Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[Stro]

ah right - have heard the Plaids ship with the plaid graphic badge, not the "Plaid" lettering. Jumped the gun thinking this was a Plaid.

Are you sure? I thought the graphic was for the first set of plaids that were delivered. The word PLAID is what I've seen elsewhere.

That's one of the things that keeps me going... I am paying 15K less for this.... It's like having instant equity on a depreciating asset which is unheard of.

I used to think the way, but Tesla will just drop its prices later this year when supply chains stabilize and trucks stop jack-knifing in midwest snowstorms, flood VINs to pre-refresh orders, and tell the people who paid a higher price to suck it up because that got it earlier than many of us.

It's just like how all their MBAs in corp strategy thought the 2020 deliveries wouldn't be sour because they paid $10K less. The Tesla way.

I talk to people at companies in the valley and some are reluctant to hire Tesla employees because they show up and constantly try to cut corners.

saw this on twitter - not sure if true: Tesla updates Model S and Model X Plaid badging to (almost) return to launch day design

Hit me up if interested though via PM.

On another note, Tesla just called me to tell me the 24k they owe me will be 'mailed' to me in 4 weeks. Why can't we do the same when we buy a car. Drive it for 4 weeks and then pay them. Messed up. And it's not even a wire transfer. It's mailed. It may get lost.

Tesla has lowered the bar. You need to trust USPS more than Tesla. I'm sure USPS would be valued over $1T if it went public.

My Plaid just says ... "Plaid" -- other badge is now aftermarket

Not directed at you, but who cares? How many man-hours did it take to make this decision? Too many.

A lot less than it took to design the fart user interface.

I'll take that badge. I can toss the one I got from RPM or whatever... I'll take the new taillights if it comes with the dope headlights. Solid and more advanced headlights do matter because they're safer on the road. It's like a small consolation for the long ass wait.

Create a signature in the box below. 1/10 was ordered. 3/20 is the lease return date. The delivery date was announced for April. We're hoping for early April.

I think there is a chance that we‘ll get the first 5/7-seater orders delivered in April. They will change back from July similar to what’s going on now with 6-seaters. But not all of us will be lucky.

MBA's are not responsible for Tesla being what it is today. You can bank on that.

I hope you a correct, but I am not holding my breath!

Straw man. Elon made Tesla, but who decided to stop producing MXs for a year?

Guess it depends where they got their MBA. I got mine at Texas A&M and we sure aren’t that idiotic.

Wasn’t someone in charge of all that and left a few weeks after the refresh was announced? For the life of me I can’t think of his name but he’s well known in the Tesla community. I’m assuming he was fired after they discovered issues with the plans and are still dealing with it.

Delivery scheduled for tomorrow a.m. at my house. Tesla said we need to submit payment before they can deliver the car. I told them I would prefer to wait until I looked over the car and accepted delivery. They said this could pushback by delivery date.

It appears the general consensus is not to submit payment until you actually accept delivery. Correct?

It’s possible to refuse the delivery after payment. Although that could be a hassle it’s self. Is suggest doing a at the SC delivery.

Did this plaid X in taiwan have matrix headlights?

 

[kevinMXY]

Model x and s already have headlight and charging door redesign. We still have not received our X …

Im pretty sure plaids wait time is less, i ordered in jan 2022. EDD is late next month. Also in TX area. However i dont have a vin so i still dont really believe that quoted date.

I ordered 2/21 MXP still no delivery date. Still TBD as at today!
