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".
No, they confirmed ASAP and then did switch to the 6 seat configuration once it was offered. Their DS has said very little, but does eventually respond with' I will let you know as I know.' They have been frustrated and I mentioned that things seemed to be speeding up. So, they contacted their DS again and yesterday he responded saying they are not yet in production.

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

Oh I see. And we all would appreciate your PM when you receive your model X. I saw Max's six seat photo, but my sister in law just wants to see how much space there is between the six seats (folding down) vs five seats. The cargo area is a concern for her. At any rate, they would be thrilled if you provide a chance for them to view the seats and cargo area. Thanks so much Mark Z

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.

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?

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Nobody has a clue. Some are even speculating that they may be different seats that fold! :smile:

Yes I understand. I have two good size dogs and so the 5 seat configuration was the only one for us. But my brother has two kids, two dogs and his family is active. So I guess some people need to see the vehicle in person to visualize how they will utilize the space how their family fits into that space. Thanks Again Mark Z

It's worth noting that in February 2015, during the Q4 call, Elon said: "we don't want delays which affected the X affect the Model 3. There's many adventurous things we want to do, but it won't be in the first rendition; we want to stay on track"
Right after, he also said "we're not going to go super crazy with the design of the initial version of the Model 3".

Mark, I read in this forum that the dash board would still show "confirmed" even after the delivery. Bonnie and Kenneth could confirm that.

Yes Mark, I guess the most important thing is seeing the six seats. She can visualize the fifth seat as I have shown her photos since being here. 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!
The Q3 Shareholder letter said they expect an average of 1,600 to 1,800 vehicles (S + X) produced per week for 2016--I would expect the production to be a bit below that in Q1 and a bit higher than that in Q4. I would expect Q1 to be heavy on MX production as they burn of the reservation backlog. I have not seen anything that hints at the long-term product mix between MX and MS beyond Elon's comments that they expect the MX to outsell the MS.

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.
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.
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.

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.

The back row folds down without moving the middle row forward, yes. The back row headrests fold forward 90 degrees, then the backs of the seats fold forward to create a flat space. If you look for the cargo dimensions thread I posted after the reveal in September you'll see that gives you about 50" of level cargo space before you get to the backs of the middle seats in their standard position. In cargo mode those middle seats slide forward 10" to give you at least 60" of space (cargo mode may do better than I was able to manually do at the reveal for getting the middle row moved forward) but then you have the 'cliff' from the backs of the rear seats to the floor. In 6 seat config you gain a gap between the middle seats that's 15" wide and gives you 80" (6' 8") of linear space to the back hatch.

MaxK, can you post a picture from the back into the car with the 3rd row folded down?
I'm quite sure the 3rd row seats are identical for the 6- and 7-seat configurations. This video from Mark Templeton shows how the 3rd row seats work. There' a bunch of other videos and photos on Mark's iCloud Share
