Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Since S/X are low volume, but high profit cars, I imagine that Tesla is doing everything they can to get them out the door.
Issue may be that they simply cannot get enough well trained/quality oriented employees to build them.
Watching the Sandy Monro tear down videos, it is evident that a ton of engineering went into the refresh. Probably taking them longer that wated to integrate all these new designs into production.
Prediction is for better days ahead for s/X volume and quality.

I have been trying to to figure out the same thing. Last weekend, I went to my St. Louis Service center and saw multiple LR and Plaid X's sitting in their lot. It just about broke my spirit, knowing that the issue is not getting the X's to the Midwest. Several people in my own town are getting them.
has anyone with a plaid order received a recent date range or VIN? Seems like they’ve shifted to LR now. For a while it was raining PLAID VINS.
Its actually much easier than that.
Issue is they shut their line down with a backlog of orders, and continued to take new orders... all while setting unrealistic expectations for those two groups of customers. Not only that, this line serviced two new products (S and X), 4 if you count the Plaid as a separate beast. The continued taking orders on all of these while their line was down, and they continued setting unrealistic expectations.
It doesn't matter what your supply chain is like, or what your employees are like if you have your line shut down, but don't communicate this to people who have existing orders or people making new orders. From what we've read here... the plan was always S Plaid, then S, the X Plaid, then X. For some reason some slight volume of X came before the X Plaid, but then they switched to the X Plaid. There was no way they could deliver the X when they did, because it was gated by the S.
There may have been issues getting employees, or getting specific parts. But Tesla has a history of grossly underestimating how long it will take a product to get to production, and they have a history of doing a poor job communicating truthful/accurate information to their customers. This X rollout was no different. The S was only slightly better because it came first.
My order number is RN1141***** - that's 300,000 order numbers earlier. Still showing July. The Bay Area.

So what's the latest on the mid-refresh refresh? Only taillights and charge port door? No matrix headlights?
The last I heard, headlights would be a Jun/Jul thing. But, obviously this is up for debate.
Latest MXPs are coming out with refreshed taillights, charging port, and new Plaid badge.
that was from that sawyer guy..i dont think he knows jack. just regurgitates what he reads
I know Jack, but he doesn't work for Tesla.

Not many plaids last couple of days, but ratio remains the same. We have 101 LR VINs to 45 Plaids and the last 2 weeks it was 35 LR to 18 plaids.

Being a new MX Plaid... you should get your car by the end of the week or sometime by the end of April.
