Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
I did the same thing as you did but with a CPO model X and it worked out fine. Tesla took care of everything. Totally seamless financing changeover and both the new and CPO VEHICLES WERE PERFECT.From my experience yesterday, what I would advise is do not give up your car until you get the X. I cancelled the Y I was going to pick up the same day I got my X VIN and turns out the VIN was un-matched so I was left without Y or X. Get all the info ready to execute, but don't execute until you get your X
It's still federal law and there are hefty fines for violating it.
An entire thread of recent Tesla buyers saying their Teslas came with the sticker:
More collectible is the title, signed by Elon!

Mine was folded up in the glove box, not applied to the window. But it was there.

With all the drive unit/inverter failures of the refresh, seat belt restraint errors, and possessed while supercharging errors in other threads and youtube videos, I'm thinking it might have been for the best to delay getting the X for a while longer. Really hoping these issues get resolved soon.
2022 MX Plaid Red/White/6 Seat ordered June 21 delivered yesterday. Scheduled for 4-8PM window and received 5 minutes early. Absolutely seamless. Car was 100% perfect. This is my 7th Tesla and I’ve seen everything, so I could not be happier with this experience. Blown away. Peace.

Sad to hear about this but hope it was just an EOQ rush job.
My EDD just moved from July to 8-29 April. Hopefully they will take their time since it's BOQ. I am nervous about quality because I will be picking up in KC which is a nearly 4 hour drive each way. Oh well, we have friends that live up there so we will visit them and if I happen to get a car then all the better. But I will be going in expecting to reject. Way to take the joy out of getting a new car Tesla!

Plaid is scary!
@sorka - First, I completely agree with you rejecting this car. Too many issues. In my opinion, there are some buyers that are too picky and others that don't know what to look for or it isn't as important to them.
As mentioned, I had a friend who was a detailer for years and has been doing paintless dent removal for 20 years inspect my car before I arrived. There were 3 things he pointed out. I have attached pictures of two of them so you can understand how picky he was being. He said the seat should smooth out in warmer weather and over time. It was cold and rainy that day. The paint, gaps, seals, etc. were great. He commented that the passenger front door sticks out a bit more than the FWD. Honestly, even knowing that and looking carefully, I don't see it, but that is the detail he sees. The car I received was perfect. I feel very lucky.
After getting the SMS message about being up to do pickup within the next 1-3 days, I got the VIN number the next day (yay!). We went through the loan process (with Tesla and actually got a great rate!) + insurance (not with Tesla). Later in the day the asked me to schedule the pickup so I choose the 31st at 3pm.
A few hours before pickup I get a message that my car wasn't delivered to the showroom / picking up location - this in Corte Madera, CA so fairly close to the Fremont factory. They tell me it's either later in the day around 7pm OR the next day (today). In the end around 6pm they tell me it's going to be today.
Today we go in to do pickup, they take 20 minutes to find some papers and at some point two people show up and they tell me the car it's still being worked on - something related to wiring and that I won't be able to do pickup today -- potentially tomorrow or most likely Monday.
I did go in with low expectations but it was more around build quality and not about not being able to do pickup in the first place. Extremely bummed about not being able to do the pickup today. I messaged my SA right after to get a new delivery time and didn't even reply.
I think Tesla is extremely lucky they have this amazing product and that we're living these crazy times, otherwise I would have walked away from this all together.
PS: There were two brand new model Xs parked close by and we took a look and we saw lots of issues with paneling and the seal around the doors.

Update: As I pressed enter on this message - Tesla called and they told me they have ANOTHER model X identical to mine but different VIN - I can come and pick up that later today. At this point I can write a book on the ups and downs of buying these cars.
Appropriate that we hit 1500 on April Fool’s Day.
With people so comfy we’re making April Fools jokes on here, maybe we need to start a Christmas wish list. Oh wait…
