Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

[RWS63862]

So now with the check list, we are LITERALLY accruing a toolbox of esoteric instruments (“2 plane 360 laser plum”) which we shall each have to develop facility in handling and interpreting?

It seems like this can be fixed with alignment so I don’t think I would reject a car for this. ?

I’m afraid the EOQ push is over and we are all going to see a July EDD for a while.

Yes, July EDD seems to be very prevalent now. Fingers crossed ours will be sooner.

I have an estimated delivery date, no VIN, May 13 - June 3. Original order 6/4/21, LR, 7-seater, black interior and exterior, 20in rims. Updated to 6-seater and white exterior in March. Chicago suburbs.

Did you get the updated EDD today? I am an April 2021 order, 7 to 6 seater, in Chicago and still showing July EDD.

Yes, I checked the app today and saw that I have an EDD range.

Fantastic Delivery, yesterday! I walked the mile and a half to the service center on a beautiful 83° day. Immediately downed two bottles of water. The free water made me forget the extra $5500 I paid for those sexy 22" wheels. I think I can now call it even.

The car is in great shape. They had fixed the two panel issues I noticed weeks ago and now I couldn't find anything to complain about. I quickly loaded my Tidal account, turned up the music, and drove my rocket ship home. (Note to self: while driving, play Elton John's Rocket Man).

This car is everything I had hoped it would be. I still cannot believe it's mine. I kinda feel now it's my obligation to be the kind of person who deserves a car like this. Time to be more productive and give back something to this world that has treated me pretty good.

Love the sentiment.

So, we cancelled our X.
Our situation changed (a little bit, and for the better), and we need a car very soon. Since we live in Europe, that's not going to be the X. My wife is looking for an ICE alternative now.
I've been looking forward to it since February last year, and it's dominated quite a bit of our lives. Ordering the X was a big decision, letting it go was as well.
I do have to say that this thread has been exceptionally supportive; thanks everyone!

I fully understand your decision.
Tesla communication is the worst I've ever seen.
If I would not need a 6 seater, I would also cancel.

This poor communication made us buy an Fiat 500e instead of an Model 3SR as 2nd car.
Now, the pressure is a bit gone and if there is an good alternative coming, eg. an EQS, we'll get this and sell our remaining Model 3 Performance.

I'm with this company since 7 years now, but it kills step by step all of the sympathy I ever had.

So I stopped obsessively checking my app every day for an EDD for a couple of weeks after that last EDD was updated and reverted back to October.

Checked it today and have a May 11-15 EDD and a VIN# 7SAXCBE63NF341xxx

Almost dropped the phone!

If u waited two more weeks to check, u would miss the delivery

Just picked up a new M3 to update my wife's 2018 M3. I asked them if they were delivering any model X, sho told me one every now and then. None in the parking lot. July is not looking good. Raleigh, NC

UGH - I'm in that July Raleigh bucket..was hoping it would be sooner.

July EDD changed to May 14th - June 4th this morning, no VIN yet.

Original order Oct 21, LR 6 seat Blue 20" Black interior FSD (might remove it before delivery), NYC area.

FSD worth $10,000? Trying to save a little money here. I can always get subscription in the future right?

You're the first one to get some movement with change in seat configuration (from 7 seats) that I'm aware. Very tempted to switch to a 6 seater. Thanks for the info.

 

[TM_X]

Mine got updated today. EDD May 11 - Jun 1st. No VIN yet.
Ordered May 21.

 

[EV-lutioin]

Got my VIN today!!! Delivery in 3 days in Fremont. After all that waiting three days is super fast... I'm not sure if I can get off work and drive 4 hours to Fremont, secure finances and get insurance that fast. Wait, wait, wait, wait... GOOOOO!

Seems like 5/6 seaters are moving along.

If you're asking it's probably best that you subscribe as needed.

It never goes to high or higher on its own in my garage. Only holding pillar button would go higher. I had set to full height just outside garage. Inside it always opened low. There was an option to be less safe on height (I forget it’s wording) but I never used it. Better to stop low than to high. I just lived with it and never had an accident. But it was tedious to use the pillar button every time in the garage

Thanks!

For those wondering, we did go about it and the door moves up (and out) only for the duration that you keep the open button pressed on the pillar. In other words, it will go in as many incremental steps as you'd want it to be. I need to figure out how to store the setting for the location but that's for another day

Okay, Delivery Update 3. Some Pointers.

