Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[lsds]

Meanwhile in the EU, while you talk of VINning in the USA, we dream of a Teslabot delivering our MX to us when Q3 2022 comes…AI, Robo drive, 1200km,4680 v2.0 built in Berlin, €60kprice(lower due to Berlin build) —- dream , dream, dream away folks…!!

Great to hear that cancelled Vinners are back alive!
Congrats.

Can you please tell me if you had in your account the old "Vehicle Delivery Configuration" document with the old VIN, until they assigned you the NEW one? I also lost my VIN, but still have that document in my account showing the old number. Thanks for your help

have old VIN on "Vehicle Delivery Configuration" (looks like it's a static pdf - will give 24hrs)

I’m buying this car for my wife and I’m genuinely concerned about her using the Yoke in an emergency situation. Car and driver has a really well balanced review of the Model S Plaid and talk about the practicality of the Yoke above and beyond it being a marketing stunt.

Tested: 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid Is Absurdly Quick but Also Has a Few Key Flaws

Tesla's monstrously quick 1020-hp Model S nabs multiple records, but is it truly great?

This really jibes with my general concerns. The fact that it was just put on there without a variable steering ratio further compounds my concerns.

Anyone else worried or couldn’t you care less?

The people that I have talked to that have actually used it say that you adapt quickly and it is not an issue.

You won’t see 5 & 7 passenger vin’s for a long time.

Any specific reason why you think other configs will take a longtime, also what is your definition of longterm. Really hoping it will be available by Q1 but would like to plan for alternative approach if you have any specific details.

Best we can even hope for is some active matrix headlights

More or less they've said so.. We've seen none of them and everyone seems to indicate that it isn't going to be anytime soon.

My 78 year old mom got the refreshed S in June and she loves it, she says the steering wheel in no big deal, her first electric car too

Good feedback, thanks!

For everyone who ordered the 5 seat option like me, maybe it's not that bad to wait just a bit longer since Tesla has to resolve build quality issues and work out some faulty parts. I remember the model y had to redesign some parts of the car 4 months after initial delivery.

Don’t be too hopeful. Most build quality issues are ones that have been ongoing since the beginning

When Tesla called me on Oct 12 to switch to 6 seats from 7 they made it very clear that if I did not take 6 seater I would be waiting until march or April for 7 seater. They also guaranteed me delivery this year and I currently do not have a VIN yet. Given these 2 pieces of info, I would not expect 5/7 seats before Q2 given they can’t even deliver on the promises they made on the 6 seats. Sorry, waiting is not fun.

I've been away for longer chunks of time this past week or so with business ramping up... but I saw this post that got mostly swept past...

There was a VINner and delivery on the West Coast outside of California!!! That's a big deal!
@EV_LIFE, I need you to declare something for me...

Thank you for that info.

I am one of the 5 seat buyers and keep telling myself the exact same thing you stated. It doesn't help , Saw a 6 seater at ATL SC that matched my color scheme this weekend. Beautiful car.

Arizona X deliveries will start in 2 weeks.

I wonder which is the higher priority/early delivery:
-early (Q4 2020 or Q1 2021) 5/7 seaters
-late (Q2 and beyond) 6 seaters

I ordered a 6 seater on June 10. Curious to see at which point they switch to 5/7.

Odds are they'll switch it if you get priority on those models. Then they'll produce the 6 seaters in earnest and have you wait for another few months.

As someone with a 5-seater on order as well I’d happily take the offer to upgrade to a 6-seat configuration if they’d just give me a ring. But alas having ordered in May I suspect that call isn’t coming unfortunately.

For those who have received delivery, did you guys get key fobs? or only cards?
I only got cards. Don't see any key fobs in glovebox or any other storage compartments.

I have no confidence that Tesla will meet my EDD of April. Just ordered a used MX to hold us until the new is available.
