Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[kingjones94]

Just called the tesla call center and dude said “you should get a vin next week with that delivery range you have (2/24 - 3-17) he said he can’t guarantee though lol. Yeah I bet hopefully though

 

[Miyakudude]

Please post a lot of pictures. I have the exact same spec as you.

They told me a half hour before delivery they need to reschedule delivery to 4pm.


They love giving me blue balls!!!

Nice. My trade in valuation for our macan that I had to update as it's been more than 30d got dropped by 2K.
What a costly rollercoaster of a wait.

I was terrified of losing the value of our trade so I ended up selling it months ago. I didn’t know that values would remain this high for so long, but it looks like they are starting to fall.

Lol i wouldve just gone up there and waited… would be good to watch what they are doing with it

I don't think the Plaids had any price change, so I don't know how that would matter.

They went up $6500 about 3 weeks ago.

I’d be out there with my binoculars creepin’ on my Model X.

Isn't all the related info already there? Order date and config. It looks pretty clear that in general later orders are not being fulfilled first except for Plaid, so I wouldn't say they are prioritizing price completely over order date.

It does appear there is a higher chance of your order being filled if you have FSD, but if Plaid have a higher rate of FSD attached, it could just be biased from that.

I don’t disagree that plaid has taken over deliveries due to his high price and profit margins I’m interested in seeing once long range models begin to be made again with a higher priced orders be fulfilled first or will they keep the promised they made to the 2020 orders. Just a thought

They didn’t go up per se’ they just got rid of the 5/7 seat option and so the base starting price includes the 6 seat upgrade

@DirtyT3sla ?

I would love it if Chris did a video focusing on his challenge with his model X order along with the suffering of everyone on this thread. I mean serious in-depth coverage from the ordering process, to the inaccurate and unreliable information from Tesla staff, to the October 6 seat switch for a guaranteed December 2021 delivery….

But it might not be a good business decision if he relies on his YouTube revenue. Ben Sellins, Rich Rebuilds and even Know You Know (two of the biggest fan boys there are) are being taken to the woodshed by the stockholders and fan boys for the most recent videos focused on Teslas failures of customer service, parts availability and quality of build.

Whenever the day my MX shows up I’ll be definitely doing a video about this journey. But no sense in creating that video until the car shows up.
I did a similar video about the challenges around getting Tesla solar panels in powerwalls.

@DirtyT3sla ?

I have been tweeting him about this periodically but meh he doesn't really respond to me and it's not like it would change anything past Sawyer's response. If I post a nice beta clip he clicks like lol but if I ask about X ignored.

I have a full time job so I do not rely on youtube revenue. My last video was about my heat pump experience (which has been nothing but positive, which I explained) but I still lost subscribers and got some negative comments because I started the video sharing the heat pump problems Tesla had and is still potentially having. It's fine. I don't need to lie or hide the truth to make some internet people like me.

I just checked after a few days and I now have a date range! Feb 23-March 16. If they land it in March they will have technically fulfilled the delivery promise they made when I ordered it 1/27/01... at the time it just said "March"

Yikes soo… I’m looking at a June actual delivery?

 

[Jdcleary]

@Stro, can we add a purchase price column to the spreadsheet? It would provide a clear view as to whether or not highest price LR & Plaids are only getting built and delivered.

Granted some may not want to put in their purchase price for privacy reasons and I respect that but it would to help the cause... I've mentioned my purchase price in other posts. $87K.

Data does not lie... We can't accuse Tesla of screwing over 2020 and early pre increase order holders unless we have the data to back it up IMHO.

Isn't the purchase price known if we have the order date and configuration?

The base price increased $6500. 6 seat upgrade is a downgrade for most including me. I'd have paid $6500 just to keep a 5 or 7 seat option.

For anyone who wanted the 5 seat config, which has the most utility, the price increased $6500 in exchange for lost utility.

I just want to say thanks. I'm not a subscriber but I am a long time owner and fan of Tesla cars and have watched your videos. Thanks for keeping it real.

My kids now don’t like the 6 seater middle row on my X since I got the Y. They prefer the recline capabilities in the Y since the X has an unnatural constant L shape when tilted back.

Base price or with options?

Received my MX Plaid last week. Had it ceramic coated and my son decided to have a little video fun with it.
Enjoy…..

Then unfortunately, you are not target audience for MX Plaid from Tesla's perspective, at least at current situation.

This is alarming on so many levels.

The fact that someone is willing to alter THE most critical user-interface to a 3rd party after-market model, of which is not approved or tested by Tesla OR the NHTSA is frightening.

Not only is this extremely dangerous to the driver but to others on the road that may be injured when this custom-mod fails.

Warranty - Try taking your Tesla into the service center. If your SC explicitly follows the warranty policy you have just voided the warranty for the life of the car.

Insurance - If your insurance company found out about this they would drop your policy.

Liability - If you're in an accident and the other party found the car had a wheel modification this could be enough to tip the at-fault scale.

Literally none of what you have said is true. You do know that many companies make steering wheels and continue to do so, and you can buy those steering wheels and install them in your car without authorization from anyone. It does not void your warranty thanks too the Magnuson-Moss act. Insurance will not drop you for installing a new steering wheel and you will have no more liability for a crash because you have properly installed an aftermarket steering wheel. Its not hard to do and takes 15 minutes with basic hand tools. I mean seriously, stop fear mongering.

I do not have an aftermarket steering wheel, just couldn't bear to hear one more person repeat this stuff.
