Was driving near here today when I met this driving down the road fresh from the Union Pacific Automotive Facility. Just changed from a White Model X to a Blue one today. This must be karma...

You could have ended up with the white one with the roof racks instead...
I feel the same way, dude. The blinders some people wear is unreal and you know it’s out of control when people direct their ire at the individuals daring to take a company to task for basic, table stakes expectations we’d have of literally any other car company (especially at this price range). It’s truly reminiscent of the worst Apple fanboys. Tesla isn’t a plucky, scrappy startup anymore and it’s well past high time for them to invest in things like customer support and pre- and post-sales service.
They’ve been profitable for some time now. There’s no excuse for not investing in basic customer service capabilities. Stop making excuses for them!

It looks like someone or some people keep putting future delivery dates in the Delivery Date column. I keep having to clear them out. Please stop doing that and use the notes column instead. Several places in the sheet treat a value in the Delivery Date column as the car actually being delivered, even though they haven't yet. And we all know that until the car is signed off on by the customer that these dates are pretty flexible
You have a keen eye. I noticed this as well and made some adjustments the other week. All references of delivered counts now only look at the "Delivered" selection in the EDD column. This way entering the date has no change on delivery metrics.
In addition, another user added some math so that all delivery date math only calculates from days before today, i.e. ">="@TODAY()
For the historical data this calculates all dates before the selected delivery time. In this case, all deliveries before the date listed in B57.
I got the VIN and the text message to CONFRM about taking delivery at the same time - same message. Also gave me a delivery window of March 28-31. Shortly after I replied CONFIRM they called me to set up a delivery appointment at the Tesla Gallery p. They said the car was arriving March 28, and I could pick up the next day. So for me this all happened on Day 1.
I’ve since been working through the proof of insurance, etc. Unfortunately my car is delayed in transit a week, so had to schedule a later delivery appointment. I haven’t paid for the car yet, they originally said I just need to pay before the appointment.
They said that there is a chance the car arrives sooner than the delayed estimate, so I’ll check with them on location of the car next week.

My experience with Custom orders with BMW and Porsche were smoother than Tesla. Tesla shows their lack of experience in this area.
The car is just so good in the ways that count, that it's relatively easy to put up with the frustrations. Like having a beautiful woman who loves you fiercely but some days is a real pain in the neck. The payoff is just worth it.

Did you cancel your order? If angry people like you still keep their orders, what do you expect from normal "fanboys"?
If you can get away with it. I have had Tesla change my delivery dates by months in the past because I didn't know they needed re-approval.They told me too that I'm ready to pick up the car with my 5-month old approval for financing. Should I just to and pick it up?
Would love to know if you get the old rate and everything goes through. I was too anxious about my delivery being delayed so I didn't take the chance and alerted them about my financing but maybe they would have just gone through with my delivery and previous financing approval at 2.49%. Now I will be paying about $11 more per month.
Haha! How long have you been married and is your wife a model? Or a stepford wife? (That might be Elons next project, part of master plan 3).
A beautiful woman who loves me feircely, I can only dream.....
what specification are you referring to?
selecting between 5 colors? 2 wheel sizes? or FSD or not?
Custom order with any manufacturer includes many options (Tesla has some that are standard) and you can customize it to great details so its not like Tesla has to go out of their way for a "Custom" car.
There are definitely some that are 100% happy but I also know that there are some that pretending to be 100% happy to hide the disappointment of paying 120k+ and waiting for so long.
So far I drove 2 S refreshed, 1 X refreshed and my current Y and each and every one of them had an issue or 2...All those I've driven after my order was made and I am not canceling my order because I hope my car would be an exception or I will just sell for profit.
and yes, other manufacturers have issues as well but at least the issues are not constant, the issues that people are brining up are pretty much the same since the X came out so I think Tesla had plenty of time to address those issues but the lack of QC is being justified by the acceptance of the fan boys.

Thanks! That is 2 months after I placed my order so hopefully, that means my VIN is just around the corner. I definitely can't figure out the logic of who gets their car when!
No volume production car is perfect. If you look close enough you will find imperfections. Issue is determining if the quality of your delivered car is up to your level of acceptance. This means, only you can determine if the car is good enough for you. Everyone wants a perfect car, but that is not realistic with Tesla. A car that you would find unacceptable, might just be good enough for someone else to enjoy driving every day.
Does anyone know if the Model X LR comes with the towing package (hitch receiver)?
I see it mentioned here:
But I don’t see this package listed in the configurator.
I see it mentioned here:
Model X Owner's Manual | Tesla

But I don’t see this package listed in the configurator.
I didn't say other cars don't have issues but the The panel gaps and misalignment is being complained about since the original model S.
I guarantee you that if Tesla had a traditional dealer system those issues would not exist.
Why? because dealers are charging the manufacturer when servicing the car and the manufacture doesn't want to deal with those costs so they pay closer attention to QC although I appreciate Tesla for the no markups that you see when the market is hot but with all the price increases it becomes similar
Right now the focus is on accelerating the worlds transition to sustainable energy. Scaling back 1/3 to deliver perfect cars is not on their radar. Massive volume is. Weaning off buying Russian and Saudi oil hangs in the balance along with some climate change fact bombs that Tesla is actually doing something about in a monumental way. Time for them to go extreme. I'd rather have my kiddies kids breathe cleaner air anyhow. So I'll tolerate a 2 month wait for a SC visit or two. I can deal with a panel gap. Or a rattle. I don't know about you.
I thought the same, but it clearly says -$4,000 from the old price of $10,000. Probably, $2,000 of it is for switching to the refreshed model. They were really sorry for that
