New Model X Configuration and Pricing
- Thread starter ohm-ms
- Start date
what is the chance that ppl who ordered end of June, without PUP ($6k for Model X) and not in production yet, will just get PUP? I don't see them retooling their production line to include PUP by default, and then making a change for cars without PUP to remove the features.... doesn't make sense...
i have a feeling those that ordered without PUP will just get it for free... what do you guys think???

Has anyone had the experience of having their car under production while a change like this happens? Would Tesla go ahead and throw in the premium upgrades now at my previous price, since they are include it now and it seems like they're trying to streamline the production process? Oh I can always dream
My MX just went into production today. I sure hope they honor the discount on mine since it wasn’t built before they made the change.
i think you're guessing as well. logically they are not going to change the production line to change the configuration for a handful of cars.....
the only way you are right is they have a "switch over" date, where every car after going into production line after a certain date will get the PUP by default. so if anything cars that were just recently ordered in the last few days have the highest likelihood of getting the PUP included at no cost

Sometimes they hook you up. Example I got AP2 hardware even though I ordered AP1 before they switched. I think in this case unfortunately someone posted a memo saying they wouldn’t... the right thing I think would be to refund those that did order PUP since in their case they’re paying $2500 extra.
I think the memo was in reference to people who had ordered PUP and were looking to get refunded the extra. I don't think there has been any comment by Tesla to those that have ordered cars without and are hoping to score PUP. Congrats on the AP2
That is messed up, I got my car delivered 30 days ago and now it's 2K cheaper
Welcome to Tesla.
Could be worse... like the folks that were caught in the AP1 to AP2 change. Some lost $20k in depreciation before they took delivery of their cars.
Yes the pre AP to AP1 change was also painful for some but I think the worst examples would be people who upgraded from 60D to 75D the night before the price cut, it went from $15,000aud to $3000aud over night... and people who bought P100D before price cut. oh and there was that time they took away air suspension for no reason but to exhaust supplies of coil suspension at the factory.
To be honest, it's a risk buying a new Model S this late in the cycle but I just couldn't resist. This will be my third Model S

Okay so I just asked the group here at Tyson’s corner. The answer was if you order another car you would NOT lose your deposit. Their point was they wouldn’t have a problem selling the undelivered car and whatever made the customer happy they would do.
So if you want to wait and reorder at the lower price you can with no issue.

seems wrong to take away the PUP option and forcing it on people. Like for me, i didn't need or want any of the PUP options and it definitely would have affected my decision in getting the X in the first place. $79,5k vs $83k is a big difference for something u don't want
This is definitely not the option I was offered. My X wasn't in production, and they still weren't having any of transferring my deposit to another order. This was Tesla Bellevue.

I argued with a guy on Reddit about this. I concede that some SCs are nicer than others.
No, welcome to life. This “phenomonon” is not unique to Tesla, or cars for that matter.
Glad this came out now, delivery was for this week. I was going to pick up a showroom 2018 Model X with 1800 miles but the price difference between the show room and a brand new Model X is only 1300. Hopefully they can adjust the price

Ugh. Just took delivery of an MX 100D - would have got this at $3K cheaper since it's part of base now. Damn. Oh well.
I do wish in these cases they would at least grandfather in (or offer small fee to enable) the non-hardware aspects of the retiring PUP product. This is just like back in 2015 where you needed to get PUP on Model S for powered liftgate.
For some people the self-presenting door feature could be an accessibility benefit, and now that it's standard I wish existing MX owners could have it enabled.
