Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

There is a good safety argument for sticking with the yoke. Yoke is Safer

I love Munro but they're making a very narrow argument for the yoke being "safer". If you're driving head-on, with the yoke at 0 degrees, of course the yoke is safer: it puts your hands at 9 and 3, which is safest for airbag deployment, and generally what everyone should be doing (round wheel or not).

However, they're ignoring the elephant in the room, which is maneuverability. If you need to make any sort of fast steering adjustment that would require grabbing a different part of the wheel OTHER THAN 9 and 3, the yoke is terrible.

This of course would be less of an issue if we got variable steering with the yoke, or at least a smaller steering ratio. IMO the yoke came too soon, as this wasn't ready.

Agree. Yoke is good to make left or right turns. What about U turns?

So I take a day off and you get a Vin while I’m gone? WTF? Congratulations! I figured you'd be here until the bitter end with me in 2025 when Tesla delivered their final two Model X's. Now get this thing delivered!

Whoops just catching up with the thread as I go. Well, it looks like I’ll see you at delivery in 2025 after all. Major bummer

LOL! the reactions to STRO finally getting a VIN, and then the subsequent realizations that he lost it, are the highlights of this thread so far.

I guess we’ve gotta agree to disagree, other than yes I think it would be better to have speed-dependent (or even exact-gps-location/map dependent) variable steering ratio.

I think the yoke is sweetness, beauty, function, and form.

@Stro to chime in here, I feel for you. Here’s hoping the real deal is soon.

Hey I posted a couple of days ago that i got a call from a sales advisor to upgrade to a 6-seat configuration (Model X Plaid). I agreed to do that.

Now today when I checked my delivery, I have an actual date range (feb 20 - mar 13).

But I already know Tesla is a huge tease so I’m not gonna get my hopes up for those dates.

EDD changed from August 2022 to Feb 8-March 1 now back to August

 

[ShadX]

Called the Rep to get an explanation. Stated "glitch in the system that again causing these earlier dates " lol

Same thing happened to me right after I accepted the trade in on my M3LR. I called to ask about it and they told me they will re-evaluate my trade in when my vin is assigned if it’s past 2/28/22.

Before today, my estimated delivery was March, so not much earlier for me

Can someone tell me if this is normal? I’ve been following this forum for a while now to see when my LR 5 seater Model X will be start production and delivery. I decided to order a 6 seater plaid less than a month ago bc I saw they were being delivered faster. I live in NJ btw… the EDD was October. I just got this today with an updated EDD of Feb 17 - March 5

I ordered MXP in November, and had August as EDD. Changed to Feb and now back to August. I'm also in NJ

 

[GatoMX]

I am 20 min west of ShadX in NJ and in same boat but Plaids are coming out faster. It is very possible.

Until you have a VIN on that account, don’t read too much into it.

Wait there’s a glitch in the Tesla Model X distribution/allocation system?

You don’t say!

 

[KidsEyeDr]

Until you have a VIN on that account, don’t read too much into it.

Once you have a VIN in your account, don’t read too much into it.

Once you have a VIN plus an EDD, don’t read too much into it.

Once you have a VIN plus an EDD and it’s on the lot, don’t read too much into it.

Once you are driving it, you have now received it. Probably.

Today is delivery day! Normally when we’ve gotten our previous Teslas we had so much ordered and ready to install (mats, glass screen protectors etc) but there hardly anything available right now that seems decent.
Still excited to get the car this afternoon

speaking of mats,has it already been verified if 2018 X mats fit the refresh?

Thought glitches only existed in Halo!

It doesn’t come with floor mats?
