Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[jace]

I knew Tesla was ****ing with us. My LR order back to July today.

Looks like no love for CA orders this EOQ. RN1146 here.

It's not EOQ yet. They still have time to ship anywhere in the US. Give it 2 more weeks and then the Cali VINs will be flying.

It looks like I got the charge port door. Unfortunately, no new matrix headlights.

My vin is 7 cars after yours... I guess I have that goofy new charging port which I hate but will have to live with. One of the things I loved about the X and S was the different charging port with the ring light around the port....

Yes. The twins (4 year olds) love it. Few complaints on my end though. First, I wish I could control what they are watching from the main screen while driving. Second, with the booster seats I use, it’s really hard to buckle them in as the female part is the seat belt is inside the seat.

Thanks! So they can actually reach and touch the screen?

I think you are on to something and they may not have even run out of sound mat. This could be yet another Tesla move to save $5 per car by "using technology" like they did w/ removing the dedicated rain sensor. Rain sensing wipers in our 2018 SUCK compared to our 2012.

They removed the rain sensor? Oh man, I'm starting to think I shouldn't have sold my 2015 No real rain sensor. No radar. Ugh!

Joking aside, it seems like some have experienced very quiet refresh X's while others haven't. I wonder if tires are making a big difference here.

I really hope they work a lot on the interface/functionality of the rear screen, since its 90% aimed at kids. Like you said, we should be able to control it 100% from the front, there should be brightness settings, bluetooth/wired headset/split audio option and so on

Yes. Elon told the vision team that since they had a camera looking at the windshield that it should be able to tell if there is rain on it and trigger the wipers. While it sounds simple, apparently it is non-trivial as Tesla has yet to match the capability of the dedicate Bosch sensor the early models (and pretty much every other car on the road) had.

They also have yet to match the capability of radar to see through dense valley fog for hundreds of feet with vision

 

[Bendrumin]

Is there a pattern of how much months people move ahead for a EOQ push?

 

[face4radio]

Northeast? We have the same delivery range!

Nope, Houston. Do you have a VIN yet?

 

[Tesless]

Has anyone tinted the front windshield?

Is PPF and/or ceramic coating preferred by everyone?

if human driver cannot see through the fog in front of you, do we really want to car to blast through fog at high speed even if it can?

Nope but it's a safety net. In those rare cases that you only have 30 foot visability and you're crawling at 20 miles per hour, I still want my tac to keep following distance to the car in front of me that I can no longer see.

TGIF!!!!!

I wonder if my delivery window will tighten up a little bit.

They gave you my VIN after sending me back to July! Same build , I was Mar 18-31, now back to the "placeholder month".

I give up.

 

[Jdcleary]

Forgive me Father for I have VINned.

Yeah, that’s someone else’s joke on here but I made me laugh and I’ve been waiting for the day I got to steal it.

Much to my surprise I woke up to an email (sent at 2:40 AM central time) telling me that my VIN is now available!View attachment 776600

Congrats! Texas must be the lucky state as there are 5 earlier orders from NY 2020, CO Jan, OH, NJ, MN, Feb.

 

[DCGOO]

Does anyone else find it disturbing that Tesla has moved Stro's service appointment three times now? Not only is the new car sales side of Tesla completely "messed up", service is as well! When your car needs service who can wait three weeks to get it? That seems like a horrible experience. If another high end car dealer did that customers would be livid!

Not in the slightest. It sure beats the heck out of keeping an appointment, then having to wait on parts. When Tesla knows exactly what they need to fix something, it only makes sense they pay attention to parts availability and adjust as appropriate.

Wow! This is insane!!!

[Jdcleary]

Are any white exterior being delivered? I'm now seeing multiple people who have ordered their LR after me that are getting delivered before me, but it doesn't seem any are white.

Only 4 white | white. 2 to OR order dates 1/27 & 2/3, 1 to FL 1/27 & 1 to CA 2/10. Can't predict when you and I will get our 2/24 order VIN.

 

[Jdcleary]

I’ve truly given up

3 Red | Cream got their VINs but no Red | White VINs yet. Hang in there.

Not as insane as that $240K Plaid advertised a few weeks ago.
