I got a key fob cover. Very cute. Put it on one of the key fobs, put the key fobs away, and haven’t even TOUCHED them since.
In fact I just checked to make sure they’re still there. Yep

Alright, delivery day came and went today. Day 551 since reservation. Contactless, went super smooth even if it was 100 degrees outside. Checked the car out for about 20 minutes and already had to set up a service appointment though. Here are my two cents after 20 miles or so-
Paint:
Minor: bumper alignment, obvious paint seams around welds, and when you peek inside the panel gaps. Doesn't matter, it's all getting wrapped matte anyway.
Major: What looks to be poorly done touch up on top of the trunk by the driver's side FWD. Is the trunk made of steel or aluminum? Worried about rust if it's steel. Also some extra paint or crud got stuff during painting where the FWD bumper meets the inside frame. Hoping TEsla would at least fix the trunk paint issue because oxidation could start bubbling the paint underneath.
FWD:
No differences in gap I can see of all the major panels, but the passenger FWD does not close perfectly flush. Also has about a 40-50% chance of stopping short of closing. Seems like a sensor related thing, maybe the tech can also fix the alignment to make it flush with the front door. Put that in the service request too.
Screen has a little bit of condensation after blasting the A/C but I suspect that's probably normal.
Interior quality is just about perfect. Seat has no folds or wrinkles. Already missed the wheel a couple times with the yoke but getting used to it. My kid is crazy about the screen in the back.
No fobs. Got the mobile charger. Everything else is incredible. The quietest car I've driven, at highway speeds night and day from my 2020 M3LR. Crazy smooth, suspension on comfort is the way I would only drive it. Has crazy pep up top unlike the M3 which is crazy down low. Handling is great so far.

Screen condensation as described occurs in mine as well. Glad your seats have no wrinkles!
Best car in the whole world, even better than the S because of the auto-presenting doors.
Definitely get the paint fixed. Hope you put in your fix-request within the first hundred miles.

Send it to me and you don’t have to care about it!I got a key fob cover. Very cute. Put it on one of the key fobs, put the key fobs away, and haven’t even TOUCHED them since.

It is worth it to get 4 gauge wire to replace the 6 gauge, IMO.

Scheduled to get my X tomorrow. They switched my delivery location from Temecula to Palm Springs as they are making some changes and said much less hectic at Palm Springs.
Been a long wait, but this will be my 3rd X. They are truly remarkable vehicles...life altering.

I have a Model S Plaid and was considering changing my SUV for the X Plaid. Have had a reservation for a plug in hybrid Tucson for the last 8 months with no movement yet.
When I look on the site, it says expected delivery Aug to Oct 22. How accurate are these windows? For the Plaid, do they usually come fairly quickly? My S came super fast.
Thanks!

So, I just realized this feed was here…. Not sure where I have been.
I ordered my MXLR in May 21. Watched my EDD jump all around. It got to the point I stopped caring. I originally ordered this as a dream, and only planned to take delivery if all the stars aligned. Welp I guess they did.
Towards the end of July, I got the “hold” email, I figured I’d say I was still interested.
Shortly thereafter I got a text about my trade-in. So at that point I figured I was close. I still figured there was no way I could go through with the purchase. I sent them my current 17X’s info as a trade-in. Once their offer came in, I was a) shocked & b) realized I could do this. For my trade in, Tesla offered me more for my X than I paid two years ago and 30,000 miles ago.
So I decided with the equity from my current X and my locked in lower price, I’d be an idiot to not get the new better X.
So late July/ early August, I got a vin, and a few days ago I scheduled delivery.
It’s been a process, but I’m looking forward to the new X.
I’ll miss free supercharging, but I don’t charge all that much away from home.

Seeking the counsel of the gods here:
Originally placed MXLR 22/FSD/W/W on May 25, 2021. It was taking too long so I placed another order for same config for a Plaid on April 17, 2022. I wanted to see which one will be ready first and also my wife could take the MXLR if anything. Got a VIN for the Plaid 2wks ago and picking it up on 8/15. Got a VIN for the MXLR yesterday but my wife already have a new car and we don’t need it. I’d like to transfer the MXLR order/VIN to someone if possible. How do I proceed if this is possible?

Well, they must still so some updating at 705AM Pacific Time. My EDD updated 30 minutes ago from Sept 10 - Oct 22 to Sept 6 - Oct 11. Will keep everyone informed!
This looks relatively accurate to me. Some people recently have been getting one within a month of ordering and other orders from the beginning of the year are just getting theirs now. It all depends on location and if they end up having one with your config. I know last quarter at the end they also had several plaids in inventory, so if you are flexible on config\location, you might be able to pick up one of those as well.
I'm pretty sure once a VIN is assigned you can't assign the order to someone else. Even without a VIN it sounds relatively difficult to transfer. I think you would have to take delivery and then resell it.
Original order date 6/12/21, got hold letter on 7/26. EDD WAS 10/16-12/11, but tightened this am to 10/11-11/22! First move in quite some time.
Ordered over a year ago. It is White/Tan/5 seater.
Will pick up at Noon today!
Will pick up at Noon today!
I got the in transit on 7/30, & the schedule delivery text on 8/4. So yours should be right behind.
