Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Fulkth]

@Fulkth How is the second row on the 6 seater? I was asking because I herd with the pre refresh 6 seaters they were awkward because there was no armrest. is there any improvements what so ever?

It's pretty comfy I think? Still no armrest on the center, and I think the door armrest built into the FWDs is only slightly improved over the old design. I wish they had fold down armrests though, or removable ones.

 

[Fulkth]

Piggybacking off this. How about the third row? Do you think two average height adult can fit comfortably?

Yes but it would be cramped. I could easily do a long road trip in the third row by myself, but no more than an hour with someone else back there.

I understand that buyers want constant update on the progess of their ordered vehicles. Reality is that if Tesla can build 1 Million cars a year shortly, that will mean about 5 Million phone calls to be answered and researched to estimate ETA. Then another couple million calling back in to see why "their" car is not being scheduled on the exact date that Tesla previously estimated.
Pretty much Tesla production has so many variables that fixing a firm delivery date is next to impossible for every individual car. Makes sense for them to just go Radio Silence until the car has actually been produced and in route to the delivery center to reach out to the buyer to schedule and arrange delivery.

Reminds me of us kids sitting in the back seat constantly asking Dad..."Are we there yet". Usually the answer comes back with an unsatisfactory "soon".

Respectfully disagree with this assessment. Elon Musk's own words compelled a whole lot of people to sell their cars, apply for loans, extend leases, etc. as he gave the expectation that deliveries would occur in March or April. That has resulted in real world cost, not to mention a ton of aggravation to many, including myself.

We're on page 420.... just thought I'd mention that lol.

It does feel a little bigger but it might be me. Does anyone have measurements on their 6 seater? I've got about 6 inches from third row foot well to captain chair sliding area, 23.5 inches for the sliding area, then about 9 inches to the front row support pillars.

Did you ever get an answer to this? My 2016 X measured the same (including the 23.5" dimension you mentioned), so the refresh is not roomier, at least not in these places:

Kinda liking the new font!

Here's the old pre-refresh font for reference

Yes and no. I understand the uncertainty behind being able to properly predict when the vehicles will be made/shipped, however, there are issues that are hindering the process and nothing is being communicated to the buyers. For a lot of us, this isn't our first rodeo with Tesla. We've had MUCH better communication in the past (at least I have). It has now become nonexistent for the most part.

I agree. A simple blast email apologizing for the delay with a brief explanation regarding the issues they are having would likely appease the many. It is just common courtesy.

I was remembering the other day when they used to ofter the 6 seater with center console. I wish they brought this back for the refresh and made it removable.

 

[John in LB]

I just got an idea: can we just remove the 3rd row seat and put the boards back? I Wanted the 5 seat configuration... this idea would result in a 4 seater?

Easy to do?

Nah, I like the pre refresh font still.

Yours might be the 1st batch of deliveries in the NY area.

Sound tests on the highway, same stretch, 70 mph, all tires properly inflated, same app and phone (pixel 4a with Sound Meter app in Google play pass)
2020 Jeep Compass: 72 db average (both times, last time and today)
2021 Model X: 71 db average (The X has a db average of 55 at a stand still with 5 on the fan and recirc on for comparison)
2018 Model 3: 73 db average

Same, old looks better. Wonder why they changed it.

 

[neo1738]

Turns out the SA were wrong in telling me I could change to 6 seater. Called to see why account wasn't updated and told only those w order pre Q1 2021 can do w out paying 15k price increase.

That's so disappointing.

With the drop in range, the severe delays with no communication, and the limited sound dampening makes me question whether or not i should drop $100k on this car. The main thing keeping me from cancelling is knowing that I got it for $15k less than the current price.

That $15k instant equity is probably what will keep me holding on no matter how long this thing drags out.... I am secretly hoping for at least another price bump before I take delivery.
