Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

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

What about the brownout stains!!!

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

The only thing that has been a problem has been the blue jean/scrubs transfer

I see, true, the good thing is you can always decide if a PLAID VIN gets assigned to you whether you want to continue with it or decline it an stick with the LR. Your thoughts on Plaid getting a price bump I think is very reasonable considering the price of the S Plaids we're seeing now. Even if they don't transfer your deposit over, it would be super nice if they did, the 250 loss isn't that hard to swallow, if a car comes in months earlier.

Im curious, is there any other differences in Plaid, I.e. design, suspension, etc, other than the extra motor and carbon fiber interior bits? The torque vectoring does sound cool as its currently present on my current Acura SUV and is does help at times when you push the car with handling when accelerating around corners.

This is exactly what I did.

what are you going to do with your PLAID? Especially if your X LR gets VIN'ed

Haven't taken delivery yet, thus haven't paid, so still have options.

I just added FSD to my order. Figure increasing my price may help me. Once I get a VIN I’ll ask them to remove it. Watch me get sent to the back of the line.

No risk of that! It's hard to go back behind the last person!

More serious nore: I had FSD on my Y, deleted after VIN assignment. Didn't have any impact on my delivery (which is on Sunday...)

This is perfect! That's what I wanted to hear. Lets hope this pushes me up the queue.

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

it was on auto trader, the listing disappeared after a day so I guess it was sold. think about it...plenty of buyers with deep pockets who are willing to pay to get it right now

 

[John in LB]

I legit considered getting a part time job with the Nashville store as a SA just to get more info on my delivery, escalate my order and then quit after I got my X

You would need at least 2 Masters degrees to get that job!! And it will definitely suck a few IQ points out of your brain!!!

so I scooped an inventory model S refresh. My Model X LR has an EDD of February 2022 like everyone else (ordered April 2020). White/white/5 seat. I'd actually be paying 6k for more the Model S than the Model X. I'd like to possibly use the S until the X is ready then sell the S, but I'd like to not lose a lot of money. Ideally sell for at least 101k. Anyone have thoughts on this?

 

[Stro]

Oh snap. We'll see what the new range is soon. May jump ship from the X.

You're having to pay sales tax on the S I assume, yeah? That must be a decent chunk of change in the Bay Area, no?

Isn't it 7.25 vs 6.25 for us?

correct. So yea due to me getting the X earlier and the current price of the S, including taxes and everything I'd be paying 6k more for the S right now than my X total

I would think the opposite…..

6.25

 

[alexargo]

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


I believe the man to ask is @studioloft

Translation: It’s bigger/weighs more and uses more energy. Like someone else said, it’s all about how many miles a certain amount of energy will get you.

Plus, it adds a nice patina for that “artsy” look.

That’s nuts. I know people have deep pockets but I can’t believe they are willing to blow nearly $50k

Same, I had a Big Red soda spill in my lap. like the entire LARGE soda and it left zero spots after wiping it up. And I have two kids as well.. no issues at all and ordered the white on the X cause of this.
