Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

Month is gone from app this morning

There's been a lot of discussion and conjecture related to Tesla's motivation on delivering 6 seat MX's. I spent some time on the MX order page today and observed what I consider as odd information. If you order a new LR MX the delivery date is January 2023, regardless of color, # of seats or wheels chosen. However, if you were to order a new Plaid MX the delivery date is October 2022, not January 2023, again regardless of color, # of seats or wheels. That certainly makes it seem that Tesla's priority is profit and not a parts availability issue.

I think both are true. No Plaids have been delivered yet but they will definitely priority them when they have the parts.

What’s the oldest order we have without a vin?

My January order is feeling lonely.

Just to add another data point. I didn't get a text or email along with my VIN yesterday and still haven't gotten one. Luckily, the VIN hasn't disappeared so far.

Weird
What’s your order date? We didn’t get a text in the first VIN we received and it’s the one that got yanked.. hopefully you don’t lose it!

Fellow Plaid reservation holders, pretty soon, it'll be just us here in the waiting room, watching tumbleweeds blow by. It'll get lonely. To deal with the insanity, we should share speculation on why the Plaid is delayed. Personally, whatever it is, I sure hope my car isn't built yet and sitting on some field of dirt. For all this waiting, we can at least benefit from the Refresh manufacturing learning curve.

In any case, my vote (and hope) is that we are getting the ceramic brakes they are talking about for the MS Plaid. On the flip side, if that's the issue, I can fully see Tesla extorting another $20k from us....

Based on this, I’m curious how many Plaid customers would keep the reservation if Tesla increased the price by 20k meaning you HAVE to pay that regardless of when you ordered.

what usually the ETA after getting the VIN?

 

[Stro]

what usually the ETA after getting the VIN?

Depends on your location.

 

[Stro]

My guess is that if you’re getting a VIN today, they will do everything in their power to deliver it to you this year.

taking delivery tomorrow!!! Does anyone have an updated checklist?

This was posted a few weeks ago. I’ve never owned a Tesla so don’t know if this is a good list or not but it’s something:
A. Verify pre-delivery vehicle records

* Check for the correct full name and address on your paperwork.

* Confirm the vehicle’s VIN matches your paperwork.

* Bring written or digital proof of your down payment having been made and the final payment details

* Bring a printed insurance card.



B. Exterior inspection

- [ ] Inspect body exterior paint for defects.

- [ ] Inspect vehicle underside (front and rear) for signs of scraping, or damage.

- [ ] Check for any obvious body panel misalignment, or gaps. Especially the frunk gap, charge port, front and rear lights flush with hood/panels, glass roof panels aligned, no leaks.

- [ ] Inspect wheel rims for damage, and that all 4-valve stem covers on tires.

- [ ] Inspect all glass for signs of distortion, scratches, or cracks.

- [ ] Check for proper windshield and windshield trim installation.

- [ ] Inspect all edges of the roof glass panel and rear window.

- [ ] Test all doors to ensure they open and close without unreasonable effort or sound. Check paint in areas such as door hinges, that are not visible when doors are closed.

- [ ] Test opening and closing of the trunk with auto-close button. The door should latch and seal automatically.

- [ ] Test opening and closing of the frunk. Check paint in areas that are not visible when frunk and trunk are closed.

- [ ] Ensure door windows auto-close completely when doors are closed.

- [ ] Check all front and rear exterior lights for signs of internal condensation.

- [ ] With all doors open, inspect the weather seals around door gaps and windows. NOTE: Some deliveries have reported seals being “overlapped” incorrectly. This is easily fixed by hand in a few seconds, but worth noting.



C. In the driver seat

- [ ] Check for any error messages on the display screen.

- [ ] Touch the “Tesla T” at the top of the screen to bring up the “About Your Tesla” window. Tap the unicorn drawing to access the Sketch Pad. Leave the Sketch Pad up for a minute to make sure there are no phantom touches happening on the display.

- [ ] Gently test the driver and passenger door emergency release.

- [ ] Check all 4 windows to ensure they open and close properly.

- [ ] Make sure AC/Heat works at full power without strange noises.

- [ ] Test the sound system to ensure all speakers are working (move fade/balance to all four points to verify)

- [ ] Test the steering wheel position controls to ensure proper operation.

- [ ] Press the center of the steering wheel to make sure the vehicle’s horn works.

- [ ] Check windshield for distorted view.

- [ ] Test the windshield wipers.

- [ ] Check side mirrors for proper operation of folding and position adjustment (minimal noise).

- [ ] Check sun-visor operation and mirror condition.

- [ ] Check the rearview mirror for any warping or distortion.



D. Interior inspection

- [ ] Inspect interior seat upholstery, door surfaces, dash, liner & carpets (including rear seats, frunk, and trunk).

- [ ] Check the windshield and windows for ripples in the glass.

- [ ] Check left and right clothing hook operation.

- [ ] Check all seat belts for proper operation.

- [ ] Both front seats don’t squeak when moving (check all directions of motion).

- [ ] Check the rear seats for proper fold-down operation.

- [ ] Try to lift the bottom of the back seat to ensure it is securely attached to its base.



E. Connectivity inspection

- [ ] Test connectivity in all USB ports (1 USB-A/1 USB-C in the front, 2 USB-C in the rear).

- [ ] Check 12-volt DC receptacle has power.

- [ ] Test connectivity of wireless phone charger.

- [ ] Music streaming & phone streaming work, radio reception is good.

- [ ] Test both key cards to ensure they work on B-pillar. Keep one key card on your person in case the phone app does not operate properly.

- [ ] NEMA 5–15 120v adapter.

- [ ] NEMA 14–50 240v adapter.

- [ ] Test supercharger on site.



H. Final items

- [ ] Ask your delivery specialist to make sure that your car is marked as DELIVERED in Tesla’s network. There have been reports of cars being delivered and the phone app doesn’t allow log in the following day.

- [ ] Make sure you have copies of all paperwork necessary for good documentation of your purchase, including a copy of your signed purchase agreement. If your delivery specialist suggests that you can get your documents electronically on your Tesla account, ask for paper copies you can take with you anyway
