Nice that Tesla gives us an official update but I've learned to be skeptical about their time promises.
There's no reason to be skeptical. When I put my reservation in, Tesla said that production would begin in 2013. I'm going to hold them to that!You beat me to it. Nice that Tesla gives us an official update but I've learned to be skeptical about their time promises.
Last time Tesla said that X production would start in Q2'15. Now moving it back to early 2015?

I strongly believe that the reason for MX delays from early 2014 to late 2014 and then to Q2'15 was strong demand for MS. If Tesla is able to sell 35K units in 2014 all being Model S, there is no need to introduce X. I was hoping for another delay of X toward 2016, that would have meant that Tesla would be able to sell 50k+ cars all being S in 2015...
Not likely, but hopefully this decision is based not on flattening demand for S, but based on removing supply&production constrains (battery cells) ahead of schedule.
I like wheels style
I think it's related to the kludgey and real-world impracticality of the falcon doors. I wonder if they now regret making that the focal point of the MX.I strongly believe that the reason for MX delays from early 2014 to late 2014 and then to Q2'15 was strong demand for MS.
As far as the timeline goes, this fits with my expectations of late - a belief that sometime near the end of Q1 I'd see my Model X. I'd hoped to see it by end of 2014, but I reset that expectation when the design issue surfaced.
They've consistently said (and I have confirmation from other sources) that this is not the reason. You know that they are expanding the production line capacity in Fremont. Why not believe Elon when he says there was a design problem that set them back?
There were a lot of disappointed people when that happened, including me. But I supported the decision to get the design right. It was the right thing to do. Why attach other reasons to what happened?

I suspect nearly everyone posting here will have received the same thing, but just in case...

Got the email too! Definitely glad that they gave us an update. But seriously, the 3rd row is optional?? I bet most potential buyers assumed it's standard!
