Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[mr-dmitry]

Holy cow. You have been waiting for longer than most! I’m with you, though.

When you're buying a Tesla, you're also buying a wide range of emotions randing from misery to despair. This is priceless! Tesla Model X. The car of your dream!®

Hi folks! I picked up my blue/cream/6 seat/20"/no FSD MX yesterday evening from the Devon, PA SC. Process was super smooth and the car looked great. Only 2 issues: the fobs were missing and there was a crack in the windshield right at the base of the trim going from the rear view mirror back towards the roof of the car (photo below). You can't see the crack from the driver's side, but thankfully I brought my eagle-eyed wife along. Anyway, I have a service appointment scheduled to get the fobs and replace the windshield.

After pickup, I drove the car about 80 miles back home. The time flew by! What an awesome car!

Good luck with the windshield replacement. Mine was similarly delivered to my house that way, so I had them take it back to the service center. It has been there for close to 5 weeks now waiting for a windshield replacement. I get a text from the service guy once a week updating me that there are no Model X windshields available in North America, and no known date when there will be one. Seems odd that they can produce so many new X's with windshields, but not save one for these issues.

Sounds like my X

oh geez what issues do you have

After 411 days I took delivery of my MX LR last Saturday March 12th. I picked it up in Lynnwood, WA SC.

The pick up went really well. The SC people were really good and the car had been looked over pretty well. My original delivery attempt on February 8th was delayed because the FWD doors needed alignment and then it was noticed that some oil was on one of the door panels so a new one needed to be ordered.

I have only driven it 150 miles.
So far it’s incredible and with the wait. I do like the yoke. I have no issues with the turn signals. THE adjustment did not take long at all.

I’m in the process of doing an XPEL stealth wrap. Never wrapped a car before. Taking it slow. But so far so good. I’ve done the trim above the driver side doors and the hood so far.

Sadly, I went to go take my daughter to school Friday and the key could not be detected. I tried all the things. Key fobs. Phone key. Key cards. Nothing would work. I could use the key fob and phones to unlock the car by walking up to it. So it knew they were close by, just not in the car. Reset the touch screen. Powered off. Waited. Still nothing. Called road side and their only solution was to have it towed to the SC. So now it sits there waiting for a tech to find out what happened. Their initial look said it’s working fine. The keycard I sent with it they said was detected. So not sure what’s up. I hope they find something. Last year I had an issue with my Mercedes where it would crank but never start. Got it towed and the shop tested it and it worked fine. Has been fine ever since.

The tow truck driver was familiar with Tesla’s, but he had never seen a refresh. He was amazed by the yoke. It was fun to see his reaction to the new interior.

VIN Dec 14, 2021
Delivered March 12, 2022

With all the talk of "2021 field cars", the QC issues being reported on this forum and new improvements coming soon, maybe it's better to be delayed until July...

Not to mention a whole raft of alternative electric vehicles beginning to appear later this year maybe … but none quite like this egg …

Squeaks, rattling, creaking over every bump, slightly uneven road and turn. It’s actually embarrassing to give anyone a ride because everyone is aware how expensive they are. Small soft rubber sections on FWD hinge area constantly falls off. Driver door frequently jams in an open position about 3” from closing. It’s not been the best, I’m probably certifiable for waiting this long on the refresh after this experience and it sounding like it’s very likely going to happen again.

I don’t think there’s wireless charging in the back. There are two usb C ports.

Wireless charging pads (if present) would likely be in the fold-down armrest in the middle seat. That’s where they are on the S.

Looks like Tesla now allows changes to be made to existing orders without price changing to current pricing.

Back row does have heating capability. Both reclining and folding is managed by a manual lever on the door side. No arm rest, besides the doors. I'll have to check if the seats move back and forward, but I don't believe so.

Can yours bench seat move forward individually?

Hehe, I feel like I won the lottery!
I have been on the July 2022 EDD for weeks, but this morning Tesla in Lynnwood, WA called and said a car in my configuration had "become available" and would be delivered to their store for pickup next week.
I have VIN 7SAXCBE58NF335xxx and pickup scheduled for Friday 3/25/22!

Congratulations. What are your configurations?

I don't even see an option to edit my configuration at all anymore. I would in a heartbeat if allowed at old prices.

They apparently just forgot to screw that seat

Why did your order not go through a normal process with the confirmation and payment in the app? Why did they assign a VIN manually? This looks suspicious.

No, only 7 seater can move forward/backward. 5 seater is fixed, the same as pre-refresh model.

I suspect they had someone who couldn't or wouldn't take delivery on this X and were calling around for someone nearby with the same configuration who could take delivery before the end of the quarter. After the phone call, everything went through the app as usual, including an expedited update on my trade-in.

Today it's the 510th day of my wait. I live in 10 minutes from the factory in Freemont, and, likely, have the oldest order. Got calls and emails with promises and multiple text messages asking to confirm the month. But it's still showing July and will likely shift again as it did before a dozen times...

Looks like your order is one month before my order. Hoping for an early Q2 arrival.

You can tell from the picture with the car seats on previous page that the carpet has no cut out for the sliding mechanism like the 7 seaters do. So, the current 5 seaters is the exact same configuration as the pre-refresh 5 seaters. 60/40 split, no arm rest, no sliding.

Is it possible to play albums from the Spotify music library in the random order on Tesla? Albums - not the tracks in them. The order of tracks should remain unchanged.

Yup guess it just aint me. I’m like wow the X’s quality still have not improved AND the captain chair still squeaks to death. Was the same in my 2020 X. Left it forwards and backwards it would squeak like crazy

I’d consider moving to a plaid if this is true.
