Fisker Ocean maybe?As I look to see my delivery date may have slipped to July 2023 (per Sawyer Merritt), I'm also hoping that QC will actually be a thing by then. We give Tesla way too much grace but don't afford their competitors the same amount of grace and patience as they try to catch up. I am open to new options. Is there an Electric Range Rover or an electric G-Wagon coming before Jan 2023?

Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Left FWD at rear is horrendous.
Front of left FWD doesn't quite align with front door handle but that might actually fix itself over time as the seals compress.
The right side FWD on the other hand is also misaligned the other direction and will only get worse as the new seals compress.
Hard to believe they are still learning the refreshed X. It really isn’t a new car. It’s essentially the same car exterior wise from 2015, including the FWD, where most complaints came from about misalignment. All panels are same as before so why are they still facing panel gap issues. Do we need to talk about paints?
If the body and paint was perfect, I'd have just taken it. The next car might have everything working but you might need repainting of multiple panels.
Bad! Not good! I looked at the pictures before I read your post and assumed someone was posting pictures of all the problems with their MX at delivery.
What are all the green tape pieces about?
Yeah but you will need to have one of your children drive it home!
Just wanted to share you post about adding FSD to your order in hopes of getting earlier delivery. Then ask if anyone knows if this applies to all models or just to the Model Y.
Tesla closes FSD Capability loophole that shortened delivery wait times for free
EDIT: I can answer my own question.....It applies to ALL models. So think twice before adding FSD to your order.

Children and Tesla, both frustrating for the same reasons
Another bit of advice, cancel the home delivery and go to the SC, preferably with some supportive eagle eye friends and family and don't accept until you are all satisfied.

I guess it's all a matter of point of view. The whole being in "awe of Tesla" thing has faded for me. I don't own stock and I am simply a customer.
Having dealt with Tesla Energy and now Tesla Automotive there seems to be an arrogance within the management. It's almost like, they treat me and others like we should be grateful we are allowed to buy their products. That we as customers should always accommodate their needs and adjust our lives accordingly.
I am forced to ignore my 9-5 work (which I need to make my monthly payments) in my efforts to make their end of Q1 delivery date. Phone calls, text messages, the repeated threats if we don't have this Information by Friday 3/25 we will release your VIN to the next customer. I am scheduled to pick up on 3/31 what's the fricking rush? The rush is Insurance... If I don't have what they want, when they want, they still need time to work with the next person to take delivery before EOD 3/31. This is 100% about them. I, the customer do not matter. There is always another one just behind me.
Here is one of several examples, I need to get them an IRS form for my business EIN. You must call the IRS and request a FAX of your EIN confirmation. I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to reach the IRS and finally did at 4:30pm. They said the fax could take 2-30 minutes to arrive. No fax came and they closed at 5pm. Now this morning I called 18 times and I am sitting on hold as I type this, So far on hold 1 hour 27 minutes. If I don't get Tesla this stupid form before 6pm today I lose my VIN.
Here's another, I had a discussion with a Tesla guy yesterday over my trade in. He wanted me to commit to their trade in offer and I told him he'd have to wait until I heard back from Carmax. I ran the Carmax info after work and since Tesla is only offering $21,100 and Carmax is at $26,600 I am going with Carmax. This morning the Tesla guy actually said, "if you planned on using Carmax why did you waist my time having me get you a quote? It's end of quarter, and this is slowing the process down". This sale is not about me the customer, or my having a positive buying experience, it's about one thing and one only, getting the car paid for by whomever and off the lot before EOD 3/31.
So yeah.... the being in awe of Tesla thing is long gone.
Is Elon a living legend, probably.
Is Tesla a better company with an engineer running it? Probably not. Notice how Gwynne Shotwell is president and chief operating officer of SpaceX.
Elon Runs engineering and she runs the company. Yeah he has input, even last say, but he lets her run things. Imagine if the Raptor engine was built and delivered like the Model X is? Let that sink in....
This car had better be the best thing I ever owned or my next one will be a Rivan or maybe I'll go back to Ford if they are ready with a BEV Ford Explorer. We'll see in 4 years or 50K miles.
I saved, pinched and scrapped in order to buy the Model X and the frustration and disappointment Tesla has brought me makes me kinda sad.

For the record, Tesla offered $80,100 for the 2018 Model X 100D with FSD and 44,032 miles. That works for me. Only problem is the final paperwork shows sales tax on the full price, not the difference as specified by the state of Washington. I will call Tesla later this morning to clear that up, move some money around, and we'll be ready.
Mrs. G told me this morning that the delivery date wouldn't have been moved unless we purchased the CPO Model X, decided we liked the white interior, and contacted "Jorge" to change the color configuration. So... thanks "Jorge"?
they run out of mounting screws...but the car is great other than that
None of my other cars have panel gap issues like I saw on the 2020 Model Y that I bought and since sold. Fingers crossed they weren't smoking the good stuff putting my new X together...
That's ridiculous these aren't QA'd before the cars leave the factory. These are expensive cars...

Before someone totaled my 2017 MX, my average for SC visits (center and remote) averaged between every 6 and 7 weeks. You could round up and say it needed to be serviced once every 2 months.
Absolutely frustrating, but in the end there are no better options. The car is littered with issues but it's features are better than any other choice on the market.
Ultimately the issues it faces are never critical enough to claim Lemon Law. 95% are cosmetic/functional.
This morning I received a text to schedule delivery, the earliest date is Monday March 28th, but I called Tesla to switch to tomorrow, can’t wait to meet my X. Hope everyone can get their X soon.
you would be surprised how many Teslas get lemoned....
From posts here it seems that there is an expectation that because of the price, the S and X should go through more scrutiny from QC. That may be true from a consumer perspective, but def not the case from Tesla. They treat it as any other car. Being lower production and more complicated is even worse for the X.
I mean..i got an X where the door wouldn't even close. I'm not sure how that got by QC and then Tesla delivery center apparently don't have a checklist either or at least no check to see if doors close.
