Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Stro]

Congrats @Stro! I assume you pinched yourself to make sure it wasn't a dream

The pinching woke my ass up. That’s for sure.

 

[DastardlyDuck]

You just put salt on his wound.

Hahaha *sugar* - should have read the entire damn thread first!
But man, you cannot write this *sugar* up. This would be a stretch, even for a Hallmark movie.

GUYS.... get this sh*t. I already submitted everything and bank has commenced the payment side. Switched insurance to take care of the car for now and was even about to head to CarMax tomorrow to sell it.

Tesla just called to tell me they 'matched me with a September 2020 order holder's car'. He was very apologetic and kept asking permission to unmatch so that person could get their car in San Antonio. I guess I'm too much of a nice guy and said ok. He promised that any car that becomes available in Texas will come to me at my pricing. I said I didn't care about interior or exterior color.

So back in the waiting pool I go. I'm angry at myself. I want to be angry at the dude for making the mistake of assigning it to two people, but holy crap. Emotional rollercoaster.

Which pickup location were you assigned? I actually don't know how to check that.

So looks like my vin is not 2022 make, right?

Yes, the vins starting with 5 are 2021 models. At this point Inwould be very curious as to what happened to that (October ) most probably) vehicle the last four months….maybe curious enough to pass in fact…..just saying

Westheimer. I had to ask the SA.

 

[mr-dmitry]

Finally!!!

On the pictures you shared, the spoiler is deployed. When does it deploy?

I think he'd rather pinch the SA at this point - with a decent set of pliers. He knows where...

 

[yerEVan]

Anyone in their Feb delivery window without vin

yep

The current model x spoiler is fixed in the up position.. only the old school performance ones had the spoiler that went up and down

 

[Cutch26]

yep

There’s a truck coming our way supposed to be here on the 10th I bet yours is on their with mine! They just haven’t matched you yet

Waiting on my 5 seater LR X since last January. Original plan was it was the replacement for my wife's RX, but she wanted to drive it for a month before she committed to it... if she didn't like it, I'd take it to replace my 2014 model S, and she'd get another RX. If she liked it, I'd sell my S and get either a 3, S or S Plaid. We both knew she'd love the X and the most likely plan was she'd get an X, and I'd see the reviews on the Plaid S when it comes out and probably order one.

I highly doubt they care... but we decided to send a message to Tesla. A year of being lied to and/or ignored and enough is enough. We decided the second car would not be a Tesla due to how piss poor Tesla has handled the model X rollout with us... a year from our initial 3 month order, and we still have no end in sight. This past weekend decided to pick up a Porsche Taycan Turbo S for my car.

We're on a wait a see as far as what to do with the X. I think in the back of our mind my wife and I realize odds are we aren't seeing the X any time soon. I would say July is the most likely if I had to guess, but October is much more likely than the Feb/March they have repeatedly told us (and not talking about just the EDD, we've been told by two humans at Tesla we will definitely get it in Q1). Wife still wants to hold out a bit more since we've been waiting this long and she really would like the X. But at some point you treat a customer bad enough, and they leave. The "it will be worth it once you get it" is crap. The most likely scenario I see is they burn through the 6 seater orders with zero regard for how long I've been in the queue. Then they will decide to officially cancel the 5 seater, and I'll be given the option to cancel the order or move to a 6 seater. So basically back to the same spot we were in October when they offered it to me, except this time it 6-9 months later, people who ordered significantly after me getting the car significantly before me, and I'm being forced to switch because they didn't have the foresight to be honest with reality. But that's Tesla. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and I'll get that 5 seater in mid March as promised. The annoying thing is it should be easy to tell right, simple question "Elon: does Tesla currently have in stock any 3 seat benches for the 5/7 seat model X, or are there any that have been manufactured by your supplier and are en route to Fremont for production in the next 4-6 weeks". By now that answer should be known internally. Communicate with your customers and be honest.

I've also referred 4 people officially to Tesla through there referral program, and told countless others about how much we loved the model S and the buying experience then. Thats gone. Anyone asks at this point, and we're still more than happy to share the experience but lets just say it won't be a recommendation/referral. It will be a "Tesla could give a rat's ass about their customers and are a poorly run company who came up with a good product".

So starts the journey to our endgame. Shame because it didn't have to be this way. It just amazes me the choices Tesla has made. I still hope they manage to get us our X, but at this point I really don't see it happening, but my wife is willing to give them one last shot.

When I got the call that they were switching my plaid 5 seater to 6 seats, I asked the Fremont guy about the 5 and 7 seaters for my LR long suffering friends. Got lots of answers like still in discussions, don’t look for them soon, production process improvements etc. as I reported then, I got a very bad feeling about the 5 and 7 seaters. I am now part of the group that like you, think they will finally cancel anything but 6 seat orders . I really hate how they are treating everyone, even me with a 4 day notice to pick mine up or lose it. Someday they will be wondering why model X sales have dropped to non sustainable levels. Maybe even offer the seating options again to save it.. This is no way to treat repeat customers and congratulations on your Taycan. I was about to take that walk to the dark side myself…..

 

[Cutch26]

yep

If yours isn’t here soon your more than welcome to come check mine out I’m picking up on the 11th and it’ll be back from color wrap on the 21st

 

[John in LB]

Why a smoother ride? Is there a suspension difference or are you assuming 22" vs 20"? I ordered my Plaid w/ 20". I want stupidly fast AND a smooth ride!

My mistake - same wheel size is available in both Plaid and LR... so, assuming same suspension, it should be the same SMOOOOOTHHHH Ride...

 

[yerEVan]

There’s a truck coming our way supposed to be here on the 10th I bet yours is on their with mine! They just haven’t matched you yet

i need exact gps coordinates of this vehicle. i’m going to find it and follow it and probably freak out the driver. but alas, i care not. actually, i haven’t waited that long so i’m ok if not Feb. but good to know. thank you.

this may have been mentioned but what i would love to know is if my tux mats in my 2018 X will fit in the plaid. that would be awesome. both 6 seaters of course.

So I haven't left and won't leave this forum for a while. I truly appreciate everyone putting up with my silly sadness as we all waited (and some are still waiting MUCH longer than me) for our MXs. So here is what's happened:

- I received a text saying I had a VIN, to please finish all of the tasks such as providing insurance and payment.
- I called Tesla and told them to switch my account from cash payment to loan and take off FSD. They changed the loan part but the FSD part is still there. Not sure how long it takes to come off.
- I entered my bank info for the loan and submitted it. Also submitted my trade-in (M3 LR which so far has a 35K offer from GiveMeTheVIN. Taking it to CarMax tomorrow).
- I called back and asked if I wasn't able to be here next week, how long could they hold it for me. They said 72 hours is policy. If I don't come pick it up when THEY are ready and 72 hours pass, the car is going to someone else here in Houston. So now trying to figure things out . Maybe do a power of attorney to have my in-laws pick it up (but they don't know Teslas and will suck at inspecting it).
- Insurance isn't cheap. Gonna continue to shop.

Ordered 1/27/21
LR | White Ext | Black Int | 22"
My RN is RN1144194XX
My new VIN is 7SAXCBE51NF3321XX
Odometer reads 33 miles according to MVPA.

How can you tell how many miles the odometer?

The MVPA has it on it.
