Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Hebert]

So I’m seeing conflicting reports. For original long range purchases, are we getting the long range model X or the 332mi that’s now showing on their website?

332 is the range for 22" wheels. If you change the tire size to 20" you will see 351 ( for a 5 seater).

It might just be a weird EPA thing too and adjusting the average wh/mile applied to calculations. I doubt they changed the battery pack from 2021 to 2022 VINs.

New Tesla MX/Y VIN changes

Tesla updates VIN manufacturer code to 7SA for Model X/Y

After sticking with the same ‘5YJ’ VIN manufacturer code since it started producing the Model S in 2012, Tesla has updated its code for the 2022 model year. But only for some of their vehicles. […]

Update…my car is currently passing through Colorado and expected to arrive between the 19th-21st. If that holds, looking at delivery next weekend or early the following week. My account still shows TBD.

Seems like they only delivering white cars

"Max.vertical load for bike carrying (US only): 55Kg / 121 lbs"

So... What is the max load for bike carrying in other countries?

I have always found this confusing. I understand that a max load trailer of 5000lbs is horizontal load pressure (vertical weight balanced on trailer axle), where a bike rack is 100% vertical load pressure. But does that mean a 5000lbs trailer can not exceed 121lbs of vertical load pressure on the trailer hitch? I feel like this doesn't add up. Is a 121 lbs bike load an arbitrary NHTSA thing?

A 5000 lb trailer can have up to 500 lbs of hitch weight/tongue weight (what they are called when the trailer is hooked up). But that weight is applied within 8" of the receiver, as you saw in the restrictions in the photo. Additionally, trailers are hooked up on a ball, which relieves torsion when traveling. Bikes, on the other hand, are weight at a larger distance than that 8" (torque = weight x distance) and are also dynamic weight that isn't relieved by the ball hitch. Dynamics change the force applied to the stock hitch dramatically.

One way to think of this is just imagining holding the tongue of a trailer in your hands. When you lift it, you're truly mostly just lifting it up. Now imagine holding a 2x4 at the end and putting a 40 lb weight on it about a foot out. You have to twist and it's a significantly different force (and much more difficult!)

yes.

Most cars with active safety these days have pedestrian AEB.

I hope the measurement is not accurate… 71db is not impressive.

Okay so couple quick tests on the highway, same stretch, 70 mph, same app and phone (pixel 4a with Sound Meter app in Google play pass)
2020 Jeep Compass: 72 db average
2021 Model X: 71 db average

The X has a db average of 55 at a stand still with 5 on the fan and recirc on for comparison. I'll test the 3 another day and repost.

Yes, I just picked up a 7SAY Vin'd Model Y on friday. It’s a 2022

They only have about 6 weeks to get the X to everyone who switched to 6 seat configuration and was promised that would get them delivery this year. However, seems all of us are showing January delivery, and almost none of us have VINs. So if they miss their deadline yet again, you think they’ll still keep the extra money and just expect us to deal with it?

wonder why they did not test noise level on TESLA cars?

Yeah it’s not good at all

I’ve always thought it was an upsell tactic. It’ll be Jan through March and you won’t get $ back

Edit: I should say, some will get December but it won’t be much. IMO

Using the wall charger is easy, as any SA will explain to you. The wall charger absolutely won't work until you have been assigned a VIN number. You also need an invitation from Tesla and at least a 99% driving score to use your charger. Also, memorize your VIN number; you'll need to input it into your phone app each time you charge.

Did your SA set you up for the $10 per use surcharge or did you opt for the higher deductible version for $40 surcharge per charge?

I'm not sure I agree with your comment about the charger not working until you've been assigned a VIN. My daughter has an S and she's been able to charge her car on my charger.

Uh yep. You received a verbal “guarantee” from basically an SA not a strong argument for a remedy. You likely still will receive your car before those who ordered a 5/7 seater.

Just found myself designing a r1s available jan 2022 might do it and get whichever come first that or the X

Any news from Rivian on potential delivery date/month/quarter/year????

 

[Cutch26]

We had one person here with a Plaid get the call. However, I don’t recall who.

there was me and one other guy who switched to 6 seater via call with plaid orders.. mine however went from blank to April again now

 

[1pinhigh]

Good luck - they haven’t delivered a single vehicle to a non employee yet that I’m aware of and are building the trucks at like 1 per day rate? The suv I’d guess more like summer 2022 to start customer deliveries.

I saw that Rivian had disclosed in their IPO documents that they've delivered 150 R1T trucks as of the IPO. Unfortunately, the informationo did not include any comments about who the trucks were actually delivered to.