1. When Tesla calls to inform you to schedule a delivery appointment, be sure to ask where the car is now. They can check this on their computer list. I'm in the SE, about as far away from Fremont as you can get this side of the People's Republic of Florida. If you're told it's still @ Fremont, take heed. If they tell you to make your appointment for 3-5 days later and you're far away, it will probably not be the time frame when you actually take possession. I've bought two Teslas and have learned it takes 2 weeks minimum to get a car from Fremont to a delivery center near me in the SE, and I guess the same holds true for the NE. They have to wait for the truck to take it to a railhead, load it onto a train, and then it's up to the railroad how fast your X gets to where it's going. American railroads aren't all that fast delivering freight. Once it gets to a Tesla destination near you (in my case Birmingham, AL), they have to unload it and a truck has to come, load your X and then drive to the Delivery Center where you will actually take possession. Once the Delivery Center has it, and this came straight from my delivery center, they like to have 48-72 hours to do final prep, check it over and make it look pretty for when you arrive. This all takes 2-3 weeks. Anyone telling you that a coast to coast delivery can take place in 5-7 days is being overly optimistic. Doesn't happen.

2. I learned this one the hard way. Tesla wants proof that your insurance activates 3 days before actual delivery and extends a minimum of 60 days after you take ownership. Early on, someone at Tesla told me I needed a binder on my insurance, and that I should upload it. So I did the next day. Thursday, the delivery center kid told me Tesla doesn't accept binders. You need an insurance card showing your Tesla is covered. In my state (GA), that means it must have the VIN on the card. I handled this by email with my insurance company along with a phone call in one business day. (Tip: When you upload proof of insurance, do not try to upload a .pdf. You'll get the spinning T of death and uncertainty if you try. I did, bad idea. Take a photo of your insurance card and upload that -- jpeg, png, tiff etc. Works fine).

3. If you're making a large down payment with partial financing like I am, it's okay to show up with 2 checks at delivery. The Tesla app will bug you to make final payment on your portion prior to delivery. You don't have to do that. I'm taking two checks: 1) a cashiers check drawn on my bank account at a credit union and 2) a check for the remaining purchase balance paid by my credit union. You can set up an internet check payment via the Tesla app; I refuse to do that when it's tens of thousands of dollars. Call me paranoid. Do not try to pay your portion of the invoice with a personal check, credit card, bitcoin, gold bars or tulip bulbs. You will be turned away. Cashiers checks and checks drawn on financial institutions' accounts. I guess they'd take cash, but the IRS might show up at your house wanting to know what you're doing running around with suitcases full of $100 bills and whether you associate with someone named El Lobo. (Do the cashiers check).

4. If you used the paying cash option when ordering the car, make sure to let Tesla know you've changed your mind and will be doing some financing when they first contact you about delivery. Don't forget to tell them.

5. My credit union is not all that familiar with how Tesla operates. They're used to cutting checks to traditional ICE franchise dealerships. (My loan officer said I was her first Tesla and she was so excited). I had to patiently explain that Tesla doesn't have a dealership network, everything is done directly with the company. (When I told her you can order a Tesla online in about 2 minutes, no guys involved with 12 gold chains around their neck wanting to know what they can do to get you in this car today, I think she almost fainted). It simply did not compute at first.

6. Financial institutions demand they be listed as a lien holder in official bill of sale documentation. The Purchase Agreement Tesla uploads that you can download does not fulfill this requirement: list the lien holder (finance company) by name along with its address. I had a minor brouhaha with my credit union over this regarding the purchase agreement and finally gave them the number to call Tesla's Kennesaw delivery center directly to tell them exactly what they need. They did and whatever was said satisfied the credit union. The flack stopped, everybody's happy now.

I pick up the checks Tuesday and will place them in a safe guarded by 2 German Shepherds borrowed from my niece. Don't try it, Bo weighs in at a hefty 120 lbs and has very big teeth. That is all for now.

I can validate #6. I've gone back-and-forth between Tesla and my credit union about 8 times in the last 24 hours trying to get this straight.

Best of luck! Maybe Berlin will expand to S & X

You can’t. I never could. But if you want to turn off the safe height thing that might, but I would never risk it.
