Has anyone been successful in getting Tesla to add the fobs at delivery? Kind of annoyed they got ride of them. The fob is more efficient and quicker than pulling my phone out, opening the app, and finding the correct FWD door to open.

Just did some research.
There are two model Ss here 2021 and 2022 model. All other options were same just the odometer is 98 for 21 and <50 for 22. Looks like the picture of headlight is different which seems like 21 as regular and 22 as matrix. Many people said that the model year doesn’t really matters to Tesla cars but seems like it does. This is example on model S but I guess it will be the same for X as well since those are from same company, Tesla.
Pictures from existing stock on Tesla.com.
Edit: As you know, also the exterior colors are different but same price option.

I don’t think it’s set in stone. Handful of guys didn’t get keys could just be a shortage. Tesla is notorious for delivering cars with parts missing.
I expect they will politely decline to provide them free of charge and will direct you to the page on their site where you can order them. I think their belief is that many people will never use them (like me) and it’s a waste of money to supply them to all new orders when you have similar functionality with phone key.
Tesla has announced that they will no longer provide them. There was a link to this many pages back in this thread.
Tesla Stops Selling Model S And X With Key Fobs
Tesla is no longer including key fobs as standard on the Tesla Model S and X. The cost-cutting move came into effect on July 1.
My EDD is back (was "hold" yesterday). Now it's moved up a couple of days to 9/28-11/23. Basically the same as it was.

That sucks! I just sold my model X plaid and gave the owner the keys. Before you guys ask I wanted a white interior had black before. Guess I lose radar & keys.Tesla has announced that they will no longer provide them. There was a link to this many pages back in this thread.

Tesla has disabled/will be disabling the radar, so even if you technically "had" the hardware, you would still lose radar.
I contacted my SA so that it was "on record" that I didn't request the hold, that way if for some reason I need to place a hold later they can't claim I placed the hold. I have a pretty friendly, responsive SA though, so your milage may vary of course.
Yeah my SA replied with “thanks for taking it off hold”
After going on hold yesterday and losing my EDD, today it's back and slightly improved! Went from August 21–October 2 to TBD to August 23–September 27.

I wonder how many orders there were where the person who placed the order forgot about it, or just doesn't want the car anymore. Obviously that's not the mentality of the people visiting this forum every day, but we here don't necessarily represent the majority viewpoint. It's shady AF that they're sneaking these holds into peoples' accounts though.
The good news is that every order that gets cancelled through this hold thing is putting us one VIN closer to finally getting ours!

Especially given it doesn't push any sort of notification (I assume it doesn't since nobody has indicated it does). Only the obsessive/fanatical people in here like myself who checks their account multiple times a day would detect it before it's too late.
I’ve lost all excitement for this car during this wait so I haven’t been paying much attention to the forum. Are we getting seat back pockets finally?
I got an email notification about 24 hours after I discovered the hold.Especially given it doesn't push any sort of notification (I assume it doesn't since nobody has indicated it does).

Haha I wouldn’t be surprised. Put someone on the line with a needle poking holes to ventilate them.I guess they are using MY front seats due to shortage
You should have your account already in place. You can probably get a turn around of 48-72 hours on application to check delivery. Tough to say when to "apply". I did. that after I got a VIN and they sent me a check. Turned out to be the wrong car. I had to send the check, they "cancelled" the loan and I had to reapply after the correct car came in.
