I don't think *any* of that is nit-picky. They need to take care of everything. All except the gloss trim looks easily fixable. Not sure what they'd have to do to get the glossy trim right. Looks like something smashed into it. That sucks.
Six years later and people still have not learned that you never buy the first 6-9 months of a new or refurbished model.
Except these issues are nothing new and are unrelated to being a new model/refresh.
Thanks for your thoughts on the 6 seater switch. Of course I took the deal but I am still grousing over their paternal attitude and we know what is best for you approach. Reading your comments and going back over the forum for other insights during the upgrade to six seats and get your car sooner debacle, I actually feel better about the outcome. I too have a pickup, albeit a semi antique 1978 one, And I obviously do use that for plywood and lumber and such and not the S. Not really planning the sleep over’s either.Thanks again for your detailed reporting and this perspective.
Um what now…

Haha me too, just got the "2022" appended to February sometime this evening! It wasn't there around lunchtime. I'm so glad they are so certain it will be Feb this year, b/c I was certain it meant Feb next year

When charging with the Tesla Wall Connector or at the Sueprchargers, the car displays the voltage, amps, and mph as in miles “added to the battery” per hour. Motor efficiency is not used in this context.
The Refresh X has the higher energy density Panasonic 18650 batteries (compared to older S and X) and the upgraded battery management system allows more power into (and out of) the battery pack (again compared to older S/X).
So the increased 34 “mph” compared to 30 “mph” when using the Tesla Wall Connector is a nice find!
Refresh X and S can Supercharge to 250kW at the V3 chargers while the Ravens only went up to 200kW and even older S/X tapped out at (I think) 150kW.
Tesla Model S refresh gets fastest charging rate even without 4680 cells
With the rollout of the Model S and Model X refresh, Tesla has brought its two flagship vehicles back into the front of the pack. This was especially true for the Model S, which now features a Plaid powertrain that allows it to achieve a 0-60 mph time of less than 2 seconds and a […]
One of the main reasons I selected the 5-seater was to be able to sleep in it overnight if needed. I work at a remote but amazingly beautiful site occasionally and it would sure beat a random hotel/motel. I have the Plaid so the 5-seater is no longer an option. Is overnight sleeping in the 6 seater even an option?? I’m seriously considering downgrading the to LR but I know that would add a looong time to my EDD. Thanks!
Sleeping in the back of the six seat config isn’t really possible. The “idea” of camping in a car — especially a Tesla that’ll pamper you wrt air comfort, entertainment, etc. — seems practical / fun, but I can’t imagine it’d be a comfortable endeavor. I have seen the mattresses, and other kit, but give me a hotel room any day; if anything, to ensure access to a clean bathroom and shower. But, to each his own
Fair enough haha. Fortunately there are restrooms at the site. But your comment leads me to ask any 5-seaters out there- How ‘nice’ is it to sleep in a 5 seater? Keep in mind I only am planning on a one night sleep at a time.Sleeping in the back of the six seat config isn’t really possible.

Hello there; Raven X owner here. Saying they go to 200 kW is... Generous. If the temperature is perfect, Elon's in a good mood, and Mercury is in retrograde, 200 kW may flash for the briefest of moments. Normally the car can maintain ~150 kW for a bit, and is below 100 kW by the time 50% is in the rearview mirror. It's a stark contrast to our Model 3. I hope the new X performs better for you all.
What dealership is this bc I'll have to drop off my x there after I pick it up next month.
I've camped multiple times in our 7-seat X with my daughters and a TesMat. It's actually pretty comfortable considering you're in a car.
Yes! I can attest to the speed at Superchargers in the refreshed MX. As many of you know, I owned a 2019 MX P100D before my MX Plaid, and I drive frequently between San Francisco and Southern California. Over the recent holidays (before I took delivery of my MX Plaid), my P100D was in for service so I rented a refreshed MX LR to drive for 11 days, and took it down to Southern California. For all the time I had my 2019 MX P100D, my routine on that drive (probably TMI) was to drive until I reached about 10% state of charge and stop at Kettleman City to recharge, enjoy lunch (In-N-Out Burger!) and watch some streaming entertainment on Netflix or Disney+ while eating and charging. I could get through my meal and a 30 minute TV episode before setting off again. My experience in the refreshed MX, while awesome, was somewhat frustrating, because it charged so quickly compared to what I was used to (my 2019), I wasn’t able to get through my meal before being alerted I had enough juice to continue my journey! I charged at 250 from about 11% soc to roughly 40% soc before it started tapering off. I was super impressed! Looking forward to my first road trip in my Plaid in the next few weeks.Um what now…
