Production X Configuration Has Begun!

[wayner]

If the pricing for the Canadians is any indication, the Model X might actually be cheaper than the US price after taking the exchange rate, shipping and taxes into account. In other words, it seems Tesla Motors is willing to lower their profit margins in concession of the unfavorable exchange rate for Canadians, so maybe they will treat the patient Europeans the same way.

That has been the case with the Model S for a while but it may just be that Tesla, like many car dealers, is using a lagged moving average to set prices in other countries. In Canada there is also a tariff on Teslas as they are deemed to not be NAFTA eligible so Tesla is also eating something like a $6000 tariff (that is due to the value of the batteries making it an imported car as the batteries are Japanese - at least until the GF comes online).

That is certainly true for the Canadian Signatures, but I don't think that's guaranteed for regular Canadian Production. Recall how the US Signatures were ~8k cheaper than a similarly configured production model? I think the same thing may happen in Canada.

Oh, to hell with it. Pearl white on ultra white 90D, towing, charger, etc. I'm going to love this damn car, but I don't have to be happy about it! :wink:

Congrats Ohmman....

Oh you'll be happy about it. And you'll like it.

good for you Ohmman! Life's too short! Your X will be amazing!

I just got my VIN today (4xx)... Shizz just got real. I knew I was jumping the line a bit by going with a P90D (was high 4800's reservation number), but I didn't think I would get that low. Though, that doesn't necessarily mean much since we have seen deliveries with wide-varying VIN numbers. Nonetheless, It's coming!

Congrats @ohmman!

I am in the same boat - just got a 4xx VIN - woohoo!

 

[tonyx]

Congrats ohmman!
VINs assigned, 4xx both despite only confirming 1/04. Unexpected but excellent!

Congrats ohmman!

Congrats ohmmann! Love the pearl white choice. Ours is due in the next week or so.

Was that a command? :smile:

Resistance is futile. And that's coming from the ohm man.

OMG DUDE!! You are HILARIOUS!!:biggrin:

I like what you did there. Resistance is futile indeed! Approached zero in your case ...zero would have been ludicrous :wink:

Congrats on your order!

To deny your impulses is to deny the very thing that makes you human. :smile:

All our faceplants are belong to you.

Just say yes. Give in to the urge.

Took me right back to basic electronics class when the Prof. drew a picture of a "voltsvagon pulling a mobile Ohm" Sorry, don't know how to draw here.
