Thanks, all. Makes sense. I've never been to a Supercharger with a ceiling...
Can anyone who's seen the car up close at the reveal event or elsewhere comment on what kind of defroster vents are visible?

Pics from the reveal event show the Founders vehicles have the original S style defrost where it is just a mess cover versus an exposed vent.

It's more like "opportunity charging" at work. Car went from Costa Mesa up to Hawthorne that morning and he had meetings. So, might as well charge the car while its there.

Never too soon... until Tesla cleans this mess up! The X is almost 4 years in the making, and currently from a charging capability perspective, it's inferior to both the Roadster and the S. I hope they offer a 2nd on board charger at some point (if there is physical room for it) or allow owners who get the 48A charger to upgrade (no charge) to the originally intended 72A. The car of the future cannot live in the past IMHO...
Let's not jump to conclusions based on rumors. I sat in Elon's car on the reveal and recall seeing the charging screen having an option of 72A. That's doesn't mean that I know it has that charging capability, but it's an indicator that maybe we don't know the facts here.
One of the Founder owners has stated that the Founders series has a 72Amp onboard charger.
There is a huge thread devoted to this over on the battery/charging section on this forum. I liked the jab about the 48A charger and the "too soon" comment following, so I replied to those comments. If you spend a great deal of time on this site scouring for new info, like I do, then you are up to speed with the the 48A charging scenario. It's a good read with alot of insightful comments from the TMC community.
It has been confirmed from multiple sig reservation holders that their Model X will only have 48A on board charging. They heard this directly from Tesla (it's in that big thread). What happens from here on out is anyone's guess.

Totally kidding. I'm an X reservation holder (was seq #3984 before they went to reservation dates) and have been following along very closely. Just trying to add some levity to this grim predicament. Quite frustrated that Tesla is trying so hard to get me to cancel my reservation actually. Ugh.
I hear ya man! Me too. I'm trying to be optimistic, and I appreciate some humor and light-heartedness as it relates to the X. It's been a long long wait! I'm just baffled, though, at the amount of miscommunication between Tesla and their customers. The 48A charging is just one example. The lack of transparency as it relates to specs/cost since the launch of the Model X bothers me.
Anyone have a few pictures of a Blue X with the white interior taken from inside the car? Or at last standing right outside? Jen-Hsun's car .. but a bit closer up? We're trying to decide between the white and tan interiors and I can't seem to find the angle I want.
