    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    Stevezzzz, wow, I am truly sorry for you. I know what it was like, waiting for our SigX that was delivered March 28th, as we watched all the production deliveries. I figured we must have been the last Sig, but it looks like you might have that honor. I hope you get your car soon, and I hope...

    X Turning Itself On

    I do have smart preconditioning set to off now, and I think that when I first set it to off, it might not have registered since I had to reboot the screen shortly after. Since the reboot and the smart conditioning set to off, I don't seem to have the issue with the screen and climate coming on...

    X Turning Itself On

    I see this happening prior to opening the door, just looking in the window. It even does it when the keyfob is hundreds of feet away. I was wondering if it could be the smart preconditioning, since both my work and home locations are programmed in, but it even does it with smart...

    X Turning Itself On

    Has anyone seen an issue with their Model X where they come back to find the touchscreen and climate running, even though they had left their car off? Car still seems to be locked. Sometimes, the rear spoiler will have gone back up as well. I've got ENERGY SAVING on, but it doesn't seem to...

    First Glitch - Pass Window Won't Go Up

    I had exactly that happen with our driver's side window. Try using the window button to run it all the way down, hold it there for a few seconds, then try running it back up. On mine, it fixed the problem, and it hasn't happened again since. Ron

    Green Car Reports Article

    Here is the review of our Sig X by David Noland of Green Car Reports. He is obviously more a Model S fan, but overall the article is fair, even if it does not communicate how much we totally love our Model X. 2016 Tesla Model X electric SUV first drive by Model S owner Ron

    Air suspension

    Yes it has GPS location. I use it to raise the suspension to high when we get close to pulling in on our dirt road. Works every time. I have it set to return to LOW whenever speed reaches 50 MPH, so I don't ever have to return it to LOW after leaving. Ron Sig X VIN #484

    Very loud fan noise from frunk area with AC on...

    Our Signature X has not made that noise (yet), but we were at the Fresno superchargers this weekend in 85F weather, and there was another Sig X charging as well. As we were walking across the parking lot, I suddenly heard a very loud fan noise coming from the other X, I'm guessing as he...

    v7.1 (2.15.50)

    I was happy to see that with the new update, you no longer have to hold the button on the second row seats to move them forward / backward. Just touch it once and it moves all the way forward. Ron Sig X VIN #484

    How many people got a "problem-free" Model X?

    We picked up our Signature X VIN #484 in Santa Barbara last Monday, and have put well over 1,000 miles on it since. It has been a fantastic car! Everything works just like it should. We have spent hours, if not days, showing it off to countless people, including a few reporters, and...

    How many people got a "problem-free" Model X?

    We picked up our Signature X in Santa Barbara on Monday, and the car is perfect. We have had no problems with it at all. I even spent hours going over it in detail yesterday for a writer with Green Car Reports. The car has been totally reliable, worry free, and extremely fun to drive. We...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    We took delivery of Signature VIN #484 today in Santa Barbara. The car is perfect! After so long a wait, we were glad to see no problems at all. We took it for a road trip the rest of the day, opening and closing door scores of times or more, with no problems at all. Also, the Sig red paint...

    Delivery feedback and pics for SC after a week

    We pick up our Sig VIN #484 tomorrow. I'll be looking for similar issues. Thanks for posting this. I think it serves an important function, so that future owners can be aware of these possible issues. I think that I find the seal issues and the rust the most worrisome. Ron SigX VIN #484 (soon)

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    Our Signature is scheduled for delivery this Monday March 28th. Hopefully our car will be flawless. Are we the last Signature to be delivered? Is there some kind of award for the last of the US Sigs? We are actually starting to spot production X's at our local supercharger. Who would have...

    Hazard lights won't stop blinking

    AC Morgan, sorry to hear about all your problems. Since we are picking up our Signature X Monday at the Santa Barbara SC, it certainly makes me worry about the rush to get them out for the end of the quarter. Hope they get everything fixed, and hope you have a great Easter trip in your new X...

    Model X - Flawed or Flawless?

    FlasherZ, given the doubts regarding statistics, let's take any statistics out of the equation. At this point, there have been roughly 1000 Model X's delivered (this number might even be high, considering that I still don't have a delivery date for my SigX VIN #484). Unless you believe people...

    @jshnyc, sorry to hear about the problems with your Sig X. These kind of things really worry me about the delivery of our Signature, even though they are working on it for so long "to make sure everything is perfect". Hopefully they will make it right for you soon. The thing that still annoys...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    Yes, I also could not find any 50 mile reference in my agreement either. From what I can see of California law, the car is considered "new" until it has been first registered as sold with the DMV, no matter what the mileage. @cantdecide, your story also worries me regarding the delivery of our...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    @jshnyc, wow, that is just not right. It really makes me worry about our Sig VIN#484 that we are still waiting for. We've been given the same line from our DS that they just want to make sure it is perfect, though we still have no delivery date yet, other than an assurance that we will have it...

