The lack of armrests is a definite negative on long trips but no X has a rear armrest for some reason.I am in a similar situation... and have a couple of thoughts for you: (I already own a 5 seater 2017 X - with lots of experience in it, but I don't have any experience with a 6 seater).
- If you keep the last two seats down all of the time in the 6 seater (based on spacing and the web images), I think you end up with the same trunk size as a 5 seater. You would just have a 4 seater from a practical standpoint.
- The open space between the two captain seats is all you have for longer items - they would have to be fairly narrow.
I have thought about it often... the end result is that I really don't want or need a 6 seater - I definitely don't have any use for the 3rd row. And, looking at the captain chairs (I have looked through the window of a new X) - they really don't look that great - no armrests... just kind of a basic seats. Given that I intend to keep the car for quite a few years, I am just going to wait for the vehicle I ordered: An LR with 5 seats.
By the way, if they call and say the 5 seat LR option is cancelled - I would accept a 6 seater, as ultimately, I do very much like the X as a vehicle.

Will check for signs of physical donuts as well figurative donuts.. lolI guess it's better than if they were doing donuts...
Text/App.. I saw on app prior to text.. but they are within minutes of each other..
My sister was the second X delivered to that market.. The first was an employee.. (go figure) I picked up my S from there about three weeks ago and they told me they have now had one additional since so 3 total.. One plaid and two LRs. I'm sure there have been more since.. Also, I'm in Louisville as well as my sister.. She has White with black interior and I have MSM with white interior.. Im in prospect and rarely SC but if you see me, be a weirdo and say hi! haha
My EDD was Feb 2-23 then moved to Feb 16 - March 9 on Feb 3rd.. Got VIN today.. According to my SA there a bunch of them going through inspection and they are making sure they are good to go before assigning VINs to limit returns/people not accepting delivery. Hence why mine has 88 miles on it.. But she said if you get within that window and are "softmatched" it is almost guaranteed that you will get a VIN shortly before or inside that EDD. She said that the EDDs are starting to be more reliable now that supply issues are more easy to predict
I was the guy who got a VIN on 11/30 with a bunch of others then had it removed. Then saw my exact VIN getting offered to another user on TMC who ordered a different ext/int color and reg wheels oppose to 22s.. It was devastating for a tad but like an abused stepchild I was placed in a PrIoRiTy QuEuE and it made me feel SpEcIaL.. until I realized everyone was in this club and there was nothing special about it.. lol GL on getting your X bud!
Fingers crossed the refresh has fold down armrest in the second row (5/7 seaters) similar to Model S.
I’d sell my refresh 6 seater, assuming I ever receive it, buy the 7 and join this room again
It's an issue for me. I recently hauled a standard sized front door in my model S. It fit with the seats down. It would not fit in the 6 seat X with the middle row not folding down.
Then I was forced to downgrade from 5 seats to 6 seats for "free". I'm hoping that if me EDD sticks to October that by then, they'll start offering 5/7 again on the Plaid and that I'll be able to upgrade for free to either 5 or 7 seats.

Waiting Room: Refreshed Model X 5/7 seats
I am tired of reading all irrelevant posts in the 20k+ replies thread, so I am starting this one that is relevant to us. I originally ordered Plaid X 7 seaters in June 2021. Last month I got the call to switch to 6 seats Plaid for free because they no longer produce 5/7 variants on Plaid, and...

This existing thread is full of irrelevant replies.
Was supposed to get my X today. Someone from the SC called me yesterday to say the FWD needed alignment so that might not be done in time.
Then later in the day he said there was some oil marks on the door panels that were not coming off. Replacement door panels (not sure how many of them) have been ordered and it could take about 10 days because of limited supply. So... I wait.
I asked about the rest of the car and he said that the rest looked fine.
I'm disappointed I now have to wait a couple more weeks. But I am happy that the SC seems to be checking things over properly.
I don't live particularly close, so I'd be really upset if these things were not caught before I took delivery.
It's a shame this couldn't have been done at the factory.

6 seater is junk. I wouldn’t buy it even for half the price!
You don’t quite get the same trunk space in 6 seater. There is an extra sub trunk space in 5 seater version only that can fit more stuff beneath the floor. This is in addition to the regular sub trunk and is located where the extra row of seats would fold down.

April for me as well. W/w/7/FSD/20. At least they crushed my hopes earlier this month.
Guess I’ll need to start looking at the spreadsheet. Wondering now if new 6 seaters ordered let’s say in November or December are starting to get VINs now. That would be a sign that they may never make 5/7.
See you guys in March.
