Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Richbot]

If they promise not to offer me a car until 2023 I'll order a plaid, lol

Does anyone have any recommendations for the frunk auto lift and trunk kick auto open accessories? I would like to add to my 2021 MSP.

When will we start seeing more deliveries? I just don't get how they have built all of those X's outside the factory and they are not going anywhere. I understand there is a chip shortage but there is just no way that they are not able to delivery more cars than they are right now.

I am curious if Tesla changed/improved the towing bar system. The legacy one (which I have and @ohmman too) can become loose after sustained use with a large trailer, some pros have replaced it with a Draw Tite system.

I can completely relate... I just had a dream last night that I was sitting in my new X with my family and going over all the tech and features. It was so awesome... Until I woke up and realized it was all bullshit and I still have an empty car stall in my garage with a wall charger installed that continues to mock me with its little green light

You need to turn off the green light! You’ll feel free once you turn it off!

Totally agree. Makes no sense

Inquiring minds must know, national news is hot on this story:

Are the factory interior/trunk/frunk LED lights still terrible and dim and useless? Dome lights any better?

 

[Richbot]

Totally agree. Makes no sense

There's also a CDL shortage, rail is booked, shipping some of these over water where maybe consumer protection laws don't let somebody keep your money for a year without consequences...they'll get there now the line's running. Once a production line starts it's sortof like pushing a snowball down a hill full of wet snow. It's frustratingly unimpressive looking up from the bottom, right up until you're buried in snow inventory

... I turned off the circuit breaker... no more green light. And... likewise, my hopes are dimming....

Especially given the number of refreshed MS's that are being delivered. The KC SC had at least 5 new Plaid S's this week and they've always got a number of new S's sitting in the parking lot. It definitely doesn't make sense that S's are abundant and there are NO X's.

Absolutely love our frunk opener from Hansshow... see my comments elsewhere.

Can you elaborate, particularly with a link to more info about this problem and the Draw Tite replacement?

I just watched the latest flyover video again and thought the SAME THING!! How can all those vehicles just be sitting there?? There are a ton of Xs just sitting by the test track. I, too understand the chip shortage, but can't make sense of why those cars sit there while others continue to ship out!

Also, it will be upsetting when all those cars get released in December (hopefully!!), with a 2021 VIN.

Looks identical to me. Still 121 measly dead weight pounds

As far as I can tell they are still using the Bosal.

S's sell at a fraction of Xs. Similar to 3s and Ys. Worse S and X share fewer parts. Maybe 25%. 3 and Y share about 65% of parts.

The X is a very unique car with unique features like self-presenting doors, 6 passenger seating option, falcon wings, etc. That is why it is called a Faberge Egg. Unique, expensive, and sometimes fragile.

At this point I don’t even care about the Model year. I just want/need the freaking car already. I know it will hurt me when I decide to sell it or trade it in, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there I guess.

I purposely deferred 6 seats when I got the call so more likely for the 2022 model year VIN and really prefer 7 seats. I don't want one sitting out in the sun day after day for weeks and weeks. My cars are garaged when not on the road and even at work, in the shade. Therefore I hope I don't get one of these. I will wait...

Hah, this reminds me of my model 3 woes. I was supposed to take delivery in December 2018, but lived out in North Dakota at the time. Car got delayed to Minnesota, then had issues needing repair from shipment. I ended up not getting it until March 2019 as they had to then arrange truck delivery to my house 8 hours away from the delivery center. I did get a discount added though for all the trouble after lots of complaining. But yep, march 2019 delivery on an oct 2018 vehicle.
