Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Wooly1]

Eh.. I get rental cars regularly right now.. cause you know, no Model X for 354 days now, and they've always had CarPlay, and wireless CarPlay. Candidly, I sorely miss my M3 interface..
Apple Maps is not good in my area, Google Maps continues to seem glitchy and sometimes will show the step by step on the phone, but not show the map on the car. I use Spotify and Apple Music, so I do like Apple Music integration, but will give Tidal a shot once my car finally arrives.

And for the roughly 40% of Americans without an iPhone, that doesn't necessarily help to just have CarPlay without Android Auto..

To each their own, but I would bet that of the people buying and driving Teslas, 85-90% are using iPhones.

...or using that space for a powered fridge / freezer like I and others in this forum have been doing. Makes road trips that much more special!

That’s pretty cool, except I need seven seats. Maybe I could put it in the back? Do you have a model/brand or link to that?

My reservation EDD went from February to TBD today.

Order date: January 29, 2021
Order number: RN11444
Config: Plaid Red/White with Carbon/6 Seat/22"/No FSD
Location: New York

I went from TBD yesterday. To February again today.

Called the Tesla 888-518-3752 number and talked to Ben today on my 1/14/21 order. He didn't mince words that it's very sporadic where deliveries have been and minimal. He told me not to be surprised if my February EDD now gets updated to March in the coming weeks and that they expect February into March to be full production ramp and larger delivery figures.

Million dollar question: Does he actually know anything? Nobody knows. He was about the most confident sounding one that I've gotten any answers from before though, but could just be a REALLY good BS-er.

My guess since your a Plaid that VIN is coming soon! I had about 9 days of TBD prior to getting VIN

Just got the call offering me 6 seat config for no extra charge. I made a it a point tell him that I would pay extra just to keep the 5 seats and explained all the ways that 6 seats are suboptimal over 5 and 7 configs. He said he really appreciates the feedback and will pass it up. Obviously it's not going to do anything short term but if enough people complain and vote with their wallets after the demand exceeding supply ends, perhaps they'll bring back the other configs.

 

[Wooly1]

Yea, seems to be fixed, but with so many anonymous entries, I am not sure if it can truly be fixed. Anyway, yea, seems like all 6-seaters so far.

Love the dashboard. Good info. Repost on occasion with updated info if you can and…….dont forget to Fight On!

I was surprised how bad carplay was in a rental recently. I thuoght I liked it but I really do not. It was a relatively new Kia. I found all the "must use the car to manipulate the phone" limitations pretty frustrating.

 

[daftskunk]

CarPlay is the most important infotainment feature today. Every car should start there and then add on what they want. Tesla not having it means they will always be a step back in that department. They have done some amazing things with tech but are missing the boat on Carplay

Every car company should offer both Android Auto and CarPlay, imo, including Tesla, but even more of a no-brainer for all of the legacy companies given how much of a crapshoot their infotainment execution typically is.

I have a Plaid 2/20 order that was Feb for awhile then TBD for two weeks and then back to Feb for the last two weeks. It just changed back to TBD this morning. I have given up on TBD as a good thing.

Is there confirmation and proof of this happening?

To each their own, but I would bet that of the people buying and driving Teslas, 85-90% are using iPhones.

I have no idea what the Tesla iOS/Android user split is...but...I would expect it to reflect the split in overall users which in the US is approximately 59% iOS and 41% Android. When you consider worldwide it's 70% Android and 29% iOS.

Whoa!! What refrigerator/ freezer is that?! I want one! Please share the dimensions too, so I order the right one. Thanks in advance!

This doesn’t hold true within certain demographics at all. The company I work for that I’m privy to the stats for - we have 85-15 split for our mobile apps in favor of iPhones and we are in over a dozen countries.

So....
Did you make a deal with the devil, or are you going to opt for the non-plaid?

I accepted the order. At the very least if I change my mind later on I'll have reservation worth real money that could get someone ahead of the line paying just MSRP and I'd still make me $6500. Not my goal though. I'm really hoping something changes by the time October rolls around and that they'll offer either 5 or 7 seat configs again.

I'll bet the base price goes up at least one more time by then as well.

+1 - another example (and potentially relevant to this specific demographic) is the enormous disparity in spending on apps between the two ecosystems. iOS users spend disproportionately more on apps - both in terms of outright purchases but also subscriptions and in-app purchases, hence why most developers typically focus on iOS apps first. One could surmise that the average income level of iOS users is higher than that of Android users, too.

You know what they say about people who assume.

That’s not a delivered model

It's also only a foreign showpiece. Foreign markets don't get S and X for a while so they can show them future stuff without Osborneing.
