Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[zk19]

I have a Tesla Wall Charger installed in my garage and have noticed a slight increase in charging speed vs. my 2019 MX P100D. The old X, reliably charged at ~30mph using this wall charger. My 2022 MX Plaid charges at ~34mph using the same charger.

When you say increase in charging speed, it’s not really charging any faster. It’s delivering the same amount of amps. The higher “speed” you see is just the more efficient motor getting more miles out of the same amount of electricity.

The third motor will allow for Torque Vectoring which should be pretty cool.

And let's not forget these three motors feature their new high-pressure carbon-sleeved rotors. Motivation for the Plaid is a technical tour de force.

Also the battery in the Refresh is smaller so it will charge faster as a percent of battery than the older ones.

One more minor thing to add to the list differentiating the Plaid from the LR would be the subtleties in seat design. My Plaid MX has black piping on light colored seats. I believe the LR MX doesn't.

Thank you for posting these pictures! Can you tell us how is the driving experience in MX Plaid? I've seen so many videos of S Plaid and I wonder if X Plaid is as fun as S Plaid considering the extra weight and shape. How is the handling especially when in lowest ride height settings and in Plaid/Sport modes?

i believe the Long range will also have black piping. Only the white and cream have contrast stitching.

It would be too much work for them to have 2 diff versions of seats

+1 to the latter point - I was going to make the same, that the MX Plaid will be such a (comparatively) lower volume product, I would be shocked if Tesla would produce different seats between the two trims. It would go against everything we've seen Tesla do already in pursuit of supply chain efficiencies (ex. changes in paint colors, simplification/standardization of trims across models, etc.).

This is why I hesitate for the Plaid since I don't think I would appreciate what carbon sleeved rotors and torque vectoring add to the car so it almost feels like its out of my league with what it offers

@Stro Can we change the order sheet so the current EDD includes year now, to match th updates to the website?

i made the mistake of ordering my plaid S with black seats as it didnt have contrast stitching. So i ordered the X with cream to get it. Also cream isnt offered on the 3 and Y

Yes, I meant I don't see Tesla offering different seats across trims of the MX.

no need to worry about the $250 order...I saw someone who listed a 2022 X LR for $149,000 and it was sold in a day...take delivery and make some extra cash

Where did you see that and how do you know it actually sold?

yup i understood what you meant..i was just talking out loud in my thought process on ordering cream seats after my mistake on the black seats

I would love to have the lighter seats... But I've got four kids and a big smelly dog.

Interesting. So it charges slower than my M3 (42mph).

I believe the man to ask is @studioloft

I wear jeans everyday so I stick with black in my Tesla since I hear the upkeep on the white and cream is a lot of work to prevent permanent jean marks.

 

[cwang089]

i've had Tesla white seats for 5+ years...hasn't really been an issue even with 2 kids. They spilled watermelon juice on the seats but wiped up except for the cloth portions between the seats

This is why I drive in the nude. Keeps the seats clean.

It's partially hype - and hard to gauge. I think that many of those cars have been sitting there for months now, so this is just accumulation over time. Hopefully we see movement but that's so hard to see unless you really look to see if there's changes to that collection of cars on the test track.

We definitely saw previous footage where almost all cars were cleared out. This footage reflects cars of the past couple of weeks.

Personally, I am more concerned about the severe misalignment issues of the cars being delivered. The FWDs are the key to the whole car... hard to adjust in the field, and will result in failure of the rubber gaskets in a few years.

While I would like my car sooner... I don't really want a rushed through piece of junk either.

Not with p and p. LOL

 

[cwang089]

don't worry...even if they slowed down, the FWD will be a crapshoot. You learn to live with it...they leave it to service centers to work on
