When I ordered the car, they had a "Delivered by beginning of 2016" sign for me. I never believed it and suspect that I might get it by the end of 2016. Any ideas on how many cars are to be made every month?

Did they delay their configuration? I configured on Sept 1 just after midnight. Of course there was the 6 seat switch, but the vehicle was in paint long ago. The VIN next to mine arrived at another service center over a week ago. With my Dec 15th email and the Dec 20th+ arrival schedule, it was clear the vehicle was ready to be shipped, but "My Tesla" still says "Confirmed".My friends who were sig 13x and vin 17x were told yesterday that they aren't even in production yet!
I saw your post at that time. I posted the VOLT photos, it wasn't a Model X. I have no idea when my delivery will take place. Since the OC Tesla group will be informed when it eventually occurs, I can send a PM at that time. In the meantime, scroll down at Max's 6 seat configuration and view the carpet where the seventh seat would have been: Vin 0062x pickup in Tampa 12/23 at 6pm - Page 6...We all visited a local service center a few days ago and were told we could not view color or seat configurations...
Since the five seat model will not be manufactured for some time, I don't how you can compare, unless you imagine the back two seats not existing. All of that could be checked out with a seven seat version because all three seats will exist in the 2nd row. For the six seat version, just imagine the center seat gone in the 2nd row. The two outer seats in the six are identical in the seven seat version....how much space there is between the six seats (folding down) vs five seats...

Wow, that is unexpected. You were on track for EOY delivery. What happened? More vehicle modifications? There are three days left, any chance it could swing back to EOY?
Nobody has a clue. Some are even speculating that they may be different seats that fold! :smile:Yeah, that's part of the info I've been trying to get from Tesla on the 5 seat model: is the back row entirely NOT THERE (I.e no rise up from the floor) or is the rear 'hump' still there?

..Tesla will hand over six Model 3 to hand picked insiders on Dec 30 of 2018. And then delivers the first few signature reservations at the end of Q1/19

With the reported electric folding rear seats, I am not sure what happens to the 2nd row. Bonnie is the one to ask. I would imagine that the buttons on the seat would lower them individually, and perhaps a "cargo mode" button (maybe on the touchscreen?) would lower the rear and move the second row forward. Call your Configuration Specialist, they may have an answer.... Do you know that the third row of six seat configuration does fold down while second row is in standard sitting position? I think I read that, but double checking. She will order today if she can figure this out...
I have a 6 seat Sig X. A couple of comments:With the reported electric folding rear seats, I am not sure what happens to the 2nd row. Bonnie is the one to ask.

Another option is to return to hang around the CM delivery center as deliveries take place. You could ask the buyers to lower the seats after they take delivery. Reports are that Costa Mesa has plenty of Model X to deliver as you saw the other day.
Mine said 'Confirmed' right up until the moment that we accepted delivery. It then changed to our ownership of the car and the status portion disappeared.Mark, I read in this forum that the dash board would still show "confirmed" even after the delivery. Bonnie and Kenneth could confirm that.
She really wants to see how the two back seats of the six seat configuration fold down. Then I think my sister in law will have her answer. Do you know that the third row of six seat configuration does fold down while second row is in standard sitting position? I think I read that, but double checking. She will order today if she can figure this out. Thanks so much Mark. My sister in law is appreciative of your help!
MaxK, can you post a picture from the back into the car with the 3rd row folded down?I have a 6 seat Sig X. A couple of comments:
1. The CARGO MODE is mentioned in the manual, but it is not yet in the UI. There is a button to move the second row seats forward, but no ability to control the 3rd row from the UI.
2. I can find no indication in the current UI, or buttons in the X, that the 3rd row seats are electric folding. There may be a motor that is controlled by a UI button not yet visible, but cannot confirm.
3. The 3rd row seats have a button near the headrest that folds the headrest down and then releases the seat to be manually folded down. The 3rd row seats can be folded down with the 2nd row seats in their normal position. To raise them, there is a handle to pull them up and then you manually lock the headrests back into place.
