Louder for the people in the back!!Random thought but IF we actually ever get our cars we could sell them then take that money and buy the expensive plaid (that we don’t want)and get it a week or two later since it’s a new plaid order.

If you live in a state like IL you get to deduct the full sales tax for your trade in value. So to figure out if the trade in is better than a Carvana or other sale offer, take the trade in value and multiply it by your auto sales tax, that total (trade in + tax) is your actual realized offer.
Example. For my 2018 macan, I got 42k from Tesla, 44.5K from Carvana.
To realize the full value of the Tesla trade in with the 8.5% car sales tax for IL (suburban cook county, not Chicago): 42000 x 1.085 = 45,570. This is better than the Carvana offer.

First real review of the Plaid.
Please go to the video and add your opinion about the 5/7 seat config delete. The reviewer says the 6 seat option is the best so it's the only one needed.

LR White with black, always 6 seats, order 1/27/21
Aaaayyyyy bois. I woke up to a delivery window changing from TBD to January 21st - February 7th. No VIN number yet but getting an actual 2 week window works for me! Blue/Cream Plaid.
We placed an order for a Model X Plaid on October 30, 2021. This X will replace our present 2019 Model X Performance (six-seat configuration). Tesla reached out to me concerning my order and today asked me to change from the original 7-seat configuration to a 6-seat. I was expecting the call thanks to this forum. I will receive a credit for the $3,500 increase to go from a 7-seat to a 6-seat. Not happy about it (as we really wanted the storage flexibility the 7-seat provides) but I don't like my other choices of staying with the present 2019 Model X Performance or going with a new LR.
As the call was being recorded, I purposely asked if I would be able to convert back to a 7-seat configuration at no extra charge if the 7-seat becomes available again prior to me taking delivery (as I anticipate the X Plaid base price may increase in the near future). As I expected, Tesla could give me no such assurance. The best I could get is that Tesla will typically work with its customers should something like this occur. I will give Tesla the benefit of the doubt here based on my experience with ordering a Battery Day Model S Plaid Plus and then getting bumped to a Plaid (after the base price had increased). Tesla did eventually do the right thing but there were some hand-wringing days before getting there.

The guy I spoke to said it was in the system. I hope you are right.July sounds random to be honest. Was that something in their system? or another random guess by a Tesla rep? My Emails to support they dont give any specific answer, just pointing to SA's, and SA so far has told me just that dont be surprised if the ETDs move further...basically nothing concrete.
I stopped by the Century city Tesla yesterday here in LA. Honestly they have no cars, no customers, no answers when asked about ETA, honestly not sure what they are doing there besides maybe keeping the store neat and clean.
Got the call today for the free upgrade to six seats for a plaid X, originally ordered a 5 seater. The guy made it sound like Plaid Xs would only be six seats here on out..
I’m all for free legal advise and next steps on this since the delivery date is just 11ish days away . . . Don’t want to do something that would interfere with future legal options as I know these things take time.
I’m not sure if anyone has a recording of the verbal calls to pay the $6,500 for a plaid change from 5 seat to 6 for priority delivery in 2021. . . .
I would understand if the back row couldn't be in the Plaid due to possible interference/clearance issues between the seat mounts and the motors. This whole 6 seater makes me wonder if they're now redesigning the middle row (and subsequently will be charging an extra amount above the 6 config), but as of late I'm not finding a lot of straight answers coming from them.
Unfortunately 6500 in damages isn't worth an attorney's time. This isn't legal advice but some states don't require a written promise for detrimental reliance or consumer fraud which would likely fall outside the scope of arbitration or can be defeat attempts to compel arbitration.
You could just put your facts into an affidavit or declaration or something and make Tesla deny it.
Regardless, Tesla has an integration clause and denies agents the ability to negotiate or contract, so expect denials of the legal effect of the offer. That's a red herring IMO.

Happy X LR owner, albeit 417 days later.
I’m loving how you’re writing his name in quotes, as if Mike is allegedly his name
. It’s got such a faint bit of sass to it and I love it.Well some do take me as being a bit sassy since I’m known to be direct and say it how I see it. Nice to know that comes out in my typing too!I’m loving how you’re writing his name in quotes, as if Mike is allegedly his name
Is it just me or are there a lot more VINers this week than in previous weeks?
