll haven't decided
I do not think I'm go to pay more for the Plad + I don't like the Yoke steering or the lack of stalks. I know I can install an after market round steering wheel but that seems ludicrous no pun intended. Sooooo....

 

[jonzcfo]

Mr Figgs
I'm still debating almost seems like I'd get better price buying used MX P 2022 or 2023 with low miles 200-600 miles

In my case, I need every mile of range, so Plaid or 22" wheels were not an option... Not looking forward to Yoke or lack of stalks, but a lot of people are reporting that you get used to it. I'll have to see how this works out for me and my wife. If I were in a rush I might consider one of the several used 2022/2023 LR, but I have my current MX, so no reason to pay more than my reservation price.

The yoke and lack of stalks are for any version of Model S/X. Not just plaids. I got used to it, and my wife sorta is used to it, but the dumbest thing ever is the stupid small button for the horn, not having the horn in the center is just plain idiotic. Blinkers are not bad, but still not ideal. I love the yoke style.

I think I read on some thread that a firmware update was supposed to add horn functionality to the center of the yoke. Not so?

Is the lack of the driving mode stalk (D/N/R/P) an issue, or is the screen selection good enough?
