Maybe they'll bring back the 7-seater Plaid in Q1/2024 to sweeten the deal? I'd sure fall for that one.

The X has the same updates as the S. Also there is a lot new in the feature differences between a 2021 X and a 2023 X. One example is Matrix headlights. There are about 80 other updates.

Vast majority of carbiuers are not going to realize the “under-the-hood” differences, or minor things like headlights changes. My parents don’t know and likely do that care what the heck isna matrix headlight over the original one. This is mostly the same X as from 2016.

Here is what I do know, this car cost $50K less than it did 4 years ago, and is the cheapest of 4 Tesla's I've owned since 2012.
I am actually considering buying a second one since it's such a good deal for this level of technology. If you look under the hood, you would realize that the powertrain and the charging infrastructure alone are superior to anything else on the road today. Name one car not made by Tesla that can go 400+ miles on the about 3 gallons of gasoline energy? Or an SUV/CUV that can go 349 Miles on that same 3 gallons of energy, and still outperform 99% of the cars on the road?
Your parents, like mine, are probably happy with a Subaru Outback, that's a great car for what you pay for it. If you need sheetmetal work to feel better about the value to you, then I get that. I think the current body style is going to become a classic, just like the old Mercedes E320.
My parents and I do look at IIHS headlight ratings due to compromised night vision. The old <Oct 2023 Model X was a no go due to the crappy LED lights. My 2016 Model S has the same crappy lights, and I am upgrading them to these, because the DRL burn out all the time and the light output is horrible.
here are the new matrix headlights running without software controls, once the government regulators figure out how well the software controlled ones work, Tesla can flash the firmware and enable full control of the matrix headlights.. Here is an example with the matrix headlight software controls enabled.

Nah, I have owned 3, a 3K and 103K and now a 450K VIN model (sold the first two).
The current model is significantly better than each unit and much different/improved. Sure they still have falcon wing doors but the interior, guts and exterior have changed over the years to make them "different" vehicles..
No one in a Model X is getting 349 real world miles. In any condition. Maybe close, but not that rated range. Unless you're only going downhill. C’mon.
Merry Christmas, y’all.

I'll let you know what the wife reports back on the range. I know I can make it get 200, doing 90 MPH, but she drives like Ms Daisy.
Merry Christmas, this is her combo birthday/Christmas present.

Well that adds in additional details such as are these preassembled drivetrains staged in different areas? Do they have that one last one already pre-staged? Does the Robot have to insert/attach/connect the drive train any differently and need to have the setting changed (part of retooling)...

She sounds high maintenance.
A few years ago, my sister had one in every room of their house. They have TVs in all of them too. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing a tree in their garage, but their garage is nicer than our living room.

Soooooo can we close this useless rumor mill or a thread now? 
The X refresh will not be anytime soon unless it is a proving ground for features for future Model Ys.

No they need to change the title to Model X now costs $7500 less due to the new Point of Sales rebate, for those that qualify, so it is actually $72,499.00 before gas costs are factored in.Soooooo can we close this useless rumor mill or a thread now?

These price increases have two purposes: i) make the inventory look appetising when they try to clear out 2023 inventory. ii) make next EoQ discounts look better in comparison.
Fair point, I just don't see why they would increase the LR price because it's right under the 80k cap.
Right now, Model X is a great value for many buyers. The current 100 kWh battery gives great range and charges quickly. Recharging at Superchargers is amazingly quick. Federal Tax Credits, Utility rebates, State rebates all make it a smart choice for many. In addition, it still qualifies for the Federal accelerated depreciation if you have a profitable small business.
It is super easy to get in and out of, rides great, handles well, cruises quietly, has a great sound system, dual displays, efficient heat pump, variable height air suspension, panorama windshield, heated and cooled perforated seating, super high safety ratings, and a commanding view of the road.
Of course, it is not for everyone, but for those in the know, it is fantastic.

Q1/2024 begins so they are beginning to manufacture for EMEA and they are sold out in north america. Law of demand and supply.
