Yep. Right around the same time he took down Tesla‘s forum. Guess he didn’t want to hear all this noise…

Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Simple answer is: on YouTube just nicely ask the guy to do some zoom-ins on the X - usually they're receptive. Heck, the 2nd drone guy only started doing this in response to requests.
Congratulations!!I'm really happy with you guys receiving yours Model X, they are starting to ramp up production
Until last friday i was not in a hurry to get mine, but yesterday i got some amazing news, and i will need to get the car in the beginning of august, my wife is pregnant with our second child, my Leaf will become a little short, i hope Tesla can keep the promise of starting deliveries in Europe on the second semester hopefully in the beguining.
Now i'm not only expecting my Model X
Remember the first quarter the S was in production was under 2000 built, and the second quarter I think 9000… it doesn’t seem like the X is ramping any faster, but it’s plausible that it will be similar so around 2000 X this quarter and maybe 20k S&X combined in Q1 2022? Maybe 25k S&X in Q2, which is their stated capacity, right? The ramp sure feels slow while waiting through the start for VINs, but big picture I’m not sure it’s productive to evaluate or be concerned until 6 months in.
The good news is that delivery pace seems to be picking up a bit, so hopefully they’re over the worst of it for the LR X. If they can get the FWDs dialed in and start making plaids, we’ll be in great shape!
Heartiest congratulations and hope everything works well !! Hope they stay true to their commitment of Q2 next year or one-up it by getting us even earlier like they did for the Model Y here. All the very best to you once again!!I'm really happy with you guys receiving yours Model X, they are starting to ramp up production

Oh Great Oracle, do you foresee any VINs forthcoming for Canada in this latest round?
Now that’s the best news of all. Congratulations !I'm really happy with you guys receiving yours Model X, they are starting to ramp up production

@mattv123 I think this is key what you said here. The car arrived at the SC and they realized there are touch ups needed prior to delivery. This is good customer service.. where some other SCs get a new car and simply deliver it assuming all is well. It's interesting to see that there does not seem to be a corporate policy set in place across all SCs.So, late this afternoon I decided to take a stroll to my local dealership and look for my car… And I found it!
During my loitering I ran into and talked with two really friendly employees at the site. Some interesting details I thought all of us waiters would appreciate:
Here are some pictures I managed to snap, trying not to be too much of a paparazzi
- My car was one of eightXs to arrive today. The employees said this was by far the biggest single day shipment of the new refreshed X. Prior to that, there were only a “trickle” of cars, “less than 5” at that particular dealership since the model was released.
- While walking around, I saw white, red, blue, silver, and black. They all look absolutely stunning. I gotta say i love the cream/white interiors… but kids.
- One employee mentioned this is Tesla’s ramp up season / part of the quarter. “Things are about to get spicy”, with “delivery trucks usually waiting to unload into the dealership” in the coming week or two. So while I am sure this is mostly for the 3/Y, and not to get everyone’s hopes up, but it does seem like they are on the precipice of a step change in delivery cadence.
- They were a bit obsessed with ensuring a quality delivery of the X. “We had problems in the past, we’ve listened to our customers, so we really spend extra time on the inspections from factory to dealership.” He said they had actually already “failed“ several Xs already requiring repairs before being handed over to the buyer. Fortunately, mine was only missing some frunk liner, which sounds like is easy to get from Fremont.
- Looking at the cars they had tape all over the vehicle and writing + labels on the windshield. There were clear indicators of passed inspections at the factory (green stickers), and several cars had yellow stickers with identified problems hand-written. Mine had one indicating the liner was missing, and there was one other indicating a failed Falcon door.
- My car was diiiirty. Clearly mine was one of those sitting in the dirt out by the track! The employee said the only thing sitting between me and delivery was cleaning and buffing the paint a bit.
- #22covergate: I pointed out my car was missing the covers on the 22” wheels. He said that they are probably in the car and still need to be attached prior to delivery. He mentioned some specific other Tesla vehicle wheels are the same deal: they ship to the dealership requiring some final assembly there. For those that have shipped without the covers, they were probably forgotten…
- The Fremont factory is a 24/7 operation with shifts around the clock. Not sure if others knew that or not, but I hadn’t quite realized that until he said it.
- The two employees were really nice. Instead of telling me to get off the property, they were friendly and actively engaged. It was actually their suggestion to look for my specific car in the lot, and he offered to help! I mentioned how well the process seems to be going once I got a VIN (last night), but how poor the communication/expectation setting was up until that point His response was going back to their focus on quality, specifically citing all of the additional inspections. Reading between the lines, I think their added testing found more problems, resulting in delays to re-test and fix all vehicles etc. Hopefully it has the desired result and was not all for none with customers finding issues anyway…
Happy to share the experience!
On another note @Mako11 I added your issues to the issue tracking thread/spreadsheet. Just dropping that info in this thread again to help focus conversation
Congrats to both of you on your new cars!Wiki - Model X Refresh Issues Thread
The purpose of this thread is to document ongoing Model X Refresh issues (for deliveries on or after 10/16/2021). The first X refresh was delivered today! In the "X Refresh Waiting Room" thread I started an open Google Sheets document to track orders that received over 130 responses and...

Asheville here so we also drive about 2 hours for pick-up. Ordered April. White/Cream/5 seater FSD
I’m gonna go with late January, a couple will roll out with the bulk of early people who ordered February. The earliest estimated delivery I’ve seen is January & most of those got pushed back to February now. I’d be stoked to see one Plaid roll out.

2018 M3 LR. 2022 MX 6 Seat LR - [1/14/21 Ord]
Mine is the same. I was an January 14, 21 order, but it now shows January 29th when I accepted the new pricing.
Same for me. Originally ordered 1/9/21 but refresh update of 1/29/21 is what my order agreement shows.
Hi Bruce,
I have picked up at Fremont Deliver Center and Dublin SC. And I prefer Dublin. The Delivery Center has dozens of people armed with checklists and questions about the paperwork, how does this work on the cars, ....? They are trying to move people through in batches of an hour or so windows. But after the first group or so the queue gets long.
In contrast, at the Service Center, we were the only people picking up our car that morning. The person we were working with personally walked us through the car and then left us alone to inspect the car and try things out. We had a couple of minor things and that same salesperson coordinated everything, such as someone coming out to clean little areas of dirt. It was a much slower-paced and more relaxing process.
Same here, my order date shows 10/12/21, which is the day I accepted the switch to 6 seats for “guaranteed delivery this year”. The only reference to my original date is that it shows I paid my $100 deposit on 10/29/20. I know they have more internal data that clearly shows order date because it’s never been an issue.
All Tesla and most other EVs get them. Regen braking means no pad to rotor contact to knock of the rust that naturally forms on the rotors from condensation and splashes. Also means your car will make some scraping noisy on winter mornings when regen is low and for the first time in a while, the brake pads will touch the rotors and scrape the rust off. It is nothing to worry about.Hmm, rusty rotors?
