Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

Q: I'm in love with Apple's Dolby Atmos. Amazing leap forward in the way music sounds. If I use my iPhone to play music on my brand spanking new MX, will it be able to produce Atmos on the car's speakers?

Atmos requires specific speaker placement and audio processing / decoding. To date MBenz and Lucid Air are officially supported and of course it requires licensing from Dolby.

March 2021 order, Blue, 5-seat, 22's and no FSD...still dead air from Tesla, showing July EDD. Every time I see another VIN from a newer order, I die just a little more inside!

Same. It’s all so unreasonable.

 

[jbrowdy]

Guess they’re building a bunch for Canada right now so those of us USA orders from late q1 early q2 2021 will maybe be in the next batch they build for USA.

Guessing the Canadian orders going now are 2020 and q1 2021?

Happy for our northern neighbors. But, is a reason to believe that if they are doing Canadian orders next, they will also do European orders before turning the faucet back on for US orders?

EDD Update - could have happened yesterday or this morning.

April 24 - May 15

Since my EDD has changed several times since ordering, I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[baychaser]

I placed MXLR 5 seater order Oct. 2021 and received my vin number yesterday afternoon through text message. The EDD still shows Sep. 2022. Tesla sales person told me that Model X are on hold due to a software patch and they are expected to be completed from the 15th to the 18th.

I just wanted to chime in and let you know that you are not alone, my month old Model X has been doing the same exact thing since delivery day. It's very random and I can go days without it happening but then it starts again out of the blue. Hoping it's not a hardware issue.

Still on our trip. Have had to hard reboot multiple times.

I can say that every time my car gets in this state, it is either after I have used my backup camera OR supercharging. When car is warm, meaning I have driven for a while, and I put in reverse the backup camera pops up. It’s like clockwork, backup camera freezes or gets choppy and car is hosed until a hard reboot.

How do you do a hard reboot again?

How do you do a hard reboot again?

Hold brake pedal and both scroll wheels.

BTW, I am traveling from Miramar Beach to ATL tomorrow.

Just installed 2022.12.1 at hotel.

Will know tomorrow if it fixes the issue.

My confidence is low and totally feel all of these issues are processor heat related.

No

Burbank was my old stomping grounds. Now in Santa Fe, NM. Also waiting 15 months now.

In the SF area too, almost a year now. Wondering if being in NM might be a detriment. Maybe they’ll build all our cars at once and ship them out.

What!?! You are not checking it 36 times a day like many of us?!?!

This is reason why we don't see any change of our EDD

Unlikely? I thought the lead time for shipping to Europe is something like 8 weeks, so if they did try to make some for Europe after Canada I don't think they would make it by end of quarter. I think it is more likely they build Europe cars during the first month of Q3 for delivery end of Q3.

 

[matthewserta]

I guess I just got my hopes up too soon.
When that Mar 18-31 delivery date hit I was ready!
Now I’m coming down from that and frustration sets in.
I guess it’ll be another month before they start doing east coast again.

Welllll... I can get Atmos at home via 2 sets of Homepods and it works great. It also works, believe it or not, through my Apple power pro EarPods. The iPhone decodes it and is licensed. I'm doubtful a Bluetooth or even USB connection to the MX's sound system would work. If it requires licensing by Tesla, fat chance of that ever happening. Tesla doesn't even offer Airplay.

I believe most of the FWD alignment issues can be fixed by adjusting the door strikes.

Oh really? Where is this adjustment? Please elaborate.

Thanks

 

[amatt]

That's pretty much what they said every time I called them (roughly once or twice a week for most of March). Hang in there.

Bruce.

PS. Your post jogged my memory to fill in the post-delivery survey. I'm pretty sure the answers I gave just now, were not as flattering as they were for my first Tesla delivery.

LoL

Underneath the kickboard there's a strike plate/box that the latch fits into. It's held by two large torx screws that allow movement in/out and side to side. Additionally, if you look inside the strike box, there are 4 shims of varying thickness. I'm guessing these are paired left to right to allow twisting clockwise or counterclockwise by fractions of a few degrees. There would be no way to DIY adjust this twist without acquiring these shims from tesla or 3d printing them with ABS.

I have been reading with some interest all of these reported issues. I think it sheds light on the big picture, which is that these cars are sophisticated computers that are tasked with learning to react and function better than a human brain so that they can drive us around. While I very much believe in the sustainable energy mission, it’s no secret that I’m not a huge believer in FSD.

Are all of these overheating issues telling us that we are asking too much of these vehicles at this point, so much so that it is interfering with basic driving?

I take that back. It appears those shims are just the same sizes from vehicle to vehicle. The diagram shows them the same on mine with the upper right being a lot shorter. Looking more carefully, the shims are covering adjustment screws that would push the each shim in or out. This would still give you the twisting adjustment need to say raise the back of an FWD and lower the front.
