Whatever happened to the front bumper camera and ambient lighting?
- Thread starter jgilbs85
- Start date
Because its a 24/7 operation, so changes to the line can happen at seemingly arbitrary times since theres really no good stopping point.

I have the same EDD (for my X) and was told its build date was 3/1.
Frankly I’m glad to be getting the car that was made per my order (not a reject) with FUSC and FSD transfers to boot. Was offered a reject in December and could not shake it (put my order on hold and got the same car after releasing my hold) and had to cancel the order. 3 months later, I get FSD transfer added with the POs federal incentive in place. More than good enough for me.

There was no rumor of this. Someone else asked about this and you were the original source they cited.
Nothing on the internet, from Teslascope, or anywhere else I could find.
Do you have a link for this?

You cited @Tiger for the massaging seats rumor. It doesn't appear to have any substance, but if they have some sort of source fueling their belief that it may be coming, don't you think it would be beneficial?
Teslascope, Green, or other sources that have fueled the bumper camera and ambient lights haven't mentioned anything about massaging seats.
I’m not trying to be contrarian, but is it? Does Tesla really make Model X 24/7 year around?

Since you are the original source of massaging seats, where did you get it from?Yeah, they have some embargo going on
There's not anything on reddit or anything suggesting that may be possible. Do you have insider information or is it just a joke?

You may come to the same conclusion eventually but not only was it a joke, he’s one too. Most of us had to learn it the hard way to…ignore him.
Tesla has mentioned recently, that they are still having supply chain issues. This means that a predicted upgrade might not be possible till they actually get in the new parts and can validate their quality and effectiveness.
Tesla has a policy of continous improvements, so this, of course will often see a hoped for improvement not be coming in any individual car. People want to wait till all the new goodies are included, but this is an imperfect strategy.
At some point, a buyer needs to accept the configuration that is available at the time and accept delivery.
Millions of Tesla owners are happy with their cars, even though they may not have colorful ambient lighting nor a bumper camera.
FOMO is strong in the Tesla community.

I think it's just a forgone conclusion, what other changes to distinguish from Highland? Range drop? More range?
Range, speed, luxuries like the screen behind the wheel, size, air suspension, charging speed, falcon wing doors on the MX, etc.
Assuming that massaging seats are coming is a huge leap, especially considering how few vehicles have them globally.
You made this assumption on wish list from a single poster on a message board.

I don’t think massaging seats jive with Tesla’s sensibility. Even if they could do it, they would not.
Without even making that assumption, there's no substance to believing they are imminent. Nothing leaked, no new parts catalog, no even hint that's what Tesla is planning on something like that unlike the ambient lights and bumper camera.
It was just odd seeing people expecting. not hoping for, massaging seats. In the end, it's just a wish list like Car Play/Android Auto, which we know aren't coming, yet many still ask with each update.

All Tesla's EV competitors have massaging seats in S/X size class and have better build quality. They need to do something. Just first principles thinking.
"All"?
What EV under $100k has them? Ford ditched them in the Platinum (a truck, I know). Rivian doesn't.
Many manufacturers offer them as upgrades. They are an upgrade on Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, and Lucid that take the car over $100k.
Again, you wanting them is different than Tesla planning to implement them.
Also massage seats, in my experience from owning BMW and Mercedes are worthless IMHO Almost almost as much of a waste of time as noise canceling
I loved them in my F150. I never drove with them off.Also massage seats, in my experience from owning BMW and Mercedes are worthless IMHO Almost almost as much of a waste of time as noise canceling
