I created this thread in anticipation of "We will invite that next group of reservation holders to configure in the next few weeks" -- that's Production reservationists since all the Sigs have already been invited -- which would be no earlier than tomorrow (10/21/15) unless they are on Tesla Time.
We can use this thread to speculate (since we all love to do that!), and, hopefully, any day now, post the actual Production X configuration screens and discuss the pricing and options available to us.
My prediction is the first group of production reservationists will be invited to configure on Thursday, 10/22/2015. If that date passes, then I predict the first group will get their emails no later than the morning of Tuesday, 11/03/2015, since the 2015 Q3 Conference Call starts at 2:30 PM PT:

Here's my educated guess at the Production options we'll have, based upon the Signature configurator, what I learned at the X Launch event, and https://modelxtracker.com/. Please click on that link if you have a Sig or Production reservation if you haven't already to provide your data to help improve Model X Tracking.
I've also made educated guesses for all these option prices based on Model X Sig options, extrapolated Model S pricing, previous posts to other threads, and thanks to input from MrBoylan and andrewket:
Sanity check: $132,000 is a Signature X P90D before any credits and rebates. It includes $10,500 in bundled options (#5-8 above), plus $4,500 for 22" wheels, $1,000 Metallic paint, $2,500 leather upgrade, and $750 Wood Decor, for $19,250 total. $132,000 - $19,250 = $112,750; really close to my predicted $113,000 for a production X P90D base model. Quod erat demonstrandum.
I visited Tesla Factory Store Monday afternoon with a few questions regarding configuration specifics. As usual, they are there to sell Model S trying to avoid the Osbourne effect. (The store is temporarily re-located to the back area while the front is being expanded.) A friendly rep disappeared into the back and returned a few minutes later with the same email address and phone numbers that were used by Signature reservationists to get their configuration questions answered. I left and called the special number hands-free while driving home.
As I kind of expected, the Tesla Inside Salesperson I spoke with knew nothing beyond what we have all learned from reading the forum about Production X configuration. She only knew about Signature X.
She did say this, however:

- $80,000: Future X 75D Base Price. This is from Elon's tweet that "price of Model X is actually only $5K more than S. Lower cost versions coming later." Model S 70D = $75K. This also jives with the "80" number some Tesla engineers told Superload at the X Reveal.
- $93,000: X 90D Base Price. Also per Elon's tweet, since Model S 90D base is $88K.
- $113,000: X P90D Base Price. Same +$20K as in Model S.
- $10,000: Ludicrous Speed Upgrade. Same as Sig X and Model S.
- $2,500: Autopilot Convenience Features. Same as Model S.
- $3,000: Premium Interior and Lighting. Includes a power liftgate. Same as S.
- $2,500: Smart Air Suspension. Same as S.
- $2,500: Ultra High Fidelity Sound. Same as S.
- $1,000: Subzero Weather Package. Same as Sig X.
- $750: Tow Package. Same as Sig X.
- Free: Accessory Hitch option. Same as Sig X.
- $1,000: Metallic Paint. Same as S.
- $1,500: Pearl White or Red Multi-Coat: Same as S.
- $4,500: 22" Wheels. Same as S 21" option.
- $2,500: Black, Tan or Grey Leather. Same as S "Next Generation Seats" option.
- $750: Wood Decor. Same as S.
- $1000: Carbon Fiber Decor. Same as S.

As I kind of expected, the Tesla Inside Salesperson I spoke with knew nothing beyond what we have all learned from reading the forum about Production X configuration. She only knew about Signature X.
She did say this, however:
- Confirmed that 6-seat Signatures will NOT include the 2nd row center console I saw in a Founder vehicle at Launch. Has no idea if it will ever be offered as an accessory. Agreed with my assumption we won't see it in production, either. I expect a 3rd party will offer something similar aftermarket if Tesla does not.
- Didn't seem to understand what I was talking about when I described Elon's fold-out armrest on his 7-seat configuration and asked if Sigs/Production will get it? Commented she'd never seen a Model X in person, which was really surprising to me!
- Didn't know if "Ultra White" vegan seating surface will be available in production, except to say the white leather Signature S interior was never offered in production.
- Had no idea whether Gray Leather will re-appear in production vehicles as an option like it is for Model S.
- Stated that none of the Signature options (e.g. SubZero) will delay delivery.
- Noted that the Oct. 7th email stated a "few weeks" so I should be invited soon, but it might not be 10/21, she doesn't know. She just advised me to look out for the email from Tesla, and everything will be revealed in my production configurator at that time.
