Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
They mean on the rear axle. Plaid has 2 motors and can adjust vector on each wheel in the rear independently to help turn and maneuver.
LR has the typical dual motor setup with one rear motor and one in front.
He means dual motors in the rear vs single.
I keep trying to steer people there haha
Wiki - Model X Refresh Issues Thread
The purpose of this thread is to document ongoing Model X Refresh issues (for deliveries on or after 10/16/2021). The first X refresh was delivered today! In the "X Refresh Waiting Room" thread I started an open Google Sheets document to track orders that received over 130 responses and...teslamotorsclub.com

You may be onto something. It could be possible. But I did turn off AC which means all fans should be off. But maybe it’s the Tesla AI replacing logic.

Today was my day to pick up my Long Range field X. Apparently it was manufactured in Nov. of 21. The delivery went smoothly and the car has been great so far. The paint looked wonderful, especially for something sitting in a field. The yoke takes a little getting used to (more so for my wife). Everything in the vehicle works and there were no warning lights upon receipt of the vehicle. The key fobs did need some extra care from the tech dept while I was there as the fobs didn't want to pair initially. The driving experience has really been interesting thus far. During general street driving the car moves in much the way you'd expect a minivan to maneuver. However, if you punch your foot down the car rockets off faster than my MYP. It's really insane the power this large vehicle has. The delivery center cleaned most of the travel dirt from the car, but it's not detailed to the level I like. I'll probably give it a good wash later in the week, weather permitting. I'll submit better pictures after I return from vacation in a few weeks and receive the car back from my PPF/Tint guys.
Just got the call. Delivery appointment for tomorrow at 10am tentatively pushed out until Thursday due to failing to pass inspection (broken interior trim piece). They don’t have the piece and are calling around hoping to find one but Thursday isn’t even certain yet.
Not a huge deal. But in terms of the bigger picture it’s just par for the course. Another disappointment, another inconvenience.

So many new deliveries and VINers recently… today is my birthday and I just want a EDD range…
Can’t say I’m not jealous… and it’s so hard to feel happy for you guys but I’m trying my best..

I was not clear. Dual motors on the rear axle for plaid vs single motor on LR
Agreed, though torque vectoring does improve performance over a typical diff. Is the diff in an LR X open, limited slip, or electronically controlled?
$12,500, I believe. Only price increase so far on X Plaid.
ok:
one minor but ridiculous thing that bothers me about FSD is that regularly after a car wash, within minutes FSD “cleans” the front window with windshield washer fluid.
It’s not just after a plain ol car wash; this time I specifically made sure the glass in front of the front facing cameras was super clean. It’s like FSD doesn’t like it so perfectly clear (?!)

Just sat through a Tesla pre-delivery conference call with the Massachusetts and Rhode Island delivery staff and about 15 customer. It was cool that they offered it, they provided info about what you need to have with on the delivery day, how you can or can’t pay. They told us we need to get the car inspected within 7 days in Massachusetts. I did not know that. In Rhode Island you need to bring a check for the DMV…. Just kind of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. They then let us ask any questions we had. They made it clear that we will have full access to the car before accepting delivery to inspect it.
Good Job Tesla.
Credit where credit is due.

I will have look at Sandy Munro's model 3/Y video to figure that out.
I believe all Teslas use an open diff. Not sure about Palladium plaid or LR but assume LR changed nothing.

This article confirms all Tesla's have open differential.
Plaids have torque vectoring
Driving The Tesla Model 3 On Slippery Roads — Why It Rocks! - CleanTechnica
In this article, I will discuss handling of the Tesla 3 (and other cars) in slippery conditions. I'm not going to cover frozen door handles or reduced range in the winter. Those could be issues that you might want to research and I encourage you to do that. They're just not part of this article.

I am sure this was probably discussed several times but am I able to change the interior color without paying the updated new price?

Now, yes. I guess what you only need is the almighty Jorge.
