I must have become a squeaky enough wheel over the last 5+ months to my Delivery Specialist about the lack of information about my MX production and delivery status that I had a Delivery Experience Manager reach out to me and give me a phone call a few minutes ago. He had inquired with production about the status of my vehicle and why it had been delayed for so long and had some news to report.
It turns out that Tesla was unhappy about the quality of the Black Multi-Pattern seats (durability perhaps?), and decided to have them made again (maybe even change suppliers). They are expecting the new seats to come in 10-14 days, after which they will need to be installed, and then the car will need to go through the full QC / inspection / validation process to make sure everything is right. So my guess would be it will be another month or more before the car will be ready for delivery in Fremont. The DEM said that he would update me when the seats arrive as to how long the remaining processes would take as they are in flux right now.
Hopefully the new seat material is great otherwise I will have wished I opted for leather and had the car months sooner. I'm not crazy about leather seats, but I'm sure I could have gotten used to them
