I play a nice person on twitter.
Just an fyi: As of today, Model X Signature #2 is configured, confirmed, and not on hold. And I'm looking forward to taking delivery.

+1 Thank you for clarifying! Bonnie, are you able to comment on the specifications of the Model X?

There's no conspiracy theory.
There are zero, count them a mighty zero current production SUV/CUV models out there that both A) Fold, and B) Have seatbelts attached to the seats themselves, according to some folk who have done the research on the MX subforum.
It stands to reason that safety is a big reason behind non-folding seats, but it's very doubtful that focus groups and design groups found a folding seat solution ideal anyways. Folding seats means seat belts stretching across, back to the third row of seats (defeats the purpose of having amazingly easy entry/exit with falcon wing doors). Folding seats means the 2nd row would likely be a standard bench and not independently movable. It's a lot more doubtful that fully ventilated cooled seats could exist in folding seats.
Engineers are not out to get you. They're not sitting in a room, laughing and giving each other high-fives because they succeeded in making Cosmacelf mad by not including a common feature in their car.
Even if people defer or cancel, Tesla has a huge reservation list waiting to pick up the slack. I imagine details about the car will come in full shortly after the 29th, the seat issue will pass without much of a thought from both shareholder and customer perspectives.
Eds content being removed might have happened for a number of reasons:
1) Eds is a Tesla employee. Tesla employees aren't supposed to comment on here, without permission.
2) Eds is a former Tesla employee, who was fired, and was posting nonsense to try and hurt Tesla.
3) The information Eds said was true. A lot of time has past since it was posted and its very possible Elon, and the folks at Tesla, have fixed Eds made those posts.
4) If Nima Kalbasi is Eds, Tesla has made a statement about the content he posted online.
Regarding your assertion about Elon's ability to make good decisions:
Decision making becomes impaired when people are tired? Oh really? This is a fairly strange, and baseless thing to say.
No where in your screen shot does it indicate that Herb drove a MX, you said a number of people have taken MX test drives & so far not provided proof, your post was inaccurate & I wasn't the only one to point that out!
You really think a MX has been at the Hyatt in Calgary for some time & no one took pictures or video of it? The whole world has been dying to see this top secrete vehicle & Herb got a nice little test drive...makes a lot of sense to me.
Accusing me of being negative on the release is lame & false!

Congratulations Bonnie.........I hope you and your four legged friends enjoy it.
@drinkerofthekoolaid: Thanks for removing the comment about Lump. He shares all news that affects TSLA/TM I have found. That sometimes includes news that might impact TSLA negatively and I appreciate it as it helps me make informed investment decisions.

There have been a number of posts by people who mentioned they have taken the Model X for a test drive. I have seen many picture on Twitter of people test riving the Model X. I don't have time to dig up. If you don't believe me, I really don't care. I have better things to do with my Friday night then spending an hour digging through hundreds of Tweets and posts to satisfy someone who wouldn't change their mind even if I posted them..
You must have been hitting the refresh button continuously to see who would respond to your comment. I removed the part about you about 1-2 seconds after posting it, as a courtesy. I think almost everyone on here would agree that you are being very negative and are extremely skeptical about Tesla's ability to bring the Model X to market in a way that will keep customers and investors happy.

This is news to me as well. I will do some searching as well. I would appreciate, as I am sure others would, if you do take some time, when possible, to share some of those posts/tweets.
Thanks

I wonder if this is why Jerome left his current position and moved to Engineering, to create folding rear seats LMAO.
Were you saying that Elon is not overly tired, or that tired people make perfectly good decisions?
I think it is well established that lack of sleep can cause decision making issues...

Anyways, this debate seems off topic, and perhaps just bating people to respond. So, I may regret responding at all.

I suspect that Herb may have been confused about which Tesla was offered for test drives. (Not everyone knows that there are 2 different Tesla models offered for sale right now.)
The event at the Hyatt Calgary was apparently a Model S test drive event:

Congrats! Look forward to hearing your impressions of the Model X when you take delivery.

Model X 2019
I'm really glad they decided to make this launch event happen. This "29th non-event" issue made me worry about potential FUDsters who'd take the bait in an instant to talk TSLA down. Now, there's still potential for FUD if the final Model X is not impressive in some way but given the new eyes (and potentially new nose, too) this is less likely, now. I hope this 2nd row seat issue will be forgotten by the end of the month.
