Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Fulkth]

I forget if you’ve addressed this but does the refresh have the double pane windows? Just on front or FWDs too?

How do I check? Is there a way to see through the refraction?

I googled Tesla Model X US sales.
In the attached picture 2021 sales stop in June so I used 2019/2020 average

@Fulkth .. thanks a lot for all these helpful responses.

I’m in a dilemma here, and I hope you can help me to resolve it. I do have model Y 2020 and the reason I am looking to purchase model X is that I am not happy with the road & cabin noise and ride quality, I don’t want to replace the car, pay more and get the same quality.

Would please update us in regards to these two issues, cabin noise on freeway harsh roads and ride quality?

I haven't been in a model Y besides seeing them parked. It's definitely quieter than my model 3, but I also have a 2018 and those are a bit louder than newer 3/y. Honestly it's probably similar to a Y even though being larger and bigger tires, but the ANC should help a bunch whenever they get it going. Suspension is way better.

Funny. Or not.
Teslas’ quality is like a fairy tale. A real one though.

Of course Musk has so many orders that if he loses a customer or two - no one would notice. Or a thousand for that matter.

But damn, this quality thing could be a deal breaker.
Personally i hate driving cheaply made cars.
If a car has a 100k sticker - this must be a top build. No flying roofs. No rattles. No missing pieces.

What am i missing here?

A lot

My opinion is that it’s something like this:

The difference is that Tesla makes constant iterative advances, pushing the car engineering envelope beyond anything ever attempted before. This means that among the amazing advances there will be glitches that you wouldn’t have if you weren’t trying anything massive. Other car companies have gotten really good at shimming to perfection… gluing and polishing… putting in sound-damping stuff… Nice, but not revolutionary. Lots of touch up and preparation.

Tesla is working on, oh for example, whole-car casting. Redefining what a car is. Redefining mass production. Meanwhile their iterative vehicles have occasional glitches, but by the time you get yours, they’ve already developed better tech. Already over time there have been less issues. The day is coming that suddenly Teslas will be these essentially flawless (but simple snap-together) vehicles printing out every second off the line, and the average person won’t ever know just what it took to get there.

It’s something to that effect, IMO.

I disnt see any we are building your car in my app. Just this.
And the website still shows tbd.

This is exactly what mine say. No building car, just schedule delivery appt and TBD

If you look at the edge of the glass you would see what looks like multiple panes of glass laminated together. If you can post a pic I can tell.

When did you order? I ordered Jan 27, 2021

 

[Niranga]

No, it was Feb 2020. Didn't the pandemic start in Dec 2019?

Yes, correct on pandemic. Wow, almost two year wait! I assume you delayed delivery on pre refresh MX.

Model x plaid is coming!!

Was this at a SC? Why would it be there other than for a delivery right?

Possibly an engineer's. At the service center in Superior, Colorado there is a small engineering team that works there. I have seen their pre-production X (with old silver cyberstreams) several times, pretty much every time I supercharge there.

I mean that kinda dont mean that. As it has silver wheels meaning it’s probably one that was made a while ago

Yeah, definitely a pre-production model used by an engineer

I personally think this means your car is one of those sitting in the field. So of course it’s not in the building phase anymore. And might be why your EDD is TBD…seems like good signs to me

Looks like 2 different pictures, one black handicap parking the other is blue.

I think all 4 windows are double paned:

 

[Fulkth]

Is the sound is better now on the speaker using the phone blue tooth connection?

Definitely better than my 3, I'll have to try calling some friends/family to see how well they can hear me, or have them call me actually so I can report on it better.

With all due respect, the body panels, doors, hood and hatch’s have not been iteratively revised. It’s sloppy Workmanship. Their software is constantly being revised iteratively but coming out of Freemont the body’s usually the same. The errors in paint and seam gaps are consistently inconsistent.

Thanks, my issues with my x 2018 was , people couldn’t hear me, but i can hear them good, even with noise in the cabinet. And yes the windows are double paned , can’t tell the for the back doors!
