Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[GatoMX]

How long did you have a vin before delivery was scheduled?

About a week/week and a half.

My Feb 9, 2021 order has 82 miles on it and found out today it was manufactured mid October 2021. So a really early one. Could be bad or good depending on why it is only being delivered in March 2022 as a 2021 model year.
Must be one of those parked in the grassy field or elsewhere in Fremont for such a long time waiting for parts or repairs or both???
Called today and they said it’s still there in Fremont will be in Dallas March 19. I guess in some cases you get the old vehicle with the old orders.
The real test will be if my double bass fits in the back of this 6 seater which I hope it will. The six seats are ideal for my real estate work.
But it has to carry the instrument and other stuff like my 2018 CPO 5 seater Model X does.
If it doesn’t fit I asked if I could switch back to my original pre ”the call” order, a 5 seater - he said sure but I would have to pay the new price of course.
I am a bit miffed about the old build date for lack of newer features possible quality issues. and 2021 model year for resale value

Out of curiosity, how is your X described on the Tesla website in your account? Mine says

2022 Tesla Model X

I’m scheduled for delivery Tuesday, and my VIN suggests it was built sometime mid February (comparing to others that have found their build date).

If your build date is in October, are they calling it a 2021, or 2022? From what I’ve read here, Tesla has traditionally referred to that as a 2021 model.

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

Exact same config as me, you just ordered 2 ½ months later. This is the third with the exact same config as me this week. Order dates from 1 to 4 months after me. WTF? I did not sleep with your crazy girlfriend Elon, I promise

I'm beginning to think the vins are random. No rhythm or reson

So im guessing my October won't magically just show up with a date range Granted it is a plaid but still.

It will magically show up with a date range IMO. Plaid.

Has anyone tinted the front windshield?

Is PPF and/or ceramic coating preferred by everyone?

2 different purposes regarding PPF vs ceramic. For paint protection, PPF. Ceramic provides a little protection but makes it easier to clean. Some people get both.

For paint chip resistance, PPF.

Lemon law?

At the very least those days sitting in service doing nothing counts towards the 30 day clock.

And then ceramic on the ppf.

Hi! Me again!

Thought I would show you folks a stealth wrap, full tint, and smoked head/tail lights refresh model X. Just had it done:

I had it completed at OCDetailing in Fremont.

Ok, bye!

 

[Gurl3x4me]

And then ceramic on the ppf.

That’s such BS and a money grab. Just think about it. The claims on ceramic coating are because it’s hard, yes? Typically marketed around 9h hardness, yes?

PPF marketing is it’s self healing and protective, yes? To be self healing the material must be soft to melt in on itself when heated.

If you apply something with a 9h hardness rating to something specifically designed to flex and move to fill scratches, what do you think happens if both claims are true? You would have a heavily cracked coating.

The same applies to applying ceramic coating to leather chairs. If it does what it’s claimed to do it would crack and break off when the leather is sat in, flexed, moved etc.

Wow! It looks gorgeous. Did you also do the ceramic coating? How much did it all cost? I'm also planning to get ppf and tinting done from OCDetailing once I get my car.

They did the paint correction, the PPF, and ceramic coating in the outer layer. It’s what gives it that ethereal glow, it’s really quite beautiful. The pictures do NOT do it justice, with the way the sun dances between all the layers.

It was $9k for the wrap and ceramic.

Who cares. People do what they want with their money. If it was me, I'd put PPF, ceramic coat, and then another PPF to protect the ceramic coat, and then another coat on top of the 2nd PPF because you know, it's always done together. Oh wait..

Found another advantage of ordering a 5/7 seater - it will never be one of the vehicles that was sitting in the field in fall of 2021!
