Since you’re getting a replacement, ask if you can pick it up from the factory in Fremont. You’re not going to be taxed a second time so….

RN1159 MX Plaid MSM/Wh 20
Howdy folks. I haven’t been active on the forum since my MS LR (finally!) got delivered a month ago.
My MX Plaid (MSM/White 6-seat 20’s) order was on hold because I was traveling when I was matched to a VIN in Feb so I had to pass at that time.
Took off hold mid March and went to July EDD.
Yesterday changed to April 17 - May 8 which would be great if that date range holds up!
Question #1: Will that date range hold up? I’m in Westchester County NY (near NYC) if that makes a difference.
Question #2: Who’s had luck trading-in recently? Who’s had recent experience on CarMax, Vroom, CarBuyerUSA, etc? Going to sell/trade-in 2021 MYP. NY tax gives trade-in a big 8.375% advantage.

Hi, let's talk towing trailers... do you have any idea, pix ? how fit the Curt Echo brake controller under the panel of the X considering the vertical orientation when plugged in ? Too close the ground ??? TY
I thought the brake controller is built in. That is to say, you hook up the trailer and plug in the seven pin and the car itself will tell the trailer when to brake.
I personally installed a DIY tow hitch receiver on my trusty Sienna and then got U-haul to do the hard wiring for a brake controller.
But when I’ve towed with the Y, I just plugged in the seven pin connector and called it a day. Are you SURE there’s no brake controller built in to the Tesla? It seems kinda obvious there should be.
Question 1: unfortunately purely luck of the draw, my previous EDD's have changed 20+ times and this is a Model X which is the rarest unicorn in the Tesla line-up
Question 2: In the same boat as you, have a 22 MYLR I'll get rid of once my MX comes in. CarBuyerUSA will usually offer the highest price but with some complexity - I'd try all of them as it should be no more than 30 minutes of your time. When I sold my M3SR+, highest offer was from Driveway. But the Carmax, Vroom, Carvana, Givemethevin, CarBuyerUSA options should give you a good idea; depending on your local dealers, I've heard some others state local luxury dealers (MB, Audi, BMW) offer higher amounts.
Yeap, sure. The break controller isn't built in on Model X... wires are under the front dash. You may plug in the seven pin connector but your trailer won't brake without a controller... look the manual !
Ugh
I think I’ll go for this wireless one
CURT 51180 Echo Mobile Electric Trailer Brake Controller with Bluetooth-Enabled Smartphone Connection, Proportional, Black PLastic, 9 x 9 x 3 inches, BLACK PLASTIC https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07JQ99SDD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XTXQB3VVQTFEQCF9R7VN
Me too but i'm not sure if the 9 inches length of the Curt 51180 will be too close from the the ground considering the vertical orientation when plugged in ?!
Check the Model X's manual. Under the trunk, it's the 7 pin plug from the vehicle who's oriented toward the ground...
Anyone doing an aftermarket hitch receiver given the crap weight ratings with the factory one on the refresh? If so, which one, and what were the installers suggestions about weight limits? Weight limits as in "vertical load" limit of 120 pounds. Yes, I know there's other threads out there, I'm just seeing if there's any value in doing it or not. This is kind of making it a make or break issue over my purchase at this point.
That’s like if you have a bike rack. It has a much higher tongue weight of 350-500 lbs (for a trailer).
I generally would think (cue opinion here, not based on specific knowledge) that the limit of the Tesla hitch receiver reflects the structural limit of the vehicle itself. Ie you may harm the vehicle structure if you use an aftermarket hitch receiver to increase the vertical load limit. (?) link: Model X Owner's Manual | Tesla

Heck no. I look at the Cybertruck and see it's a bunch of compromises - and years off at the earliest. I'd rather go with Rivian at that point - suits my needs with the only issue being the charging.Cybertruck CANNOT come soon enough

Supposedly, Tesla had another record quarter: Tesla sets another record quarter with 310,048 vehicle deliveries in Q1 2022
Would love a breakdown of each vehicle type.

I've never tried or used CarBuyerUSA, but the others have all come in roughly 10,000 to 12,000 less than Tesla trade-in amount on my 2018. Not counting the sales tax credit.
My July, 2022 EDD changed in early March to March 24-April 12 for a good while. Now its back to July, 2022 again. I wouldn't make any big plans around your new date range.
Don't worry. It won't.But I agree Cybertruck CANNOT come soon enough… GigaTexas
I have the same config and in Socal. Order date 4/24. Hoping mine will be soon too. Did you get FSD?
USB naming is really confusing. The "Type" is the shape of the outlet. The number is the tech standard.
That said. I would assume the glove box has a Type-A, USB 3.0 outlet.
