Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Of course Tesla superchargers ramp down their chargers more to go easier on the battery later in the charge. But then again, the Tesla allows a higher charge rate at Electrify America. Who to trust?
I’m sure some guys on here can explain better?
And to you as well. Hope your VIN arrives with a perfect delivery very soon.
I trust the company that has to warranty my battery and pay to replace it for an early failure.
After rejecting my car and then being reassigned the vin a few days later, the sa put my order on hold until that vin was reassigned. Today I see my edd is now november-January. They said when i rejected the first one that it would be pretty quick and i had a July-august edd when i was reassigned the prior vin. Now this. Blue/white 6 seater LR fwiw
Headed to pick up my Model X this morning. Is there a checklist for inspection for the 2022s?
Here’s one.
But don’t worry too much. Tesla has always done the right thing with our Y. Unless your X has a huge issue, service is good at mending concerns.

Thanks. Vegan leather, ha. Vinyl. I wish that Tesla didn’t pander to PETA and just made leather seats standard. What’s more renewable than cows?
While I think the whole anti-cowhide sentiment is misled, I think it’s good PR and alternate faux leather materials are getting really good. Also, most people don’t care.
Perhaps most importantly, synthetic materials can come in mass-production-facilitating rolls.
Side note: it’s just like the misunderstanding of cow emissions. Grass takes CO2 out of the air, and cows don’t put back more carbon than they eat. More grass grows and takes the same amount of carbon back out of the air. Cows are, at worst, net zero contributors to the current atmospheric CO2.
It’s the carbon that has been stored underground for millennia in coal/oil etc that is adding to current CO2 levels.

Don’t forget about us. Give a mini review on how it drives compared to what you’ve driven previously and what you think overall.

Leather is a byproduct of meat industry. No matter the leather is available whereas vinyl and other faux leathers are made from petroleum. BTW I don’t eat beef.
1) up to the announcement that the vehicles would no longer have mobile adapters, yes. After the announcement, $200 price (and $400 for the wall connector, btw a mind blowing good price)
2) they charge at up to 32 amps not max 24.
Higher interest rates will also subdue used vehicle demand even more than new and will eventually put an end to price craziness in the market
The Fed will hike rates until these are back to being a depreciating asset
220v adapter was stopped 2 years ago. Current Mobile chargers do 32A if you buy the adapter
One more quick review and tips for those who were wanting to get something to use for sentry mode other than the usb thumb drive tesla gives you with your X.
I ordered this: SAMSUNG SSD T7 Portable External Solid State Drive 1TB, Up to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Reliable Storage for Gaming, Students, Professionals, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray https://a.co/h9V4rDZ
As well as this: Strenco 2 Inch Hook and Loop Strips with Adhesive - 5 Yards - Heavy Duty Tape - Black Sticky Back Fastener https://a.co/3kB8B2t
The drive is super small and comes with all the cables you’ll need. Take the drive out of the box, plug the cable into the glove box USB slot, then go to Safety tab in settings and tell it to format the drive. It will format it and setup the folders you need in seconds while you’re in the vehicle. It’s really just that easy to set one up.
Then just apply the adhesive fastener to one side of the drive and to the interior of the glove box. Pro tip there’s a reason there are two rolls in the box, one is the hook and one is the loop lol. Need to use one roll for the SSD side and one roll for the glove box otherwise the Velcro ain’t gonna work. I totally didn’t just put two strips from the same roll like a moron. Nope definitely didn’t do that.
Photos of it in place - it’s super secure. I tested by honking and creating new dashcam clips. Performance is way better for browsing the clips onboard with the built in dash cam viewer app versus the tesla provided USB thumb stick. Drive is easily removable due to the Velcro if you want to hook it to a computer to look at clips.
If you wanted to use a shorter usb cable and mount it differently you’ll need a USB-A to USB-C cable. The car side is USB-A port and the drive uses USB-C.

This is admittedly WAY off topic but I’m compelled to ensure an accurate understanding of the methane emissions of our very tasty four legged bovine friends. While it’s true that grass scrubs CO2 from the atmosphere, it is not the simple ingestion of said grass that releases the carbon content of that grass. Instead, cows have two stomachs for the specific purpose of breaking down the very tough cellulosic materials they eat. Grass, hay, corn (and not the sweet corn you love!). Instead billions of bacteria are doing this job in the cow gut and the byproduct of those little critters is methane and CO2. In my youth, yes, I’ve raised many a calf so know a thing or two about their inner workings. Now we all know. Time to get back to topic cause it’s UDDERLY ridiculous these EDD wait times!
thing of beauty
To those waiting, may your time come soon.
And to all the dads here who want to transport their kids in the safest SUV ever, Happy Father’s Day!
And yes I should have rotated the screen toward my youngest while he was playing oops
