That's awesome! Hope you get the VIN soon.
My order date is 3/15/21. So I still have some time before getting a VIN.

Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
My order date is 3/15/21. So I still have some time before getting a VIN.
We're ACTUALLY supposed to get a VIN?! I thought we'll get another EDD as February approaches.
Its been 10 days since I have accepted my delivery and there is not a single day I wonder how would any car in near future would be able to compete with Tech of model X. To name a few: Yoke steering, limited external buttons/vents, Falcon doors, super responsive display, immersive audio. Just a different League.
I happened to notice yesterday that Tesla does not currently offer extended warranties on Model X or S vehicles build on or after Feb 2021. It is on their extended warranties webpage.

Yes... I missed buying it - I have been out of warranty for about 1 year and have had one $500 repair...
I could buy the extended warranty just before my warranty was expiring in February (so, within 4 years, 48,000 miles)... I did not consider it until I had 53,000 miles... at that time it was just too late.
I am not sure if it is better to buy at the time of car purchase or to re-evaluate at the end of warranty... it also depends on your personal finances and what "hits" you can afford...

Third time owner with 2013 S, 2016 X and I love all the options for opening doors. My riders are mostly seniors and I have never had a door problem with them.
Just called Tesla to ask about estimate delivery day. She said it looks like my cat is scheduled to be in Pittsburg on the 29th. Cutting close for year end but I will take it. Hope it sticks
Like Santa mode with reindeer, Tesla needs to give us the option of showing non Tesla cars as Dinosaurs.
It would be awesome and very apropos.

I just got an interesting call from my SA, who confirmed that I wouldn’t be getting a VIN or taking delivery until at least Q1 (I’m a 1/29/21 original 6-seater order). But she said that since I was concerned about the Canadian luxury tax which was supposed to kick in January 1, I could switch my MX order to a Model S Plaid and take delivery before the end of the year. (In fact the new law hasn’t been passed yet so we may have a couple of months leeway on that tax.) I didn’t pursue that at all, so I have no idea what the pricing would have been for the Model S Plaid. The other thing she said was that the reason my trade-in request disappeared was that there was no point in them giving a quote for a trade-in until a VIN is confirmed, since the used car market is so volatile, but that I should call her asap when there’s a VIN and she’ll re-instate the trade-in and get a quote.
Wow, they will stop at nothing to unload more Model S Plaids.
This is why I feel like I’ll get my X Plaid almost immediately after they start shipping them. 2 months later, we will see dozens of them on the existing inventory page while orders from over a year ago will still be waiting for their LR 5-seater.

"Without breaking a stride"
The really underrated part of the X is the self opening/closing front doors. When you are holding two coffees in your hand and the door opens for you as you're walking up, you step in and press the brake and the door closes, its amazing. Same with exiting, if your hands are full and you walk away from the car with only the driver's side door open, it will close itself and lock. I know it sounds like a gimmick, but this is one of the main things I miss (besides autopilot) when we have to drive any other car.
Now, someone else on this particular thread had said that the luxury tax was still under review. I did find this locked article that it's been delayed so far as I can read it without going through a subscription: Delay in federal luxury levy is taxing the patience of Canadian dealers
This is the substance of the proposed tax: Consultation on proposed Luxury Tax - Canada.ca
Keep your fingers crossed that they twiddle their fingers into at least February and don't try to make it retroactive either.

I was thinking I may get my VIN today and then I realized that this is the real world and dreams don't come true
Parliament doesn't sit again until Feb so won't be until then at least.
I just got a VIN. Checked it and it is a 2022 with 26 miles. Order date 8/1/2021. MSM 6 seat FSD. Dunno if I’ll pay yet or do insurance since I haven’t heard from SA. Delivery still says February.
Called my SA for updated on my delivery. He said it's still in-Transit. No status changed, since I received my VIN (12/13).
Anyone know how long Transit takes from Fremont to East Cost?
