Wiki Model X Refresh Issues Thread
- Thread starter studioloft
- Start date
Took delivery in NY on Sunday and so far, it is perfect. All carpets there, speakers perfect (I think), no panel gaps or stains or anything. I actually had two small trunk cover boards so I might have the one that's missing in another vehicle. The only thing I can't get to work is actually the two key fobs. They pair with the car, but the car is totally unresponsive to the buttons on the fob.

I can’t remember where I read this, but I saw someone post about issues with the fob. He took the battery out and there was a connection issue inside that he was able to fix. May want to google?
Mine issues which have been entered into a service request:
1. Hood misaligned/large gap on right sight
2. Scratches all over the place and missing paint on corner of c pillar (can see metal)
3. Sketchy looking weld in FWD jam
4. One Keyfob not working
5. Rattling/Static in passenger front speaker (noticed this morning)

My SA attempted this with my faulty Fob and it didnt work.. Must need a new one..
I'm expecting delivery any day now out of a Bay Area dealership. I cruised by and saw the car with my own eyes (matched VINs!), but today upon checking I couldn't find it (I think it was being worked on inside).
But on my first trip an employee there I spoke with (seemed like a manager) emphasized that they will need to do some "serious buffing" on my car before it would be ready to go, but he did say it passed all of their other inspections. He said there were other cars there that they were sending back to Fremont for failing final sign off, with issues that sound like some of those noted here.
So it seems like QC is not uniform across all dealerships... And I imagine "sending the car back to the factory" when that is < 20 miles away vs. across the country is a very different calculus as well.
Hopefully you guys get your issues resolved timely. But, I'm already bracing myself for the inherent punishment of being an early adopter.

It feels like that might be the case but I've looked inside and can't see anything wrong. After seeing the issues other people have I'm pretty happy this is the only thing wrong on my end. I've got mobile service for next week to fix.
I'm using a NEMA 10-30 that was already installed in my garage when I got the house. It's a 30A breaker and the car limits it at 24A. I get about 16 miles/hour.
Wow I can't believe this. Awful. I keep thinking I'm not being picky enough but mine feels flawless aside from the shared key fob issue. I think I have your missing small left pocket trunk panel. Mine came with 2 for some reason.
Got my issues fixed. Glass spine between the FWDs was replaced and installed properly so the gasket doesn't rub. Reinstalled my coat hanger above passenger third row properly as it was crooked. Installed rear mat.
As for the small trunk board on the driver's side, it is part 7 in the parts catalog under rugs and mats. There is no way for them to order it though currently as it has no assigned part number. So I'm stuck waiting. Sounds like someone else got mine here lol.
Also service mode pic as they left it in that for fun:

Can someone recommend a good set of mats for the refresh? Also, any other accessory that you have liked so far.
Thanks in advance.
