Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Choco]

Wow a vin assigned. Hopefully this will be a great vin week and Tesla has the hold-up fixed.

 

[Yosry]

I've been pinned! I've been pinned! Tesla and I are going steady. Whoops, make that vinned.

Came today. The specifics:
Vin #: 7SAXCDE56NF34xxxx
The Vehicle: 5 seater, metallic blue, FSD, LR
Delivery Window (subject to change): 4/29-5/4/2022
Car Status: Made, in California, to ship by rail to Birmingham, AL, then by truck to delivery center.
Delivery Location: SS Kennesaw, GA
Tesla Contact: Delivery Specialist called this afternoon to confirm contact info. Said I will receive a text to schedule actual delivery sometime this week.

Only took 15 months. No sweat.

PS I was soooo excited to tell you guys that I won't be bitching here much longer that I accidentally posted this in the M3 waiting forum by mistake much to their puzzlement.

This vin is built after 4/15, i am sure about that, as i was very close to the 34xxx when i got vin on 4/15

Yep, it was.

The most important ones are 1) try pulling seats out to make sure they are bolted down, and 2) open and close your FWDs to make sure they don't fall off or have metal rubbing places.

Ha! miss ya much!

Not too pleased that Tesla seems to be dilly dallying with building Model X’s and meanwhile interest rates keep rising. By the time they build mine who knows if I’ll be able to get a loan under 4%!

I agree. I went from having an amazing interest rate a few months ago when Tesla teased me with a specific date range to now contemplating paying cash given what rates are and what the market is doing.

Speaking of money, when I asked my advisor about the $138k hit after tag and taxes for my MXP they had this to say:

"When you need the money for your new car – let me know and I will get it transferred to your account. DO NOT try to finance it. Houses are one thing – as the interest does qualify as a deduction – but interest on cars is not deductible. We will just cash in some of the bonds we have in the portfolio and get you the money."

They've been in the financial game for longer than I've been alive, so I trust them, but still another side of me thinks if I could get a sub 2-4% loan then wouldn't it make sense to just cough up the interest and hope the capital retained can make up for it in the long game over the life of the loan?!?

The math doesn't lie. If the rate is low and you can make more in the market, it makes sense to get that low-rate loan.

BTW, I consider myself extremely lucky in one respect. I decided to finance through the credit union where I do my banking and they're STILL offering a 1.99% rate on new auto loans. I'm planning to pay for most of it in cash, but there's still a decent sized BMW deficit versus what I'll put down and what I'll finance. Given what's going on out there with inflation and so forth, that's really low rate. Hope to lock it down tomorrow.

Fingers crossed that more are headed to Kennesaw! Mine still says July. Ordered 4/2021. You’ve given me hope!

If you’re in a situation where you have that much money in investments that you can liquidate, I’d say you’re in great shape either way . All of my investments are tied up in 401k and IRA that I can’t touch for another 25+ years so I’m left with no choice but to finance or just not buy the car.

I saw 2 refresh white Xs at Tesla Highland Park. Hopefully they've restarted domestic deliveries.

DCU was still at 1.99% last week for 65 months. I couldn’t bring myself to pay cash for that kind of number.

Ha! miss ya much!

get a room

 

[JBTMX]

Wow- so much for being a supportive forum. I love the positivity that is flowing from some of you....

Perhaps you should learn to be kind and welcoming to newcomers and not a complete douche. It isn’t my job to prove to you that Teslas order system is all screwed up, but it is, and it worked in my favor this time.

Please accept my apology. Thank you for the proof.

 

[DelPhonic1]

3/15/22...it was a crazy fast turn around. I did not do anything to try and speed up the process as I was perfectly fine waiting until next year.

Maybe i should put in a 3rd order with a Davis address

 

[DelPhonic1]

AFAIK, invite has been on hold untill further notice.

Can you cite your sources?

For the love of god, can guys understand that you can take the 100 grand or so that you'd pay cash for your X, finance that and take that same cash and shovel heavily into Tesla stock, you'll quadruple that money in 4 years and buy a 2nd Model X, a Cybertruck and Y are 3 for the kids then? Or hold long? Tesla stock today is like Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft were after their first 10 years, but will have more explosive gains than all of those. And look what those companies have been doing since! Take advantage.

Accountants don't understand it, because they are still living in the old models of how car companies work, and Tesla is on a different, more disruptive level. Think of the Model T. Think of the iPhone 2 or iPhone 3.

Unfortunately I have no EDD, August 21 MXP order in Germany. I think all european orders still have no EDD at all.

That's what I was thinking as well, which means there's something going wrong with the order tracker. Can anyone confirm?

 

[tezlam3]

It's come to that, hasn't it... I wonder what could we burn in effigy to appease the VIN Gods? I need something to turn about my 441 days of no VIN

last time i conjured up this magic, i got my m3LR vin assigned lol

Ok Team….here’s a little update on my MXP 6 Seater MSM/Wh 20” …..

- VIN NF338xxx
- Delivery set for May 1 in Mt Kisco NY
- CarBuyerUSA offering $69k for my 2021 MYP with 9500 miles…that’s more than I paid for it a year ago including tax here in NY so ima go ahead and hit that bid. Tesla not really competitive on trade-in. Haven’t sold a car to one of these companies in the past so we’ll see how it goes. FaceTime inspection of vehicle tomorrow then I FedEx title to them and they wire me money before they collect car. Sounds ok to me. Others seem to have done well with this company from what I’ve read on the thread. Thoughts?
- Also, where should I post a great set of T Sportline 20” wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires from the MYP I’m selling for local pickup in NYC or Westchester county NY? (It’s being sold with 21” OEM Uberturbines with Summer Perf Tires so I’ve got the all season setup to sell).

Yeah…so that’s the sitch.
