Model X Signature Configuration has begun!

Like this? Might keep things simple and be also used for 3rd row passenger entry.

Yes, I was thinking something more straight and more like "cuddling" the front row seats, but that's what I was getting at.

For those who have access now (I don't with my late Sig number), what are the exterior color options? Also, I, too would like screen shots showing the front of the vehicle if possible and info on the lights.

 

[Newscutter]

Maybe it's just me... but it looks like the headliner STILL doesn't match the interior... except on the tan leather. Are multiple headliners really that hard to launch with??

I opted against grey leather on my S partly because it didn't look right with the beigey pillars/headliner.

What about this modification of your theory - The second row seats first tilt back so the back of the seat is horizontal to the floor and the bottom of the seat is vertical. Then the seat sinks towards the floor and pushes forward. Then the 3rd row seats tilt forward and push towards the front to be on top of the 2nd row seats.

This way you have more open space where the 3rd row seats were and then you also have a more flat area where the 3rd row seat backs are the floor on top of the second row seats.

This would be some interesting engineering that might explain the challenges in the second row. The second row seat track would have to be able to move forward and also raise up and down to accomplish this.

This is what I was kind of getting at. I think the 2nd row seats will bend but only so that it can look like this --> \\_ when pushed up against the front seats.

I love this idea. I had the same idea for the 2nd row, but that would let big parts of the leather unprotected. That would be fixed by having 3rd and 2nd row against each other, protecting the leather.

Okay, as requested here is a Design Studio interior with White Leather Seats, Carbon Fiber Decor, and White Alcantara Headliner. If you look back at the order screens, note that only the rear two seats fold down.

What could the silver object be, that is just visible under the closest second row seat? A device or mechanism to turn the second row seats forward completely, creating a flat surface? The floor created by the third row folding down appears to be pretty high. That leaves space for the second row seats to 'bow' forward and create an even loading floor. Just speculating.

That's supposed to be all three rows (with 3rd and 2nd row folded):

what if theres some space underneath and it butts up and under the front seats

or maybe like this

With all of the extra space in the floor, I bet the second row of seats turn forward and lower at the push of a button. Similar to the pictures posted here on the past couple of pages.

The EPA mileage and 0-60 are not as good as expected, but still plenty for most of us.

Parking sensors, blind spot and automatic braking is all standard which is great for those looking for the safety but have no interest in the auto-pilot features.

Wheels look awesome on the Sig but I would love to see what the base look like. Curious about the size as well.

Looking forward to all the additional pictures of the design studio!

I tried to back out the options (guessing some of the prices) to figure out the price and I came in around $85k for the X70. Would anyone be kind enough to show a screen shot of the price with the "show selected options" expanded?

That looks NSFW!

This was my original thought on page 7. But I was thinking more vertical like --> \\_ as in the seat straightens out flat. I know the design doesn't look like it would, but I don't know, just guessing since we only see photos. Maybe the leather is flexible to straighten?

2nd row is Always big spoon.

Anyone else?

I have figured it out!

I speculated ages ago about the second row seats rotating 90degrees outwards to allow for easier access, what if they can rotate 180degrees, thus allowing a flat base the whole way.

 

[brantse]

I'm surprised no discussion on the side mirrors. Wasn't it still expected that these would be eliminated?

 

[CmdrThor]

The EPA mileage and 0-60 are not as good as expected, but still plenty for most of us.

Estimated EPA of the P90D Model S is about 268 (6% increase over 253). So compare that to Model X P90 Signature, the 240 is 10.5% lower. So if the Model S 90D is about 286, that puts the Model X 90D around 256. I think I can live with that.

 

[SW2Fiddler]

So... the driver's visor folds away to the left, hinged at the A pillar
First and third row do have hinges between seat-back and seat, 2nd row don't seem to "hinge" (see the unbroken outside edge) but these can have some kind of overall acrobatic trick as other posts are exploring.

 

[Jeva]

So for those that have access...does it give the model base pricing?

 

[timf]

It also appears that the second row seats shown here are optional, since it lists "Independently operable, 3-adult second row seats" under the list of options included with the Signature series. I suspect a more traditional 60-40 folding bench second row will be standard for those concerned with how the seats fold flat.

Still struggling to work out the centre high mounted stop light, being on the trailing edge of the spoiler means it's hidden unless the spoiler is always up?.

 

[HWS]

If I get the Model X, I'll consider configuring the car with 20". The 22" are too huge and will require too expensive tires. The energy consumption with 20" should also be slightly better than 22".

Better take the 22" if you get them and sell m later.

It's been assumed for a while that it was a non starter due to government regulations that need to be changed.

Are there sleeve pockets on the falcon doors? It sort of looks like it.
