Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[kingjones94]

I just got a delivery window of February 1 through February 21. No VIN, but the most specific EDD in about a year since my original order.

Well this is new! Lol

 

[kingjones94]

Interesting

A good amount of Plaid vins have been given out. As well as a few deliveries to forum members I believe as well.

Too bad those are all going elsewhere in CA based on what we’ve seen. This forum the past month has been the Tesla Model X Plaid California waiting room .

Ole sawyer tweeting super chargers going up to 324kw - only vehicles that would support would be refresh S and X and model Y 4680 right?

Ole sawyer tweeting super chargers going up to 324kw - only vehicles that would support would be refresh S and X and model Y 4680 right?

From what i read in Reddit, the new Model S/X, will probably reach the 324, but only for a short period of time.

The explanation was that Model 3/Y, can only charge at 250kw for a short period of time, but Model S/X can stay at 250kh longer, so it should be abble to go over 250kh and maybe reach de 320kw.

I think it funy that it will reach 324kwh and not 320 ou 330.

So I picked up my Model X Plaid 6 seater two days ago. What an odd vehicle:

1 - Worst build quality ever. Panel gaps completely off. Paint drips everywhere. Corners are poorly welded and paint chipped. Every Prius that costs one sixth of that car is better.

2 - Interior seems nice - until you realize there is no cooled center console compartment for your drinks. The silly windscreen prevented these idiots from putting in proper interior lights at night - they shine in your back - but was it THAT hard to install a light in the a pillar? You can't see what you eat at night out of the drive through.

3 - White leather lends itself to interior accent or ambient lights in all colors of the rainbow - they would bounce magically off of all the white panels - ONLY THERE ARE NONE. At night, that thing looks like nothingness.

4 - WHAT A SCAM THE 'FULL SELF DRIVE IS' - long story short, the only thing it drives self is the car into a wall. IT DOES NOT CHANGE LANES unless you indicate (where's the stalk???) - it does not exit the freeway and instead gets confused EVERY TIME a lane is added to the road and violently jerks the steering left and right unable to make up its mind. It slows down randomly on auto disengage so the semi trailing you almost hits you from behind. THIS WHOLE THING IS A JOKE and a safety issue! They charge $10k for that?!! It's worse than the lane keep assist and cruise control on my Taycan; and even worse than the cruise control on my 2017 Range Rover that ALWAYS works.

5 - 'FULL SELF DRIVING' is worse than a basic cruise control with distance function! HOW ON EARTH can Tesla not just have a basic cruise control?!! It's FSD or nothing. Completely nuts.

6 - Range. Why on earth does the car show 280 miles range, and after you drive 100 miles, you arrive at your destination that should have around 180 miles range left with less than 60 miles?!!! The range calculation is inaccurate at best and criminally misleading most of the time.

7 - Recuperation. It's non-existent. True, the silly clown vehicle slows down like crazy the moment you take your foot off the accelerator (or the 'FSD' decides to quit on you - which it did EVERY SINGLE TIME I overtook a semi yesterday. BUT THE RANGE NEVER GOES UP, even driving 5 miles coasting downhill into Las Vegas from the mountains. WHERE DOES THE ENERGY GO???
8 - How it is even legal to have that crappy yoke is beyond me. At night, you WILL grip into the dark - only to find nothing. How is it even legal to put the indicator as a button on the yoke?! I'm no idiot - but I had to think which way to indicate.

Had I moved from a 96 Toyota Tacoma to this car, I would think it's the best thing ever. But having waited for this anomaly for a year is a joke. I could keep going - FRUNK?? How on earth do you close that without breaking the hood? Paint job on the undersurface is a joke - you can see where the spray didn't quite reach. Corners are poorly painted, if at all, and they are chipping already.

To charge $150k for this vehicle is theft of $70k. And even at $80k, this clown car would be overpriced.

It didn't help that the morons at the Tesla delivery center screwed a paper temp tag on the car on delivery day without so much as giving me a license plate frame with the $150k purchase; of course, the wind sheared off the temp tag on the first time on the freeway, so I have no tag on the vehicle now. Good riddance, I won't drive it anyways.

Well, I learned my lesson. For all those of you who need a vehicle to race down a drag strip every day going 0-60 in two seconds, this is your car. I suspect there is not a lot of folks out there matching that demographic.

For most of us, think twice before wasting $150k on a $80k experimental anomaly with poor build quality.

Maybe a little trollish here? In Aug you said you cancelled your order. Nothing but negative posts.

"This whole Tesla thing is a joke. I cancelled my Model X order back in April when it was apparent this is nothing but a scam. If you fancy yourself a car company - DELIVER THE EFFING CAR.
I drive a Taycan now - and boy, is that an amazing ride. I have an EQS on order - and both are actually nice inside and luxurious. Tesla is yesterday - As long as Musk is more focused on daydreaming and going to Mars than delivering vehicles, nothing will change. And all those morons funding this guy by pumping money in Tesla stock will have a rude awakening. Musk did not invent anything - electric motors and lithium batteries have been around for decades and centuries. To pack it into a vehicle with software brains is a short throw away from what was pre-existing, and Musk had his few years in the spotlight. Now, shoot the guy to Mars and move on with vehicles that actually exist and are built to the standards we have become accustomed to."

Did you not research or test drive a Tesla before you bought this one? I knew what I was getting into 2 yrs before I bought and took delivery of mine. The Yoke steering wheel took about 1 day to get use to. FYI you don't have FSD yet...... Did you apply for the beta and get in already? My car drives me to work daily. It changes lanes on its own and gets off exits on its own. When I picked up mine I had a real tag and license plate frame.

Only 15 2022 VINs on this list and 7 were Plaids.

 

[fetar30310]

Lolz.

My EDD went from January 23-29 to January 26-Feb 1.

 

[JER85]

Sounds like you’ve got a lemon or something as a lot of what you describe isn’t consistent with others experiences. Hope you can return it since you don’t enjoy regen braking (core feature of electric vehicles you seem to hate) and many other things.

Sounds pretty consistent to me. Most of these issues have been repeated over and over again by model X owners taking delivery…. This poor guy just happened to get all of the issues in his car at once…. But none of these are new. Tesla as a company just sucks. Their engineers are top notch and make the most amazing cars, but their customer service, production and logistics is atrocious

This reeks of a troll post, but I can confirm that #1 has been true with at least some X deliveries (I've personally seen one). Utterly unacceptable for any new car, let alone one at this price point.

My Plaid order placed in November just went from EDD August to Feb 3 - 24.
I never intended the Plaid to come before my June 2021 order of the Long Range X (EDD like everyone else with a placeholder of "March") , now I'm torn on what to do.
While the Plaid has my now desired color config, the extra $30k for 20 miles less range is not desirable. I placed the Plaid order thinking it may be a nice resale vehicle later on... now it may be my first chance to get back into a Model X.

Yeah, seems a little odd? Who calls it recuperation?

Somebody will take it if you don't.

I'm actually wanting my Plaid order more than my LR now haha. Based on my config, its a difference of 15 mile range. I believe when it was first offered, it was about 30 miles different and then they updated range estimates.

Don't feed the troll!!
