Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
generally not till Sept. but my client owns a bunch of dealerships and he’s telling me he can likely get me an order slot for an April build late May delivery bc he has so many orders and certainly a small number of folks will drop out when they get their build slot… at that point my MXLR order will be almost a year and a half old and if it’s not arrived by then so be it … I hope it does!!
No, not at all. It is similar in terms of Tesla's MO of promised delivery time frame.
Oh of course … totally misunderstood… and I certainly hope it’s not as bad as FSD … Musk said in December “very likely” TESLA gets to level 4 in 2022. Not a chance that happens.
Yeah. It may be capable at that level but I think he would keep it at Level 2 officially for a while requiring all time driver's attention. Which is fine with me but please release it for general public use.
New orders of LR Model Y is showing a delivery date of July. For $250, I just ordered a Model Y. If they still have no hints of future plans by July for ever delivering any Model X's in the 5 seat config, I'll have that to fall back on.
-July 6, 2021 order X LR Blue FSD 5 seat
-July 6, 2021 order X LR Blue FSD 5 seat
This conversation doesn’t belong here I know but I’ll just say that where I really struggle with FSD is that it has to work reliably 99.9999% of the time. If it fails spectacularly once every 5 years, big problem. Musk thinks his silicon based neural network can attain a higher level of fidelity in this regard than a biological based one (that is, a human brain). I think the artificial network can be made to operate more reliably in most situations, but it cannot be made to handle the extreme tails (ie, when another driver on the road doesn’t something totally unexpected and a brain based system swerves without actually crashing instantaneously) with sufficient reliability. So even though overall it may be “2X safer” than a human driver, if it’s less safe in the tail scenarios it won’t be accepted and won’t be approved. Musk is not nearly as close to that hurdle as he fancies himself. IMHO.
My February estimated delivery date slipped to March this morning. Had to call to update some finance details and cancel my trade-in, and they explained that all Model X's being pumped out for the past several months are to clear a backlog of orders for the pre-refresh MX in Q3/Q4 2020, plus anyone they could get to switch to the 6-seater config. Non 6-seaters ordered in 2021 have not started production yet but will be "soon." Sales guy advised me not to put a whole lotta faith in March either, if I need to not be without a car. If you got a VIN for a non 6-seater from 2021, it's likely because someone who ordered in 2020 canceled their order or declined delivery.
Yea figured I would ask before making the call myself. I'll report back with my findings
No micro jerks, but tons of macro jerks. TONS of phantom braking.
Tesla Vision is just NOT ready production, yet here we are.
what is your configuration and order date? I don't really believe in what Tesla says at this point until there is a VIN assigned and the system shows a delivery date and time. They have been speaking all over.
So nobody with a refreshed MX LR 5 or 7 seater has taken delivery, has a VIN, or even a specific date range. Is that correct?

You have had VINs for 3 weeks with no delivery day set? Have they moved your EDD window?

I have a 2021 MY and the same issues. I agree about Tesla Vision. Lots of inclement weather this time of year in upstate NY and I am constantly getting warnings when driving that my car can’t see. Well no *sugar* it’s either a blizzard or raining a lot. Miss having radar.
So I had a 2017 Volvo XC90 T8i and it was a great car, comfortable, roomy but not a Tesla. Had some exhaust issues and the entire engine had to be taken out for the repair. Service was OKAY
We have had a 2020 M3 LR and it was great
Currently have a 2021 MY Performance and it's wonderful, I know the ride will be even smoother with our MX Plaid and we will use the Y as our normal every day car especially for scuba and SUP (have a roof rack on)
Are you thinking of Getting the Y and X you've ordered?
If it was me I would want those over your other options.
Our MX Plaid should be here sometime next week. we received a VIN last Monday with delivery window of 1/30 to 2/5.
Originally ordered 3/11/2020 Plaid 5 seat with 20" wheels, paid for the 6 seat upgrade last fall, removed FSD
I'm in Wellington, FL
They're using the fleet to train the model. This is a chicken and egg situation. Right now it seems the only requirement is that it doesn't kill you.
Not saying any of this is good, but that's what's going on.
Personally I think the yoke is brilliant and can’t wait to grab on to it. I am so tired of having to tweak the steering wheel position so I can see the entire ICD. Peering through the the top of the wheel is probably in the top five annoyances with my 2018 X.
I’m fine with FSD Beta. Each rev gets a little better. If I get annoyed with it, it is very easy to turn it off. sometimes I just use it with cruise (no destination set), because it very reliably honors traffic signals. It is nice to just sit back and relax, paying attention of course, rather than having to constantly move my feet. I’m anxiously waiting for 10.9 to drop on to my X. My wife got it on her 3 last week, so I’ve tried it, but stuck with 10.8.1 on my car.
actually works pretty well on our MY LR 1500 miles out of which 1100 hwy miles 90% on FSD 3-4 slowdowns for no reason and that's it.
Went up from LA to Yosemite and it acted great on straight roads and curvy hills
