Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[geometro]

i don't think 5 or 7 has armrest either unless something changed. The new S has armrest with wireless chargers but I don't think anyone has any details on the X 5 seater having it.

Good point… my statement was an inference based on the refreshed S. Don’t see why that wouldn’t make it to the X, but I know nothing

Just realized that the 6 seat is 6,500… that’s absolutely absurd considering how uncomfortable those second row captains chairs are without any arm rest… I do love how open and airy the cabin feels with our 6 seat co figuration but it just isn’t practical.. especially at a cost of 6,500

The fact that these seats don't fold flat is the most colossal messup Tesla did w/ the X. It's called S-Utility-V for a reason. What's the utility in hauling stuff if the seat doesn't fold flat. I thought w/ the redesign the seats would of fold flat. I'm holding out for the 7 seater.

My theory is that the only people getting calls are the people who didn’t order a 6 seater. If you DID order a 6 seater then they would have no reason to call you As it seems they’re starting production with the 6 seat configuration first. Chime in and let me know what yall think

Agree

It seems that everyone who was contacted today was a pre-refresh order, except for one plaid order which was later.

My order was pre-refresh 1/23/21 and I didn’t get a call. But my configuration is already a 6 seater though

I have a post-refresh Feb. 13th LR order and was contacted today. They do seem to be going in order, that's good news. They did say clearly if I switched from 7 to 6 I would get it this year. I declined.

Ok so this may make my decision.. hopefully someone has an answer?!?! In my mind the 5 seat configuration will be faster due to a lower vehicle weight vs 6 or 7 seats.. am I crazy or does this make sense? Cuz I’m definitely not paying 6,500 for a seat configuration I didn’t want that will also make me car slightly slower than a 5 seater

The key word is not faster (top speed should be exactly the same on flat land.) Rather, it will
accelerate a tiny bit more slowly. I am assuming it's 100 lbs more (about 2% increase in weight),

Same. 1/8/21 order and didn’t get a call presumably because I already ordered a 6-seater. LR/White/Black/6 seater/20”

Okay so that confirms it. Plentyyyy of people have gotten calls today. Doesn’t matter if its Plaid or LR. If you got a 6 seater configuration you could expect delivery this year. Which is great news.

I’ve been following this thread since day 1 but never posted. I’m one of the anonymous entries on the tracking spreadsheet.

LR/White/Black/6 seater/20” - ordered 1/8/21

Why on earth would they start with six-seaters?

Same with me

It's the most expensive seating option. Tesla has a history of shipping the highest profit margin models first to pad their financials - since they are shipping fewer cars during the ramp, ship the most expensive ones first so the revenue number will be larger.

Another thought... In the Model S Refresh issues thread there is a problem with the back seats rattling. Assuming that the 3-person seat in the 5/7 seat configurations is the same seat as the Model S, they may be re-working that part and so are delaying the 5/7 configs until that re-work is done?

Plaid, 7 seater. Ordered last year and no call.

Historically, us bay area orders are at the very end of the quarter. They start east and work their way back, it's easier to coordinate end of quarter numbers with local deliveries.

interesting..maybe thats why I got one of the early Plaid S. I wouldve thought it would be the opposite..get to local deliveries first

 

[EV_LIFE]

Same with me

same here too

hope that is not the case now

Maybe I’ll wait for a 7 seat since hopefully the issues will be worked out by the time they get to those

Though I have a feeling I’m going to get a call about a 6 seat switch soon (with a large dog, a 6 seat is actually perfect). The only reason I ordered the 7 seat is resale, center armrest in the rear bench, flat cargo, and 3rd row HVAC which is included in the 6 seat anyway.

Do you know if 2nd row bench has an armrest now? It didn't used to
