Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Picked up 5 seat mx this morning. Surpassed any expectation I had coming from a 2018 X. This truly is a major upgrade. Yoke is great and easy, turn signals take 5 min to get used to. I've had 5 people drive it already and all had no issue with yoke or signals whatsoever. No major complaints.
Interesting points:
- The AC system is 10x better than the old X. Instant cold air.
- The ride quality is way better
- Road / tire noise is negligible. So quiet.
- Sound system is greatly improved but still rattles from subwoofer (my only real issue with car)
- Rear screen seems useless but have rear passengers be able to control AC or music makes a huge difference.
- Swivel screen is cool but not worth rejecting delivery over. (its not that big of a deal)
- ventilated seats are amazing
- Display is way better and more responsive
- backup camera quality seems poor compared to old X
- rear seats seem more comfortable than my old 5 seat X
- Way faster than old X LR
- Not sure how to describe it but the car just feels more solid and well put together.
Quality:
- Overall the quality was good. 6/10 based on what I have seen. The issues below are minor.
- Car was pretty dirty on outside, inside was clean except for glass was nasty
- Panel gaps not great (like other X's I've seen on here) but not that big of a deal to me. may ask to adjust left FWD
- Front driver seat has lost of creasing and folds but hopefully will fix itself over time.
- small dent on spoiler
- several small paint imperfections but not worried about them
- interior trim not snapped in all the way (I got to help assemble the car haha)
- interior trim has lots of adhesive residue.
- My only real issue I hope to address is a rattle from a clip near the subwoofer. Had the same issue on my old X.
I will try and think of more feedback worth sharing. Btw my wait was 461 days

"Conflicted" is a good way to describe this situation. I was on the road when I got the update on the black (vs. my VIN'ed white). As soon as I got home this afternoon, my wife says: "Yeah - I mean, you've waited this long, get the one you want". She's much wiser than me and is generally right in all regards. That said, I'd be totally happy either way, but will ponder this a few more days. Not sayin' I'm gonna', but IIIFFFF I decide to play with fire, can you all feed my laziness? I know the answers are in here somewhere, but a few questions:
If you decide to punt (delay), how is this typically done? Verbally tell your SA? Is this done in lieu of scheduling a delivery date or prior to that point? Can you specify how long you want to delay delivery? I think I heard one month?
Also, if there is a chance you will be out of town, I think I have read of people appointing power of attorney to someone who can take delivery for you - correct?
Sorry and thanks in advance!
No, some have reported not being able to enter the car to inspect prior to accepting delivery.
3/13/21, LR, trade-in for pickup in Savannah went to July 27 - Sept 21

That’s insane. I have a brand new model y performance with 7k miles (perfect condition). And my trade in offer was 58k.

After scanning through the updates, my July 21 order update seems to have the worst new window - 12/4 to 2/26. Black/white 22” 5pax.
Just another data point. I ordered launch day January 27, 2021 and my date range is now June 23-August 4.
I hope that rumor about matrix headlights in July is true!

A neighbor of mine had a BMW X7, then he got a Tesla M3, then some time later, he got rid of the BMW for a model Y, then had Tesla solar installed. The nail is on the coffin for ICE cars in some parts
It’s the other way around for me. Tesla’s offer for my 2016X90D is miles ahead of carvana, vroom etc.
Tesla was pretty close to carmax for me as far as trade in offer.
My EDD continues to slip - now June 7-11. Called the delivery line again and he said new arrival date they see to Charlotte is June 1. He refused to tell me where it is and said they’re only allowed to say it’s “in transit”. When I mentioned that a prior rep had given me more info he said “it’s on the way to Birmingham Alabama right now” so I guess it’s slowly making its way across the country.
Birmingham isn’t that far from Charlotte so it’s surprising it will take another 10 days to transit by train/truck.
Yes, I can attest to this. A lot of us 7 seaters got a date range.
I got one too!!
June 15th to July 27th! Orders 4/15/21 from Bay Area, CA.
Hoping for a VIN to follow soon!
Oh for sure but if it wasn’t for seeing that new EDD I would have purchased it on the spot and not miss my current X. I’ll wait for the X for now but if it slips again or if I take delivery and I have the creaky squeaky build quality of the X I have now I will sell it, buy the X7 and be done with Tesla. They now have the worst customer experience of any similarly priced manufacturer that I’ve ever experienced.
Yeah, my delivery appointment was set for 5/29, but they emailed me that the car is expected on the 24th and I should upload insurance ASAP so they can “pull you forward if available.”
