Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
What is your VIN minus the last 2 numbers? I have a delivery date this week for a Plaid and trying to estimate it’s build date. My. vIN is 7SAXCBE62NF3427xx.
Fun little update… will post more later.
My EDD had shifted to 6/12-7/18 earlier this week. Yesterday I received a call from my local SA (who has been amazing, BTW) that someone with a MXP MSM (I ordered black) canceled their order while it was on the train to the Midwest. A bird in a hand is worth two in the bush… He changed my config to MSM and it matched the VIN. I love black, but happy with MSM, too!
Picking up this week! Build date is 5/12. MXP, MSM/black, 20, no FSD.

This is exactly what happened last year with the new Model Ses. In particular, I had a month for my EDD, then one day everyone moved to some point far in the future, then two or three days later, there were new dates, mine was a few weeks. As the time got closer it narrowed to a week. IIRC, it slipped a week or so and that was that.
Last year with my S the updated price didn’t show up until the day before. I also wrote a check on the spot rather than doing any of the other hooey.
Yeah but then the dealers are very committed: they will spare no expense to fix your problems.
Seems like the edd is also a placeholder. I have exact edd. 7 seat / black/ black /22 /fsd. Florida
Others will need to chime in on this one.
I have had 3 AWD Teslas and have not had front end drive issues.
No, he didn't know the reference with FWD meant Falcon Wing Doors and was wondering why there were so many issues with FWD (Front Wheel Drive). He only needed the clarification.
13-14 months has been about average for most of us. Some much worse and a few unicorns much faster.
I have a delivery scheduled for this week in Chicago too. I don’t have an amazing local SA. Would you be willing to share his/her name? And I have no idea where I am supposed to pick up. Grand or Elston?

So my new date range is Nov 2022 - Feb 2023. On a July 2021 order this is ridiculous! Am considering buying a Ioniq 5 or a Mach E this week (with federal tax credit) and then trading it in for my X whenever I eventually get it. As long as the depreciation during that time period and the sales tax and any dealer markup is covered by that tax credit then it should be a free temporary car for me. Open to hearing anybody’s opinion on this plan
that is a very good comparison , as I am picking up my X today, also coming from 2018 X,.Picked up 5 seat mx this morning. Surpassed any expectation I had coming from a 2018 X. This truly is a major upgrade. Yoke is great and easy, turn signals take 5 min to get used to. I've had 5 people drive it already and all had no issue with yoke or signals whatsoever. No major complaints.
Interesting points:
- The AC system is 10x better than the old X. Instant cold air.
- The ride quality is way better
- Road / tire noise is negligible. So quiet.
- Sound system is greatly improved but still rattles from subwoofer (my only real issue with car)
- Rear screen seems useless but have rear passengers be able to control AC or music makes a huge difference.
- Swivel screen is cool but not worth rejecting delivery over. (its not that big of a deal)
- ventilated seats are amazing
- Display is way better and more responsive
- backup camera quality seems poor compared to old X
- rear seats seem more comfortable than my old 5 seat X
- Way faster than old X LR
- Not sure how to describe it but the car just feels more solid and well put together.
Quality:
- Overall the quality was good. 6/10 based on what I have seen. The issues below are minor.
- Car was pretty dirty on outside, inside was clean except for glass was nasty
- Panel gaps not great (like other X's I've seen on here) but not that big of a deal to me. may ask to adjust left FWD
- Front driver seat has lost of creasing and folds but hopefully will fix itself over time.
- small dent on spoiler
- several small paint imperfections but not worried about them
- interior trim not snapped in all the way (I got to help assemble the car haha)
- interior trim has lots of adhesive residue.
- My only real issue I hope to address is a rattle from a clip near the subwoofer. Had the same issue on my old X.
I will try and think of more feedback worth sharing. Btw my wait was 461 days
