Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[retco]

Wow! Worse that SF Bay Area traffic or LA?

Only been to Austin and the drive was pleasant.

I used to live in the NYC metro area. Traffic there is awful. LA traffic is famously awful.

AUSTIN traffic is absolutely nothing (and far less traffic than Houston). The lack of stress on the roads is noticeable. Even when there is traffic, I just think back to all the years of endless delays and I'm grateful to only be delayed 10-15 minutes!

BOOM! Since I have a VIN and my car moved from 'February' to 'TBD' today, I decided to take advice from an earlier post, and while heading home from another errand, I stopped by the delivery center I chose for pickup (Colma, CA). There were ~ 15-20 new MX on the lot and from what I could tell, about half were Plaid models. I started nosing around, looking for my VIN, and I found my MX Plaid on the lot! It's still semi-wrapped in the white protective vinyl. I went inside to ask one of the SAs about delivery, and after checking a few things in the system, he said it had just passed inspection and needed to be detailed. Gave me a Friday 7 Jan 5:00p delivery slot

My EDD went back to TBD…

 

[IAMCCF]

Ready to pick up my LR X in a few days. The concerning thing to me is that the car is verified to have 128 miles on it. The car was assigned to someone else and now matched to me. Not sure why the original person did not take delivery (SA don't know why the first person did not take delivery).

1. can someone post a check list sheet on what to look for?
2. If there is something wrong w the car, should I take delivery anyways and sell it for a profit? I'll take the profit and buy a Plaid S.
3. I'm thinking if I reject the car I'll be back in the waiting list (probably wait another year).
4. I asked the SA about the $2,000 credit for ordering pre refresh model. but they "have not heard of that".
Any advice?

For no. 4 definitely fight for the $2k credit. That’s total BS.

We have one of, if not THE, widest freeway in the world yet still manage to have traffic barely moving.

Holy crap! Let's get some of those Plaids out to the Frozen Tundra (the giant land mass east of Los Angeles, otherwise known as the United States)!

Just a word of caution about using the app to make the final payment for your car. Per the suggestions of everyone on here, I am using DCU to finance $100K of the car and paying the difference in cash. I didn't know I needed to tell Tesla this and my car was just set up for cash payment. I figured I'd be able to click on "pay" in the app and select the amount I wanted to pay and have DCU send the check for the $100K. After linking the app to my bank account, I clicked on "pay" and the app just immediately paid the ENTIRE amount without asking me to enter an amount I wanted to pay or asking me to confirm payment. One-click and $155K was immediately submitted to be withdrawn from my savings account. I quickly called Tesla and they were able to reverse the transfer before it could be processed and they set it up for partial payment from DCU with the rest being paid by me.

So the simple moral to this story is if you are financing the car NOT thru Tesla, make sure your account is set up properly BEFORE clicking on the "pay" button or you will get a big surprise.

Wow, good to know. I was planning something similar. Thanks for sharing!

A checklist would be great!

In addition to the checklist, it would be wise to go over the list of known issues for the X refresh:

30 miles of Houston driving is like 300 miles' worth of stress elsewhere.

on my way to San Diego one day years ago traffic was so bad on the 405 I got a parking ticket.

WOW!!! I cannot imagine that every weekday!

Glad we started working from home 6 or 7 years ago. 2-year-old Model 3 with 4,500 miles. My commute to the office is 40 feet from the bed. My wife's commute is 20 feet.

Checked my account this morning and it showed TBD. Now it shows a VIn, but not on the app. Am I a VINner?

You are! That's the same sequence I went through. Took a while for the app to sync up. You should do like I did and go see if your VIN is sitting on the lot you chose for pick-up! I did that today and am on cloud nine!

Sigh....mainly a lurker, and eager one waiting for 7 seater deliveries to start. Still I believe we're only seeing 6-seaters looking at that very helpful spreadsheet that was created for all of us to track.

On a previous topic though, I'm from LA and my one visit to Houston for an interview a couple years ago really did shock with how much traffic there was. Compared to LA, also less alternate routes. In LA here, I can't imagine living without Waze and its alternate routes. So glad our Teslas have Waz...oh wait, for some reason they don't..very excited about a model X in my future, but with all this traffic talk, lack of Waze is the one thing I'm not looking forward to.

Yeah. I could have sworn I saw a tweet from Elon claiming that they'd be releasing an update for their maps to give you various options for your route and alert you for alternate routes in case of an issue. But never saw it. Maybe in two weeks it'll release.
