Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
looking forward to it.
'system' freezes is such a loaded term. Meanwhile Beta and even regular NOA continue working without flinching during a reboot. I've even gotten into the car and with what looks like a 'bricked car' thing-- the stalks work and car goes into drive, and I just drove away with the black rebooting screen, after realizing the car wasn't 'bricked'. I hate that term lol. So many chips and computers and places of computer control. It's quite beautiful in a way.
I got vinned a couple of days ago also picking up in Merritt Island so maybe youll get vinned soon
This may be heresy I know. But I'm thinking of delaying my X if it ever arrives. The new Beta software 10.11.2 downloaded the other day is so drastically improved on my '18 MX100D, just wow. I don't want to have Beta torn from my hands when getting my new Starship and they make you start over with a new vehicle. Tesla may not add any more beta testers before wide release, and who knows when that will be, one wonders? Those matrix headlights on refresh are the only thing that will push me over the top to leave Beta at this point, it's just so good. With my July EDD, timing might just work out.
@Smoot I took delivery in Merrit island 2 weeks ago! They were great its also a lot less chaotic then Eatonville

Depending on your state buying FSD before purchase vs aftermarket will result in more taxes.
I find myself in a similar boat, with a Dec 2020 order for a 7 seater.
There are some good options out there but the current market adjustments (35K for Cadillac and 45K for the new RR with a 5K non refundable down payment) coupled with the feeling that I will certainly miss not going with the Tesla makes the whole scenario easier to handle.
Good luck with your search - hope you find something that you like!

Figured it out. You basically have to stomp the throttle quickly and then it doesn't try to lurch forward.
That was the DS Ally at the Fremont delivery center. She used the word "exciting" when describing an update that she said she couldn't tell me about. She was clearly wrong.
I paid with Plaid linked to my credit union. Moved the money from Etrade a few days before that.
I wonder if any tax accountant knows how FSD can be written off after vs before purchase... like can I write of FSD 100% as a business expense after the fact vs if its tied to the vehicle before purchase but the car is only used for business purposes say 70-80% of the time... Like is it the same as buying software for the company vs buying a car for the company..

I would, and did. I figured it would take me 5 or so years to break even on the cost if I did the subscription. and being we can instantly get 2k off, im doing it.
Sales tax and yearly license fees, since based on the purchase price, will be higher forever. I'd punt and rent it for $199 to try it. I think you'll discover that it's not worth anything near $10K.
If I add FSD to my order, will that expedite my EDD! any thoughts?
I didn't and I still got it 3 months after ordering.
I bought my 2020 X in December 2019 when it was $6,000. There is zero chance I would pay $12ki for it today. Standard does almost the same. And the reality is it should becoming LESS expensive not more. There is ZERO extra hardware for adding FSD. Therefore the R&D for the software can now be divided between dramatically more cars. I.e. if they charged $1,000 per car and sold 1 million cars that would be $1 BILLION dollars! They are not spending $1 billion dollars on FSD.
