Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread

So far after taking delivery on Friday of my Plaid X, I've found three minor issues. First, the USB C ports in the center console either don't work or aren't actually there. It looks like there are ports there but when I try to plug in a cable it just slips through the hole. Second, the damper on the sliding cup holders doesn't work. The cup holder just slams open and doesn't open slowly. Third, the console cover doesn't slide to the fully closed position correctly...it seems to get stuck at the last inch. As I said, these are minor but that's all I've noticed so far.

Lurker from the MS plaid thread here...
Do the center cubby lights go off when the cubby is opened?

So I finally got my service appointment completed and my car picked up and..... my bent license plate was replaced with a generic "ALL WHEEL DRIVE" Plate with plastic chrome, my scratches are still visible, my headlights are not matching in their alignment, and my left repeater camera housing is loose. This is so aggravating. I left the car with them and came back with NEW issues on top of the old not being addressed properly. Amazing.
Can you post pics? Yours is blue and a few of us would love to get a look at your new X.
 
Took delivery of my MXP today. MSM, black, 20’s. The only major issue I have found is condensation in one of the tail lights. It is droplets, not fog, so it will probably need to be replaced. I know this is not a model X specific issue. I have two very subtle surface scratches, that I think will be able to be buffed out when I take it for PPF and ceramic coating. FWD’s seem flawless. I will post some pics tomorrow. I need to give it one final thorough inspection in the daylight before my 24 hours is up.
 
Are you certain it is not coming from the BOM rivets in the lower seat frame? There is a SB for that...
Nope, definitely from the upper seat area. You can even use your hands when not sitting in the seat and make it creak by pushing it. It almost seems to be in the area where the speakers/mics for the noise canceling hardware may be.
 
Here are a few photos of my MXP. In addition to the above post, I found a tiny dent behind the passenger side FWD, and a little bit of white fabric sticking out of one of the rear articulation points on the passenger side FWD.

Somehow the old link reverted to view only - this is editable again.

Thank you for adding me. I will update after my SC appointment on 2/15.

Also a lurker from the MS Plaid area…. Do you ax’s also suffer from the mid 40 mph vibration under slight acceleration? A real mess on the Refreshed S, especially Plaid cars.
I really hope this isn't the "shudder" issue that's been around forever with the Model X (and Model S to some extent). My 2016 Model X had 5 sets of half-shafts replaced for this issue, and it would always come back. I'm really hoping this new Raven+ suspension in the 2022's doesn't have the same problems.

If the problem gets bad enuf, expect a Software "fix" to use ANC (ASC?) To shake the driver's seat to compensate when needed.

Of course, it may not be fully effective, like the Fix for the galled scroll compressor on the M3/MY HVAC...
