Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Pdubb]

Ok, for the record. Is "Jokers" considered name calling? I need to know for my message board lexicon.

 

[LL#2]

I don’t believe I spoke with any member of the staff at the SC where my car is but rather calling the customer support number who “said they spoke with someone there” which I find hard to believe, so I misspoke. I’m going down there today to ask them a more realistic timeline of when I could at least expect to set up a delivery day.

I do

That really SUCKS...

Ouch

 

[Shac86]

THIS.
When we got our Model Y, the next few days were perhaps the most painful ever as we waited for it to get wrapped/ceramic coated.

I mean, AGONIZING. I’m trying to figure out how to prepare for this. Like, when I drop it off for PPF etc, tell myself I just haven’t received the X yet and I just imagined it?

Yep gonna hold my excitement until I get it back! Will only have it for 30min until I drop it off

Lol... Apparently you didn't see my sarcasm font

Don't worry, one day we'll all meet up in a nice warm room that has padding on the walls and we'll each get a gift of an extended long sleeve jacket.

I thought it was more like if you take the blue pill you get an X and if you take the red pill you continue to drive a ice car.

You know, I know my X doesn't exist. I know that when I drive it, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is fast and comfortable. After the last year, you know what I realized? Ignorance is bliss.

Just please don’t unplug (see what I did there?) those of us who are trying to find the real life X.

I have a feeling this week there will be a Christmas miracle of VINS.

 

[NGKempf]

I paid for my refresh in full in March. When production did not start imminently, I asked for my money back several times. Tesla told me that would require cancelling my order and putting me at the back of the line. I was told I would be first to receive my X so I held fast. Now someone with the exact same configuration and delivery center already received their car. They ordered a month later than me. I'm still TBD.

Keep your money until you're looking at a set of wheels.

I’m a bit genuinely curious.. how did you pay prior to a VIN? And why? I’ve never seen Tesla even having pay options until a VIN is assigned.

If you have FSD, you either let it do it when it wants, or you have it prompt you and you agree to it with the turn signal.

Sorry, I don't have FSD, only autopilot. When I want to get in the left lane, I pull down a stalk and the car moves into that lane. When I want to get back in the right lane, I push the stalk up. In my new X, whenever I get it, I wanted to know how to accomplish these lane changes. I heard that autopilot doesn't change lanes by "signaling" a change.

Sounds like you are describing Enhanced Autopilot (EAP). That was an option I had on my 2018 and it changed lanes as you describe. It is no longer available and the only way that I know to the auto lane change capability now is Full Self Drive.

As pointed out, you appear to have had the Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) package. This option was discontinued and the functionality called "Autopilot" was made standard on all vehicles, which is primarily lane-keeping and traffic aware cruise control - but not lane changing. The lane changing is in the Full Self Driving package along with Summon, Advanced Summon, and the city street self-driving functionality in limited beta.

So any Tesla you buy now will not have lane changing unless you buy the FSD package.

Hope so. Given Tesla's trend, hard to imagine.

You are right in that the blue pill will get you an X... unfortunately, the red pill just takes you down the rabbit hole... where the words TDB, VIN and Delivery are floating around you... but you could never grab one... they are just out of reach!

 

[KidsEyeDr]

You know you’re spending too much time on the Tesla forum when the words “yakkodot” and “focher” randomly pop into your mind

 

[mattv123]

Are your windows tinted??? Did they come that way, or are you just super fast to the tint shop?

Not tinted! Completely stock…

 

[mattv123]

Looking great! Thanks for sharing. I have autopilot on my 2016 X but understand "lane changing" is going to be different. Can you tell me what specifically you do to change lanes?

Basically I press the accelerator to best match current speed and turn on the signal. This disengages autopilot then i make the lane change, the re-engage.

Correct think some ppl are confusing the two. Regular AP w out the FSD package won't change lanes. When you hit turn signal AP lane keep turns off only have TACC. Move over and you can turn AP back on.

AP w the FSD option (not to be confused with being in the beta) just the option/subscription you put a blinker on w AP engaged it will look for an opening and move the car into that lane automatically. If you use Navigate on AP (again w FSD option) you can set the car to automatically go around slower vehicles on multi lane roads. (ie it suggests a lane change and unless you hit blinker or tap cancel it will automatically change lanes).

Hope this clarifies.

For what it's worth, with the latest .44 software the amount of force on the steering wheel it takes to auto-cancel lane keeping is much lower, slight tug and you're through the resistance and into the next lane. On previous versions of AP it would take quite a lot of force to cancel the lane keeping with steering input (and thereby maintain cruise speed with TAC on and lanekeeping off during the lane change). Nice improvement that they didn't really talk about in the release notes at all.

My lanekeeping never auto-cancelled with the turn signal. You always had to also grab the wheel and turn it, or disengage everything with the stalk

Yep I’m never getting my car
