Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
I agree with the geographical location. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my sister from CA got the call earlier this week. I (MA), ordered before her and didn't
I don't think so. My order is in Canada, which typically gets orders going roughly a quarter after the US. I received a call. Seems to be random.
With the S plaid launch thread, tesla did seem to prioritize new orders. Some put in a duplicate order and received the car on the new order, and cancelled the old.
I'm in the same boat, I have a 6 seater ordered on 4/10... Except I'm on the east coast
in my opinion there are 2 possible scenarios:
1 - They are making enough 6 seaters to fill every existing 6 seater order and then some so they are reaching out to other folks to try and entice them to change their orders to 6 seats.
2 - They are making a certain amount of 6 seaters and they are reaching out to those who ordered first to give them the option of changing and getting their cars earlier, this way they can't complain when they see those that ordered later getting their cars because its 6 seat.
In scenario 2 theoretically you can lose your spot and be pushed to next year if enough people who ordered before you convert their order
Make no sense. I am in California, January order, no call. Is there ever a rhyme or reason with Tesla.

As one who placed a six seat LR order on 1/27, I believe we don't require a call as we already have a six seater order. Why would they call us to ask to change from 6 to 6? It's a waste of time. Once they get enough to produce their minimum batch size, they'll do batches in order. i.e. white, black, red, etc. So just because you placed an order before me, for example, doesn't mean you'll get your car first. Just depends on where your configuration falls within the batch order. Keep in mind that priority will be given to the Plaid orders.
I suspect there is some "Tesla manipulation" going on. I don't necessarily agree its only for the top $ in revenue because 22" wheels are $5500 and thus far does not seem to be in the mix. And there aren't 3 colors in 22" wheels, that would easiest to manipulate. Those wheels are easier to manage vs 6 distinct seats with 3 color choices.
The reps were told to convert orders as production is now starting (some of us heard this week and others next week during calls). Its unlikely they have 6 seats available in black, white and cream for everyone that ordered an X in past 12 months. That's a lot of discrete parts! (5 seats are less inventory. Only 3 seat part numbers per color per vehicle for 5 seaters. )
Pre-refresh date folks with any seat combo don't seem to have any EDD's (with few exceptions) because they will get those out Q4 and into early Q1 because Tesla does measure order aging and production managers have to deal with those metrics. I don't think April 2021 orders with 6 seats will ship before a 5 or 7 seater December 2020 order.
In summary, if you ordered pre-refresh date, 6 seats give you a little priority but 5 and 7 models will be right behind them. That's what I am betting on and also trying for a 2022 VIN, don't want a 2021 VIN. I will defer that delivery even is I get a VIN next week.

I put in a Model X question for the Q4 earnings call as well:
click.pstmrk.it
"How many Model X do you hope to build in Q4? Will there only be specific configurations built or will you be able to cover all early reservations?"
I think we know the answer to that last part, but was wondering if they'd have anything to say about it.

I got "the call" and text from Tesla but no details in the voicemail other than to call back. I've called and texted both, however, no love! His voice mailbox was full so couldn't leave a message. Now he's out until next week. Don't think I want the 6 seat configuration based on all of the information about the 2nd row seats being fixed. My EDD is showing as January so don't feel like the juice is worth the squeeze! IMHO

I tried asking a question twice to see if Tesla and Say Technologies could consolidate questions so that don't answer the same question over and over again. Both of my questions were immediately approved and then quietly removed minutes later.

I’m afraid that you will be disappointed. Based on MS delivery, those who ordered later after the price increase receive theirs cars much earlier. There were even S available online for instant order while some are still waiting.

I don’t think it’s scenario 2. Some ppl who got the call ordered in march, april, june and more its all over the place.
