I expect 7 before 5, based on the assumption that it’s more similar to the 6 seaters which they have been making for months with the 3rd row. Don’t forget the original 5 seaters also came out much later because it’s more different than the 6/7 seaters in the back.

LR White with black, always 6 seats, order 1/27/21
Good for you. I'm so jealous. Hopefully they will have another one on the truck and go a little further south for me.

So it looks like they're back to making LRs (hopefully, and not a rejected LR previously made?)

That's correct. Tesla changed it's identifier in 2022 for the X/Y. First three characters:
2021 - 5YJ
2022 - 7SA
2021 - 5YJ
2022 - 7SA
I’m thinking about to refuse the 2021 model X, since I waited for 9 months, I don’t care another couple months.

Degradation is right in line with mine... no significant difference (percent Degradation per 10k miles), and I was normal usage.
My numbers are 275 at 100% at 63000 miles and rated new at 295.

As well as 6 seat intolerant...
Let me know if you do so, I will then go and check how does the car look. I will also look for 2022 VIN however it depends, I have other urgencies.
Waiting on my 5 seater LR X since last January. Original plan was it was the replacement for my wife's RX, but she wanted to drive it for a month before she committed to it... if she didn't like it, I'd take it to replace my 2014 model S, and she'd get another RX. If she liked it, I'd sell my S and get either a 3, S or S Plaid. We both knew she'd love the X and the most likely plan was she'd get an X, and I'd see the reviews on the Plaid S when it comes out and probably order one.
I highly doubt they care... but we decided to send a message to Tesla. A year of being lied to and/or ignored and enough is enough. We decided the second car would not be a Tesla due to how piss poor Tesla has handled the model X rollout with us... a year from our initial 3 month order, and we still have no end in sight. This past weekend decided to pick up a Porsche Taycan Turbo S for my car.
We're on a wait a see as far as what to do with the X. I think in the back of our mind my wife and I realize odds are we aren't seeing the X any time soon. I would say July is the most likely if I had to guess, but October is much more likely than the Feb/March they have repeatedly told us (and not talking about just the EDD, we've been told by two humans at Tesla we will definitely get it in Q1). Wife still wants to hold out a bit more since we've been waiting this long and she really would like the X. But at some point you treat a customer bad enough, and they leave. The "it will be worth it once you get it" is crap. The most likely scenario I see is they burn through the 6 seater orders with zero regard for how long I've been in the queue. Then they will decide to officially cancel the 5 seater, and I'll be given the option to cancel the order or move to a 6 seater. So basically back to the same spot we were in October when they offered it to me, except this time it 6-9 months later, people who ordered significantly after me getting the car significantly before me, and I'm being forced to switch because they didn't have the foresight to be honest with reality. But that's Tesla. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and I'll get that 5 seater in mid March as promised. The annoying thing is it should be easy to tell right, simple question "Elon: does Tesla currently have in stock any 3 seat benches for the 5/7 seat model X, or are there any that have been manufactured by your supplier and are en route to Fremont for production in the next 4-6 weeks". By now that answer should be known internally. Communicate with your customers and be honest.
I've also referred 4 people officially to Tesla through there referral program, and told countless others about how much we loved the model S and the buying experience then. Thats gone. Anyone asks at this point, and we're still more than happy to share the experience but lets just say it won't be a recommendation/referral. It will be a "Tesla could give a rat's ass about their customers and are a poorly run company who came up with a good product".
So starts the journey to our endgame. Shame because it didn't have to be this way. It just amazes me the choices Tesla has made. I still hope they manage to get us our X, but at this point I really don't see it happening, but my wife is willing to give them one last shot.
