Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[BryWay]

+1 to the latter point - I was going to make the same, that the MX Plaid will be such a (comparatively) lower volume product, I would be shocked if Tesla would produce different seats between the two trims. It would go against everything we've seen Tesla do already in pursuit of supply chain efficiencies (ex. changes in paint colors, simplification/standardization of trims across models, etc.).

yup i understood what you meant..i was just talking out loud in my thought process on ordering cream seats after my mistake on the black seats

Interesting.

Before taking delivery of my 2022 Model X Plaid (with white seats / black piping), I rented a 2021 Refreshed Model X Long Range over the Christmas / New Year's holiday -- had it for 11 days. Drove it from San Francisco to Palm Springs and back, so had LOTS of time in the car. It had a Cream / Wood interior, and the cream seats DID NOT have contrast stitching (see pic). Plaid versions with Cream colored seats *do* have the contrast stitching.

It should also be noted, this isn't a first for Tesla. They included black contrast stitching (although more subdued) on white seats in the P100D / Performance versions of the MX in the past. Again, I speak from experience -- I owned a 2019 MX P100D with white seats / black contrast stitching.

Do we have interior pics of a 2022 X LR w/cream seats to compare with the 2022 Plaid?

Interesting...my 2019 Raven S Performance white seats does not have contrast stitching .
They really can streamline their productions by not having so many little modifications within their model line ups.

One more minor thing to add to the list differentiating the Plaid from the LR would be the subtleties in seat design. My Plaid MX has black piping on light colored seats. I believe the LR MX doesn't.

@EV_LIFE pointed this out a few weeks ago. Once again, I stand corrected. Lesson: Never question the Oracle

We needed to extend our rental car as no X on the horizon. I reached out to my SA and just asked if Tesla planned to do anything for those who have been waiting almost a year or longer and had to rent cars. She said Tesla doesn't have any plans and never helped anyone. I mentioned to her about the MMA fighter that got a free loaner from Tesla until his X was ready. I asked if she knew of anything for us common folks. She said I would have to contact their legal department

Safe to say nothing for us.

That’s nuts. I know people have deep pockets but I can’t believe they are willing to blow nearly $50k

when iPhone 6 came out it was $700 and was sold on eBay pretty regularly for $1500-2000 percentage wise people are willing to pay for the immediate excitement even it makes 0 sense.

Looks like the black interior MX Plaid has white contrast stitching on the seats. This is a screen capture from a video sent to me by a friend.

My MX LR 12V Battery died sitting at Tesla's delivery pickup lot for long time, now CS unable to ping the vehicle anymore...
All BS stories whenever I called them.

Strange but standard Tesla communication.

Extended my rental for a month today. Hopefully "February" is the month!!

Just saw some new Model X at the Rocklin supercharger/service. 2 Plaid and 1 LR. All in 6 seat config.

Missed attaching photos earlier to my previous post. "Just saw some new Model X at the Rocklin supercharger/service. 2 Plaid and 1 LR. All in 6 seat config."

Interesting. So it charges slower than my M3 (42mph).

Yep. It's all about the EPA rated Wh/mi. M3 is a much smaller car so it's rated Wh/mi is lower. So at a common charging rate, you will get more mph in the M3 than MX.

A quick web search yields 253Wh/mi for M3 and 330Wh/mi for MX. You can do your own division into charge rate and calculate charge speed.

Hopefully, "February 2022" is the month.

Yep that was Beneil Dariush, an Assyrian MMA fighter. I think it was Joe Rogan that relayed the message to Elon.

Model X has always been the pig of the group (love my piggy though!). Here's Tesla's chart using their Wall Charger as reference...

Do the French make cars or great food, wine /and happiness? I never understood the 2CV.

The French make the weirdest cars and therefore, by some measures, the most interesting - If I had to pick one classic car to own it wouldn't be some hot muscle or old benz or any of that - it'd be a Citroen DS Pallas

Isn't it 7.25 vs 6.25 for us?

Nope, Bay Area sales tax is around 10%, depending on where you live because there’s also county and city taxes in addition to state. Fremont, for example, is 10.25% total. Palo Alto doesn’t have a city tax portion so they are a bit under 10.

He literally posted that in that post

Yes, pics of a 2021. I know there may very well be no difference since Tesla doesn’t approach model years that way, but was just curious.