    What car do you currently drive while waiting for the Model X?

    As we wait for our Signature X, we are still enjoying our two Chevy Volts, one of which will get sold once we get our X. As people dedicated to the whole mission of electric vehicles, we have been quite happy with our Volts, but it will be nice to finally go fully electric with our X. Also...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    @Reeler, it looks like we might be competing to have the very last US Signature delivery. It is frustrating to know that I could have gotten our car faster with a regular production reservation with only a $5K deposit, and left the other $35K invested in TSLA. Also, with a production model, I...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    cantdecide, we confirmed our SigX order on Sept 29th, 2015 on the way up to Fremont for the X reveal event, and we still have not received our car. We finally just heard from our DS that he guarantees we will have our X by the 31st of this month, maybe even a little sooner. Here's hoping...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    ankitmishra, I'm sure you are correct about improvements being made. I just find it disheartening that these defective Signatures seem to have gone to the end of the line, with the production models flying out the doors.

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    Don't close out the thread yet. We have still heard nothing regarding delivery of our Signature X. We're pretty sure it is now at the service center in Santa Barbara, but we have not heard a single word from our DS. It is this total lack of communication that is the most disappointing. Our...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    I have to believe it is more than just a few Signatures waiting. We are SigX VIN #484, and have heard absolutely nothing from our DS. We were told that he would let us know when our car arrived at the SC in Santa Barbara, so if it is not even at the SC yet, it must be weeks away. There must...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    We confirmed our Signature X order September 29th, before the X reveal event up in Fremont. Still absolutely no word on a revised delivery timeframe. They had, of course, indicated last year that it was their intention to have all Sigs out by the end of the year. It just makes it really hard...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    Blastphemy, while you do capture the frustration felt by a bunch of us Signature X people who are being kept in purgatory, I have to differ on the cause of the frustration. Our frustration is with the total lack of communication, not with the delays in the car. OK, there is a bit of...

    Random Model X sightings

    Gene, yes, the Santa Barbara transports often stop there to unload, then continue on to Van Nuys and other Los Angeles locations. Since we will be taking delivery of our Sig Red X in Santa Barbara, I was hoping to see red on that transport, but sadly not. It appears that our Sig X VIN #484 is...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    That's funny. We keep saying the same thing, that our Sig will be the last one delivered. We confirmed our order on Sept 29th, on our way up to the release event in Fremont, and have gotten no news on it since. I get the feeling that there might actually be 500 or so Sigs sitting up in...

    Perhaps all of us Signature Model X people, whose cars have dropped into oblivion, should have a Model X car rally up to the factory. It will be the greatest showing of Model X non-cars ever ! Seriously, though, I understand that there are sometimes problems in manufacturing. Glue problems...

    Any Signature Model X owners NOT receive their car yet?

    Cantdecide, we feel the same way. We also configured Sept 29th, and our Sig VIN #484 is also still sitting up at the factory. What blows my mind is that they are delivering production models to people, while our Sigs sit there not being completed. What's up with that? At least our cars can...

    Starting to deliver Production P90D

    Peter, No, we are taking delivery in Santa Barbara, though our DS is actually in Van Nuys. I'm guessing that he is fairly busy as well. The problem, though, seems to be that our car has not even shipped from the factory yet, so our DS seems to be in the dark as well. He has told us that he...

    Burbank CA "Meet the Model X tour" biggest surprise

    It was a great event. Seeing so many Model X's together at one time was impressive. Also, all the people working there were so nice, and so knowledgeable of the car. We were actually able to spend time with the car that was inside, and absorb what a really great car it was. For the test...

    Production Model X Deliveries

    Yes, I believe that we will also get our SigX after some of the production models. Our SigX VIN#484 hasn't even left the factory for the Santa Barbara SC yet, so it is looking like it will be March before we get it. Wasn't the whole idea of the Signature series that they would be delivered...

    Q1 Model X Sales will be lousy!

    I think the real thing to worry about is that the Inside EVs article also shows that Model S sales for January were only 850. I already knew that Model X sales were down, since we don't have our Sig X #484 yet, but that is quite a hit for Model S sales, even when you take into account the time...

    Tesla website down for maintenance

    Pvogel, that might be true if we ordered late, but we confirmed the order for our Signature Sept 29th, as we were headed up to the Model X reveal event in Fremont. We would be a little miffed if they are delivering all these productions before our Signature series. Ron SigX VIN #484

    Tesla website down for maintenance

    Yes, we now also see a delivery window for our Signature VIN #484. It says February - early March. Taking into account Tesla time, if it takes till mid-March to get all of the Signatures delivered, it is going to be a very slow Q1 for TSLA. Ron
