Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Same, mine has said January since my June order date. If I get it mine in January I'll be VERY surprised.

I find it kind of odd though that this thread was talking about brakes as a possibility last week and then suddenly an SA is telling customers this. It makes sense as a possibility but I think there’s a chance we are just creating rumor mills for the SAs here.Hopefully the delay in the plaids due to braking issues means we will get upgraded brakes on the plaid

When you look at the status using the Tesla App, what does it show? I think there are two different messages: "We're Building Your Car"; and "Schedule Delivery Appointment"
Mine has bounced between the two, but most recently is shows the schedule message but NO EDD. My EDD is now only shown on the website.
Not sure if any of these messages mean anything, but curious of any correlation.

I agree. I asked where they got the information from and the answer was “my supervisor.”
I read this article today. Maybe the brakes are an issue???
Tesla Plaid Brakes Catch On Fire After Several Stops From 100 MPH
Tesla Model S Plaid stock brakes reach breaking point after being subjected to several braking tests from 100 mph to 20 mph.
Mine is same. Ordered June, and has said estimated January with no changes to that estimate any time that I have checked the order status since ordering…which you can guess is pretty much every day. I really just need it in March/April, but thought Jan could be a potentially accurate estimate rather than a placeholder since that’s what it said on the website as EDD before I ordered it. Ordered: White/white, 7 Seats, FSD.
I don't want to cause a big ruckus, but have any 5 seat buyers sat it the 2nd row bench seat? I had a 6 seater and wanted the 5 seater for various reasons, but it was very uncomfortable. Padded...plywood? I went with the 6 again. For those of you who have time, because of all the delays I would suggest you go try the 2nd row out in case you want to change.
At the 1:16 mark, it appears to show two dumpsters filled to the top with what looks to be headlight assemblies? If so, why would so many headlights be discarded? Maybe a cause of some of the delays in delivery?
Hopefully, Tesla is moving forward on the new ruling in the Infrastructure package. It let US cars get those cool dimming segmented lights that European cars have had for a while.

When you google "Model X" and click on News to see if anything new is out there. WE are the news, folks.
HAHA, not sure what I was expecting.
I haven't heard from my SA since beginning of summer or so, after some odd things with my account, I was hoping someone could just say "yes, I see it's in queue and you have everything completed, as needed."
Yeah 100% this is what started our conversation on it last week. Lots of reports about the model S brakes. Many think it’s why the S Plaid is limited to 160mph versus the claimed 200mph. That’s also why I don’t buy it as the reason for Plaid delays lol since they are delivering the base model X with the same brakes. I think if brakes were the issue, they would limit the top speed just like the S Plaid.I read this article today. Maybe the brakes are an issue???

No chance, Tesla would use their inventory before switching. Not just switch without being forced.
Only thing that stops me from feeling hopeless and helpless is laughing about it, I don't have any control over the situation other than cancelling my order, which is not going to happen - I know I'll love the car.
