Took delivery yesterday… on the Bowlus!
Been a bit busy, more details later.

Alright, who’s taking their new charge port X to Munro to tear down the IP to see if the screen motors are present?

Short of a typical Elon tweet where he retroactively says "blah blah all cars made since blah have blah", I think the only way we'll know which cars have it for sure will be when the next OTA update drops. Seems like the S in the tweet/video had a pre-release build for some reason.

Today marks the one-year anniversary since I ordered, the least exciting anniversary I’ve had in my life…

To date no 7 seaters have been delivered. We've seen 2 VINs assigned. I think it's safe to say switching to 6 seat will get it sooner than staying at 7 seat. Noone can tell you how much sooner as delivery times are all over the place.

even switching may not make difference, If Tesla goes on 7 seat delivery mode, it may even delay 6 seater, My opinion is stick to configuration that meets your need the most, if 6 seat work better, by all means switch, if 7 seat work stay put, don't try to out smart Tesla and its randomness

Do southeast deliveries usually stop in Alabama for a few days before being transported to their final destination?

 

[UncaNed]

Does anyone actually HAVE a recent Plaid X with working tilt screen motors yet??? I'm picking mine up on Saturday...

I'm hoping...

Could anything turn us into stupid, greedy little kids so much as anticipating our new Teslas? Part of me was grumpy because I missed the latest MCU or something on my March 2018 Model X...

The problem or no problem is that with tesla no one knows nothing.

Tesla updates Model S/X with new swivel screen for better in-car viewing experience

Tesla center screen in Model S and Model X has been updated with a motorized swivel capability enabling a better in-car viewing experience.

I don't want to click on Electrek... - did they say when they start shipping tilt-screen Plaid X's?? Have they already? Thanks.

I visit my store regularly because it's a shortcut around the BS phone system they have. Depending on who's there, I can get more information.

I am always as pleasant as I can be since they're just doing their jobs and that seems to help.

I was told my car was in Alabama and in-transit on Sunday and Monday. Someone on Reddit once said there's a rail staging area here:

With Alabama being 9 hours away, I would expect once the car leaves Alabama the next stop is my delivery center.

Screenshots? Can you actually do that with a refreshed X? How?

Sorry... I meant Pictures of the screen

 

[mswlogo]

anybody plan on just leaving the carpet mats and just placing the Tesmanians on top or do u really have to remove the carpet ones to fit these?

That’s exactly what I have done with MaxPider mats in the 3, X and S. The thicker the quieter.

My S is as quiet as a library when doing 70mph.

Also added panoramic roof shade in the S.

@jbrowdy , how do you know Model X Plaid 5-seaters are already being delivered???????????

I really need one for my wheelchair; they told me they weren't delivering any and I'd have to wait, now they're shipping them after all?? The 6-seater I settled for is supposed to arrive in a week... I'm kind of not happy about this.

I got one! It's awesome. let me know if you need any specific information and I'll do what. Here is my delivery video plus there are newer videos as well.

The question was about Plaid. Is your 5-seater a Plaid? My understanding is that Tesla is only producing Plaid in 6-seaters; 5-seaters are only available as Long Range.

Yes, I believe they are taken by train from Fremont to Birmingham, AL and then trucked from there.

It's a little silly to speculate whether it's "real" or not. It's real guys.

And they don't announce upcoming incremental features... ever. Only rumors on leaks are what we see on Twitter. This one was apparently just easier to hide. But Tesla does this all the time (remember how they shipped heated steering wheels on the Y for months before turning it on?).

The real question is what is the VIN / build-date cutoff for this feature. So far all reports are a very vague "latest". Really hoping this means the basic "refresh refresh" with the charge port, so all of those folks at least will have it. This would be in-line with what Tesla usually does, seemingly to avoid having people cancel pending deliveries to get a single new feature like this.

Good point on Tesla trying to avoid the Osbourne effect. I'll buy it. It's still strange to me that an aftermarket guy was the first to see this on a shipped S/X, or maybe it just happened to be his latest client. Call me incorrect and wrong as hell and go back to talking about opening FWDs in the garage or new interest rates or something. Hopefully we'll get this new swivel at the same time as the center of the wheel horn feature, those fancy new matrix headlights and FSD Gamma in wide release.

It was apparently a customer.

The S cutoff date is April 29th or earlier, which is when that particular car was delivered. People are citing that date as the BUILD date, but it was actually the DELIVERY date, so chances are it's been in cars built well before that.

We still haven't seen any proof that it's in the X as well, so something to keep in mind. If the unfortunate trend holds, the X lags a month or two relative to the S in terms of features like this.

So, IF the swivel is real, it only goes left to right and not up/down to avoid sun glare?

Screen seems more upright in the refresh than in the original. Do you have issues with it now?
