    I have little grandkids - that's a good point but it's convenient to hit the phone app - just a tap to turn on the climate on to start cooling the car or open doors, etc. I'm usually on the phone anyway lol. I've heard stories of guys with the keys in their pockets accidentally opening doors...

    A few notes on our MX LR so far! It's been three weeks since delivery and I had hoped to post pics after ceramic coat and tint. Our front windshield tint had to be ordered and is still not finished. Will post pictures as soon as it's finished. Here are some observations: Yoke: I love it...

    Louisville, KY Service Center coming soon?

    Awesome! I bought a new model x a few weeks ago and have to get a minor adjustment on the falcon wing doors. I'm holding out for the Louisville service center to open to avoid the drive back and forth to the Blue Ash Road location.

    Not sure if this has been covered here but couldn't find anything. Has anyone who has taken delivery so far got their MX LR with badging? Mine doesn't say MX anywhere on the car. Not that big of deal, I just know the pre-refresh did have them. The new plaid has a badge as well.

    Not going with the blue. Just the standard color ceramic tint. Doing 20% on the sides and 50% on the front. I was going to go with 70% on the front windshield, but not very dark. Also have the white interior which makes it brighter inside. I was on the fence about tinting the front windshield...

    Just a little info I found out last week - if you are buying out of state because there is no tesla dealer in your state, make sure that you get your new car's state inspection at the DMV before tinting - especially if tinting front windows and windshield. I had mine scheduled for ceramic and...

    I feel your frustration! I was a June order same as you. My dates jumped around exactly the same as yours.

    Same place that had the steering wheel wrap. Company is called TWRAPS - they were extremely easy to put on. It was only 35 for both screens. I wasn’t worried about scratches really. I wanted them because the regular glass screen has a glare and also shows finger prints really bad.

    Got our screen protectors on as well as our TWRAPS cover for the steering wheel. Huge fan of this look. Super easy to install and also has a well defined Tesla T on the wheel now. Also put in the ToughPro floor mats. I love the design and the fact they are flat. Not a big fan of the ones with...

    Got it home yesterday. The Cincinnati team was friendly and made delivery go smooth. Here are a few things to note. The build date was April 25. It does have the tilt screen. I asked why there was such a gap between the build date and delivery date. They told me many cars were sitting in...

    Great question. I kind of took a leap of faith. I’ll let you know how it works out..hopefully I don’t have to take an Uber back to Louisville lol. It would have to be pretty bad for me to reject it. I think most recent deliveries that I’ve been tracking are much improved quality.

    Model X 2022 Refresh model windshield tinted

    Are you tinting front windshield? I’m leaning in the direction of 50% on the front. Is that too dark? Since I’m picking up in Cincy and have to get my out of state inspection, the tint shop said do the inspection first so I don’t fail. Think’n 20% side windows.

    I would have to disagree with you on that one. As someone who has had leather in vehicles for over 30 years - the fake leather is not like old vinyl seats. My Model 3 is four years old, and the seats have been more comfortable, easier to maintain and still looks great (even though it's white)...

    It's inconsequential if you've already ordered. Your price is locked in. If you order same configuration today, it cost 33K more than I'm paying. Unbelievable. I realize it's a long wait, but Tesla deserves props for honoring all the old pricing.

    Yes I agree! I will give up our X one day after delivery to get ceramic and tint finished. Thanks for the info. We usually use baby wipes that work very well.

    I wouldn't be overly concerned with that until you take a look. I thought the 340 VIN's were an early May build. I may be wrong on that. I have a 3407XX VIN so I'm 700 cars after yours.. They started moving quite a bit per week.

    I’m paying cash as well. Definitely not dumb to pay cash. A paid for car just drives better in my opinion.

    They dropped my trade off as well. Did yours happen to be over the 30 days? They told me they would re-evaluate my trade once I get a vin. I have carmax as a back up if I don’t like the trade in offer they give. The last offer was a fair one.

    I don't think it would affect it. The text from Freemont that I got actually suggested removing it until I get a VIN and said it wouldn't slow down a delivery date. They can evaluate my trade once I get closer to delivery of my X. The only problem with this is that if they low ball me, I'll...

    Sorry to hear. Do you have FSD on it? I have a 2018 M3 LR that I’m trading in for my MX LR - if you put your VIN in, at least a couple quotes I got for it didn’t give any credit for FSD. When you get your value, insist on make and model instead. That way you’ll get a few thousand credit at least.

    I don't think you will get dinged for that unless there is another car approaching in the lane and the car auto corrects to avoid an accident.
