The day finally arrived after ~2 months of waiting. Pulled the trigger on a X 100D on 1/31 and took delivery 3/28. Here are some of my thoughts for to-be owners, rants, and praises.
After placing order the delivery specialist (in Fremont) contacted me and kept good communication throughout the wait until the MX went into production. There were slight delays and re-scheduling over the weekend since the car wasn't ready yet so we pushed it out to the following week and settled on Wed 6:15PM. Wife, toddler, and I took off work early and arrived early at 6PM.
Waited.... and waited.. and waited... Finally at almost 9PM, around 3 hours later, we finally got to see the X. Needlessly to say wife and kid were hungry, cranky, and frankly just wanted to leave before seeing the car. Starting inspecting the car and found major hood misalignment which they took care of on the spot. I did notice the front bumper and side fender were also not flush / very noticeable step which I wanted to bring up but by that time wife was pissed so... just let it go. *sigh*
After 5 days of ownership I did notice some issues that I want to take back for repair.
1) Driver side seat crease - Basically pretty severe pinching / crease on the driver seat. Wished I noticed this in their dark showroom?
2) Left blinker stalk - Plastic feels loose and always has a clicking feeling whenever you use it for signaling, etc...
3) Front passenger side window - Loud squeak when you roll up/down
4) Front bumper / side fender step -- Not flush
So yeah. Many people say that Tesla quality improved. That the people who took delivery with issues and what not are only the people who post online. I really wanted to believe that and hoped I would get a near perfect Model X but such is reality.
At the end of the day, like many other people say, its not the end of the world. Its still a dream to drive compared to my Audi Q5. I just dropped the X off for a full XPEL custom wrap + CQuartz finest reserve coating. So hopefully should get it back by end of next week.
By the way, for people who took delivery recently, did you get key fobs in a Tesla box? Mine was just 2 fobs by themselves on the dash..
