Yeh. I was actually wanting it to be after first of year anyway. This is my second Tesla so I am familiar with their complete lack of customer service and communication so par for the course. It’s all just random.
I called Tesla and said I ain’t paying or getting insurance until I have more details on pickup and to make sure VIN doesn’t get pulled. Waiting to hear back.

Got assigned a VIN last week. Was scheduled for delivery on 12/19. Car was expected to ship out last Friday from Fremont and arrive in Southern CA on Saturday. Monday now and my SA says that the car is still being assembled in Fremont and won’t ship until it’s completed.. they took my payment so fast and give me this info..

After more than a year, I own a 2022 MX!
OMG that is soooooo accurate!Facebook: enjoy the ads: you’re the product.
Tesla: enjoy the products: you’re the ad.
There have only been two times Tesla has reached out to me unprovoked since I placed my order in March. The first was in October to ask if I wanted to upgrade to the 6 seater for a delivery this year (which I begrudgingly accepted) and the second was today...just to tell me I can expect delivery in February. I sent a follow up question about it still being a placeholder or if there is something new and no response.
That's interesting. I was considering buying an inventory Plaid S given there is no indication when Canadian X deliveries will begin and when I reached out to Tesla there was no effort to convince me to purchase the S Plaid instead which on the one side is nice since the dealership pressure model I hate but on the other hand it made such a luxury expensive purchase seem unimportant to Tesla so it contributed to making me decide to just wait for the X .

Just called Tesla to ask about estimate delivery day. She said it looks like my cat is scheduled to be in Pittsburg on the 29th. Cutting close for year end but I will take it. Hope it sticks
EDD probably says DOG...

I do love that... but if it is parked on a major street (e.g., Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna Beach) where there is not much space for passing cars, the automatic door opening scares the heebee-geebees out of the passing traffic... so, I have disabled it... kind of sad... and I still like the powered front doors very much.
The X is a really unique car - And it is a pleasure to drive.
One comment - since lots of people were good stuff about the FWDs.... Those are heavy doors, and while the sensors do a very good at avoiding things, I would be very careful with fingers wedged between doors and body... especially for little children or very elderly people which want to keep their hands on the pillar...

On Friday, my VIN showed up and today they called me to say it should be arriving at the SC on the 27th . I asked about the $2,000 pre-refresh discount and he said that it was noted on my account and should be reflected in the final price as it gets closer to the delivery date. If everything goes as planned, I should be picking it up the next day on the 28th. It'll be 10 days short of a year since I ordered it.
I am heading to pick up the model X now! Can't wait!!! What should I look for when I go?

My Model X Delivery Day Checklist
I still think a checklist is necessary because it will still be up to you to accept or reject the delivery and what better time to make sure you don't have a lemon than just before you take the thing.
-> of note, once you select "accept delivery" from your account, the car is yours no matter what you find. You'd have to schedule a service appointment yourself which may be a better choice than just roundly rejecting delivery.
-> also I don't recommend hunting for panel gaps from an aesthetic point of view, look for day light otherwise you'll just be told it is within specifications. Think safety and function.

Update as to why I got a ViN when my order date is 8/1/21. This car was at delivery site and previous customer “couldn’t get financing in order” so they assigned to me since I was next match for that site and build. They said they of course must deliver before end of year so if I don’t want it they will assign to someone else.
