Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

The auto-lane change is the only function I miss from FSD when I’m driving our Y.

That is part of EAP which is all anyone needs. Tesla needs to bring back EAP.

Random insight for anyone on the fence about ordering FSD. I have had the beta for a little while now and done a good amount of testing with it and it is no where and I mean no where near ready.. you can’t even begin to imagine how dangerous it is.. if your not keeping the car for 5-10 years i wouldn’t even consider paying for FSD because its easily that far from being ready

I guess I figure that while I’m paying an extra $20k to shave a second off of my 0-60 time, might as well throw another $10k at it for FSD.

In all seriousness, I’m thinking the progress will start picking up speed as they get a lot more data back from the greatly expanded beta pool.

Tesla does not do traditional model years. Just because they were built in 2021 does not mean they will be 2021 model Year. I got my Model Y November 2020 and its a 2021 model year. Tesla switches their model year randomly and not at a fix date. There will be no different resale value based on the build date of Nov/Dec 2020 vs Jan 2021. Tesla makes incremental changes throughout a year so resale value can be impacted for various other reasons

Please reread... I stated "Model Year", not production month or year. A Nov 2021 or Dec 2021 build could be a 2021 or 2022 so I am waiting. Not converting to 6 seats helps ensure it will be a 2022 VIN if its late December or Q1.

Given the youtube beta testers have shown a lot of really good footage I wonder if that just shows how much improvement there is from FSD team learning an area that’s been driven a lot so they can retrain mistakes.

The new testers are in different cities than the small set from before. Should be interesting to see how well the patches go every few weeks.

I have FSD Beta too on my M3. Not adding to my X. It has a long way to go. It would fail a driving test if it was a 16 year old taking the test. And I am in the suburbs, not inner city.

I am investing that extra 10K until it is ready. It'll pay itself over a few times, I believe.

That's the way I look at it

Lies!

I did not get a call, but will decline , why i would get something I don’t need and pay extra, just for few weeks early delivery [ if is true that it i will happen]

That’s right man stick to your guns. The world needs more people like you!…… so us 6 seat folks can get our cars quicker

 

[EV_LIFE]

Lies!

I can just see it coming, haha

 

[JER85]

I keep wondering if they will pull the 5-seater. I sure hope not.

Isn’t the 7 seater essentially a 5 seater when the third row is folded down?

 

[Stro]

Hey... I actually looked. Even with the grammar being bad, it's believable. Sad but true.

 

[JER85]

Exactly. Until all cars can talk to each other FSD will not be worth it.

You think car manufacturers will come together and share a common software for cars to communicate with each other? That is 100% not happening in our lifetime…. Maybe my kids will see that one day but they are toddlers right now.

Yeah. I think Tesla should just make 7 seater standard and 6 optional.

Yeah. I think Tesla should just make 7 seater standard and 6 optional.

I don’t want that third row taking up any of my cargo space. Even folded down it must take some space up that I could otherwise be using.

It's all about perception. Especially to people new to Tesla. If you had the exact same vehicle (MX). One listed as 2021 and the other as 2022, most will perceive the 2022 being newer even though they could have been made 2 months apart. Something so silly, yet so real.

The reality is, if yours was made a day after mine, you might have a significant upgrade or design improvement. The Model Year is yet another old non-first-principles presumptive tradition that Tesla has made outdated.

Will the new x have dual pane windows like the Y and 3?

The Tesla glass video specifically showed a model X refresh in the context of showing double-pane glass.

 

[KidsEyeDr]

That is the point. You cannot assume they are the same even within a model year.

Say someone wants to buy a 2018 Model X because they "know" it has MCU 2 that makes everything so much faster. But, Tesla did not switch to MCU 2 until mid-March 2018. Would they as buyers, think you ripped them off when the center display is jerky and slow? And also, how will they feel when Tesla wants $1000 to upgrade the Feb 2018 car to MCU 2?

I mean if you’re buying a used car and don’t do hands-on assessment or get a quality third party assessment, it’s kinda your fault for ending up with a slow display
