Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[NGKempf]

A friend ordered an X Plaid on December 21. Has delivery window of the next 2 weeks.. asked SA and at least he was honest about it, but doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

I’ll be fighting them when I pick mine up next month to remove the charge since I was one of the ones who got the call to switch and get the vehicle sooner

Only if it's a plaid than yes I would definitely argue. If LR than no point.

I only count 4 LR VINs issued since January 6th. Did I miss anyone?

Anonymous 1/13/22 NJ 1/27/2021 Black/Black

Slevit1md 1/16/22 OR 1/27/2021 White/white

Yliu7376 1/19/22 OR 2/3/2021 White/white

Mermaan 1/22/22 MA 2/9/2021 White/Cream

I believe the original posted who got a VIN and the subsequent post were both Plaid

I'm betting that replying to customers (by email and phone) for "is it here yet?" queries is probably making up 70% of Tesla SA's jobs right now.

That’s bunch of “sweetener” if you ask me… I have a plaid on order since the dawn of times (1/9/21), and my delivery window got pushed to March today.

Oh Tesla, Tesla…

We’ve already had other members try to fight that to no success.

I’m pretty close with one of the higher ups.. I’ll let you know what he ends up being able to do about it

Well crap. My EDD just moved UP from April to 2/9-3/2. I still have 3 months left on my XC40 lease. My fear is getting an EOQ car so looking ok there. But if it slips I want to wait until April.

 

[cwang089]

for long range guys that got pushed into 6 seat. You still have the option to refuse delivery and change back to your original configuration. I think it would be tough to take delivery of the 6 seater AND ask for a free upgrade especially since the LR is still allowed to be ordered in 5 and 7

Tesla allows you to put your order on hold. from my experience, when you are ready you are pretty much in front of the line again

Well, I got my VIN on the 17th, but still no word on delivery. Like everything to this point, just more waiting, and no one seems to know anything. When I spoke to Tesla on the 18th, they said the vehicle should be loaded for delivery the next day, and arrive in Portland in a couple days. As of today, it’s still apparently just sitting in Fremont and they have no idea when it’ll get on a truck. Delivery window estimate is 1/25 to 2/4. Based on how well they’ve handled everything so far, I’m guessing the actual date will be sometime shortly after 2/4. It continually amazes me how poor tesla is at logistics.

And, right on time, they have moved my estimated delivery dates back! Who could have seen that coming?! It’s now 2/1-2/11. Apparently, even though the car is already produced and I live in a bordering state; they still can’t get anything done on time.

Let me know if you get anywhere. So far I haven’t. Still waiting for a delivery date. Got my vin on 1/17/22

I have read about that but I don't see an option to do that in my account. Do I need to wait until a VIN is assigned?

In this case it could be completely out of Tesla's control. It's been mentioned before but I think we all underestimate the impact of the lack of truck drivers plaguing our country right now. Also, didn't Cali implement some big restrictions on what trucks can operate in the state (or was that just the ports)? That could also be limiting the availability of trucks to deliver vehicles.

Ordered 1-28-2021
spoke to my SA who told me that in reality my car would most likely be delivered this summer.
I am in Montreal, Canada. I currently have an estimated date of march.

Not surprised, but disappointed. I'll be contacting my SA about this on the 1 year anniversary (same as yours), even though I did convert to a 6 seater for "promised 2021 delivery". I doubt we'll even get any guidance from today's Tesla report beyond "it's hard to manufacture" crap yet somehow there's people here who get deliveries despite their orders being significantly later. Crickets from Tesla except when they want something from you.

I've put an order in with Rivian. If/when Tesla delivers and it's not up to snuff, I'll just walk away and be done with it - 18 months is beyond ridiculous.

from my experience, tesla will call you to setup a pickup date. If you just ignore the calls and emails they will put it on hold. OR I have also told them I'm not ready and they will put it on hold. But wait for it to have scheduled date before doing it...at least in my experience it keeps you at the front of the line when you are ready.

As we anticipate the momentous page 1000 coming soon, this little bit from a favorite Smith song is dedicated to Tesla:

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

Just got the text to schedule delivery! All set for 10:30am on 2/4/22 West Palm Beach, FL

In true Tesla form the appointment confirmation states a Black on Black LONG RANGE for my PLAID order - ha!

Here’s hoping the fit and finish is perfection and all components are accounted for!

If anyone has any pull to get the $6,500 back I paid last fall switching from 5 to 6 seat to get priority delivery before end of 2021 PLEASE reach out. My SA has only said NO and the call to Fremont only deferred to my SA.

Original order 3/11/21 B/B/5 20” Plaid FSD, changed to 6 seat for $6,500 after the call last fall, removed FSD in Dec.

Hey guys, my delivery is scheduled for Saturday from 8am-12pm. I called yesterday and the latest update they provided was there was a list of 10 things they needed to adjust/correct before confirming delivery. They actually updated my delivery from Fremont to home delivery. I was quite surprised because when I originally ordered the car, the only delivery option was Fremont. Odometer reading on the MVPA updated from 60 to 64. I got the text this morning taking me to scheduling the appointment.

Order Date - 07/14/21
Black/Black Plaid, 22s/FSD
VIN - 1/4/22
Delivery Scheduled - 01/29/22

I'll do a thorough check when they complete delivery and will post pictures as soon as I can.

First some honest feedback from the SA in a long time. Typical Tesla. They will go for the expensive models first. So it seems March is just a placeholder and expect that to change for a few more months.
