Obviously only one datapoint, but fetar30310 above appears to be a pre-price hike LR order and it's being delivered.

Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Yep, can confirm. Am pre-price hike ($89,990 or whatever for the LR X).
I really don’t understand that people are willing to risk replacing one of the most used and crucial pieces of a metal rocket that goes 80-90mph.
Where in PA? I’m in the Philly burbs. Looks like east coast is the priority for delivery right now!

Exactly, which is most likely why he said what he said. The fact that some here don't consider that 'lying' is something else. They know, just as we know, that these dates mean absolutely nothing. Just be honest and say you don't know. That's ok.
Yea Devon service center is about to get slammed with refresh Xs !!!!!

Yep, but feels like for every 1 pre/early order, we have 10 post increase orders that are getting fulfilled. But we're also looking at a tiny fraction of the overall population of orders, or so I tell myself.
What if the "fit and finish" is something to do with the falcon wing doors? If those can't be adjusted on the spot, if they're having trouble opening/closing, it sounds like it might be unsolvable even with service looking into it. That, to me, is the deal breaker.My opinion on delivery refusal:
There has been a lot of discussion on this topic lately. There certainly is the school of thought that if a car has many issues at delivery that it will have issues in the future. This is true to many extents.
However -
I personally would not refuse delivery for cosmetic and/or fit & finish issues as others have in the past. These issues are the product of one weak link in the assembly line chain and do not necessarily reflect the overall build of the car but rather the technician responsible for that piece of assembly. These types of issues can typically be easily addressed by the Service Center or even a mobile service visit.
No doubt it is a bummer getting a new toy that came broken, but my two cents is to really think about the issue on a case by case basis and consider if it can be easily addressed or if you believe it is reflective of the entire build as a whole. Keep in mind once delivery is refused there is no guarantee if they will fix the car assigned to you or put you in the back of the queue.
For clarification, I am referring to delivery refusal for minor issues. Any major mechanical issues are a huge red flag and obvious justification for delivery refusal.
Did you use the same login to reserve the Plaid as the Long Range? Or did you create a new account?

That is why I decided to take delivery of a Plaid. My 5/04 LR order at 89,900 probably has so many older pre price increase orders that will (eventually) be fulfilled first and so many newer post price increase orders that will also jump ahead in line that I figured it would be a very long wait. I think the first price increase occurred quite soon after I ordered.

I had trouble with one of my FWD. it was actually hitting a trim piece and took the paint down to the metal. I had to take it back into the service center and they adjusted the door. They ordered the trim piece and now I have to go back in on Feb 11th for them to replace the trim and fix a dent it had on the driver door near the window.
Im pre price hike. LR 6 seater. Delivery pick this monday

Guys, this is a $100k+ car.
with the sun beating down the paint, once this will be removed it most likely

My Model S Plaid is so good that I feel like I should re-order a Model X plaid so I can have something to complain about on this forum for the next few months then cancel. Good grief.

No issue. My car is both fully wrapped with PPF and I had them put the decal plate on another piece of PPF before applying. It will cause zero paint damage if you do it that way. You can buy sections of PPF on Amazon and apply yourself.

Was it a plaid order? I have a plaid order that was placed later in the year then our LR order, and only the plaid order is now showing a February EDD.I am a pre-refresh order out of Devon and I have nothing. March EDD
