Yep I speculated this as the real reason for delays a few hundred pages back. Why build a bunch of model X that have fit and finish issues that require a lot of manual labor to fix afterward versus building model S (even for inventory) that come off the line in pretty good shape? I think this is why there are some inventory model S right now too.

Happy Model X Owner
I think the RPM guy likes Carbon FiberRPM promises aftermarket steering WHEEL:
Tesla Model X Plaid deliveries are starting, and its first owner reviews are in
It took a long time, but customer deliveries of the Model X Plaid have started. And based on initial reviews of customers who have taken delivery of the vehicle, it appears that the flagship all-electric crossover is just as practical as ever. But this time around, the Model X’s practicality is...www.teslarati.com

Haven't seen a flyover in a while. Would love to see how the lot is looking...
Maybe i missed that post in these 700+ pages. I thought it all started because someone was wanting to trade two mid-2022 reservations with someone who had one that would be delivered by the end of this year.

Been lurking for a while and figure I’d join the board, after all misery loves company.
Quick rundown of my situation. I convinced my wife to let me fulfill a childhood dream and buy a Ferrari as long as she could get a Model X. We placed our order on 02/21/21 for a Model X Plaid with FSD. Like most we were originally told May, then July then moved to October. After October we were told to prepare for delivery. That lasted a few days until it was moved to December and now February. We never got assigned a VIN.
Your originally rep got moved to a different department. We’ve called Tesla and nobody ever gets back to us. Pretty frustrating to be spending this kind of money and the company cannot give you the time of day.
The wife has wanted to cancel the order and go back to a Cayenne. I’ve convinced her to stay the course and that in the end it will be worthwhile. Meanwhile we’ve been renting a car for over 6 months now to get her and the kiddos around.

My guess - based on these 700+ pages - is that these vehicles are missing parts, not fit-and-finish. In this theory, the individual cars are mostly complete, but are missing critical or highly visible parts, which are delayed due to the global supply chain slowdown. Once the parts are available, a tech adds them and the vehicles are delivered to customers.
Now, why is it too much to ask for Tesla to communicate with its customers... ?

Called Tesla, They unmatched me from my VIN because of the snow storm happening in WA right now. They can't transport the vehicle to WA so they are giving it to someone else that they can get it to, probably before year end. It's frustrating but I don't think I can blame them.Concerning.... VIN disappeared from my account

It‘s not too much to ask at all. It’s mostly a matter of how you handle it when the question itself also goes unanswered.

Seriously, we have enough of those in inventory. Let’s get the people that have been waiting a year their car before we build more to just sit around!They shouldn’t need to build anymore of those lol it’s literally 200 sitting in inventoryI wish the model x was like that

Glad to have another AZ one here. Bottom line this whole process has sucked major but once you get the car it’s worth it. My friend picked his up last night (ordered 3 months after me) and all I can say is the car is absolutely incredible. Miles better than my 2017 X.
If you have waited this long what’s another 2-3 months?
FOLLOW UP on Delivery……..OMG…..just received a call from SC Carlsbad (SoCal). Asked if we could take delivery TODAY………..WHAT is this really happening? Now have an appointment at 2:30pm to pick up our MX. we ordered March 5, 2021…
check our account this morning and nothing had changed. Now we have a VIN and a pickup time TODAY…..I’m still in shock. Merry Christmas to us! We will never forget this.
Absolutely LOVE our 2022 MX. it’s all everyone said it would be and MORE. TOTALLY worth the wait! Only one minor issue everything else was perfect. Even though SC was super busy on Christmas Eve, they came through for us and was very accommodating. We had carpet floor mats front and back, trailer hitch included, all windows worked, all seats worked, nothing missing. LOVE IT !!

PSA. I have been searching every day for Tesla OEM accessories. A bunch of them have been sold out but then come online for a limited window. This morning I searched for the NEMA Adapter Bundle which was sold out yesterday. It is in stock for $245! I have been watching them on eBay for $500!
