    Random Model X sightings

    That white one was probably the same one for my first sighting in Paradise Valley a couple weeks ago. I was running along a golf course and the white X drove right by me. No time for pics either

    Optimum Charging/Use Scenario

    One of of the you tube videos from the guy in Tampa during his delivery walk-through (Max?) showed the recommended range for daily driving was 50 to 80/90 percent. The charge was set to not go over 90%, unless you are planning a long drive and need that 100% (like ohmman said). I will go along...

    Model X Dimensions....

    Just started reading the owner's manual, amazing what you find out when you actually look at it! it mentions the "easy access button" on the second row seats. If there is no one occupied in the front seat of the side you want to get access to the third row, both the front seat and the 2nd row...

    Launch Mode on the X

    What is the difference between launch mode and just having the ludicrous/insane setting on? My next question leads to does the P90D without ludicrous have launch mode?

    Model X Dimensions....

    I have twins that are 13 months old and just moved up to the bigger rear facing car seat that stays in the car. I am curious about this too and any feedback will be appreciated before I get my X in a couple months (maybe less). I have the 6 seater, so I'm hoping that the two rear facing car...

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    I have a VIN that is P90D without ludicrous. It seems like performance and premium package (in addition to possibly geographical region) have been given the early production VINs

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    I was born and raised in Worcester... the roads with do a number on 22's. Horrible horrible roads that never get fixed. Smart choice to go with the 20's. Go up George St. and punch it! See how much energy consumption you use! LOL

    Production Model X Deliveries

    Congratulations! I am production 4xx (confirmed 12/23/15) and was told by my DS that my delivery timeline is late February/early March. So that seems in line with what was told to you.

    90D Deliveries Begin Early 2016

    Then it seems that premium is the main contributing factor. You have an early confirmation date which helps your low 200 number too! A lot of people didn't pull the trigger that quick!

    90D Deliveries Begin Early 2016

    I would tend to agree about the premium package helping with the lower VINs, as well as the ultra high fidelity sound. The upgraded sound package has a few more speakers, etc. and was also included in all the signatures. I was late to make my order (invited 12/7 but didn't order till 12/16 and...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    good for you Ohmman! Life's too short! Your X will be amazing! I just got my VIN today (4xx)... Shizz just got real. I knew I was jumping the line a bit by going with a P90D (was high 4800's reservation number), but I didn't think I would get that low. Though, that doesn't necessarily mean...

    Got your prepare for your model x delivery email!

    What date was your order confirmed and what date did you get your VIN? I e-mailed buildmyX asking about if my X got a VIN yet, etc. and got a phone call a day later saying no VIN but he had the name of my DS that was assigned to me. He asked me if that DS reached out to me, and the answer to...

    Premium Upgrade Package

    I got the premium package mainly for the ventilated seats. Then turning LED lights and the LED fog lights. Moreover, the deeper I got into pricing the car, and for how long I see myself having the X (probably 8 years), I thought it justified having the package. I want to be happy EVERY single...

    First impressions, Model X versus 3 year old Model S

    Cosmacelf, would everything be clear if you backed into the garage instead? I ask this because I always back my vehicle into my garage. I have a 3 car garage and my spot is the middle bay. I'm trying to imagine how the X will look in that spot versus what is in there now (Santa Fe Sport)...

    Model X 2015 deliveries

    Went to the Scottsdale SC a couple days ago and the guy up front said no sig Model X's yet. He said they were hoping for one any day now. Was my first time to that service center and you can't see anything from the front. Maybe I should have asked for a tour! I imagine that this particular SC is...

    Vin 0062x pickup in Tampa 12/23 at 6pm

    That's good to hear Max. Seems like the appropriate steps on Tesla's part. They give you a P85D for your troubles?:)

    Random Model X sightings

    +1 I think every enjoys seeing pics, especially at this stage where they are first coming out. But those who post could be more vague and say "here's an sig X in the 400's" or not even mention it at all. Certainly do not need a pic of someone else's VIN... that doesn't help me one bit. From the...

    Torque comparisons

    Do we know the official torque numbers on the 90D and P90D? I know the HP for the 90D is (259 x 2) is 518. and the P90D HP (259 + 503) is 762. I'm curious as to how much difference in torque there is between these two models. Everyone talks bout 0-60 times, but outside those fast starts, I'm...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    For the moment I will keep the silver/black contrast, but I will look into powder coating them black at some point. I think the double black looks awesome. I REALLY wanted the blue, but my wife nixed that. She says that color looks fine for a sports car but not an SUV. Says its dumb. My retort...

    Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy... never gets old! Chomping at the bit for the last couple of years, and I couldn't bear waiting longer! Without having any clues on to how and when ramp up will begin, I'm expecting a March/April delivery. I guess there is a chance it could come sooner than...

    Finally pulled the trigger... My wife says now I don't have a leg to stand on for a long time... but I thought that's what marriage was anyways! Anyways, I'm pretty set with my config, will sit on it a couple days, and then hit confirm or just let it auto-confirm... P90D Obsidian Black...

    Gonna bail - anyone else?

    I'm still on board... if it was totally up to me I would have hit ORDER and then CONFIRM 2 seconds later... but the Mrs. has to be fully onboard to pull the trigger. Hoping its this week. To me personally, there isn't really another option. We always talked about getting a luxury SUV now that we...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    I too was under the impression that the front 2 seats come with heated seats, and the sub zero package would allow all seats in the cabin have heated seats as well as a heated steering wheel, etc. So does anyone know for sure if that is the case? also, the only way to get ventilated front...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    No e-mail but my tesla page is up and running to config. Pretty much have it figured out but have to have that one last "talk" with my wife before I press the order button! Have to time the talk perfectly to get the least amount of resistance!

    Final Payment Time : )

    Can you make part of the payment with a credit card? Or do they require a lump sum payment to proceed forward if you not financing the vehicle?

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    Yeah I did and I hope that it is as impressive as they make it! I know it will be much much better than any filter out there now, but I'm wary that it will not be able to produce pure clean air as they claim. Like if I'm behind a 30 year old pick-up that has no business being on the road, I'm...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    Congrats! I will be in the next wave to configure and I agree with you that the option that is giving me the most trouble is the premium package. self opening doors is nice but won't be used very much, except to show off to people. The air filter is my quandary in this giant premium bundle. I'm...

    Checked my Tesla page. Nothing yet. So close to the cut-off on latest config invites! Hoping for later in the week or next week to get the go ahead!

    What is the highest PRODUCTION number invited to configure?

    Instead of adding onto a somewhat large thread that already exists, let's start a new one with some input from the TMC community who have received an invite to configure their production Model X... (mods feel free to move this thread if you feel necessary) I have not received an e-mail yet...

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    This is a lot of info to consume after so long with nothing.... LOL! I had a number in my head on what roughly my X will cost me, but Tesla has given us a friendly reminder that a base model price is exactly a "base". Option overload, and the dollars keep rising... I'm indifferent bout the...

    Model X at showrooms?

    Rep at the Scottsdale AZ showroom said they were told that they would get a showroom X in January. They have not dispensed much information about the X when prodded, I so I will take the January remark with a grain of salt. Hope it happens, but my expectations are low.

    Model X has single 72A charger

    Really hope they give the production vehicles the option for 72A (even if there is an additional charge, I'm fine with that). I understand there needs to be some separation between Signatures and Production in terms of exclusive options, color, etc, but a hard line of 72A for sigs and 48A for...

    Random Model X sightings

    I hear ya man! Me too. I'm trying to be optimistic, and I appreciate some humor and light-heartedness as it relates to the X. It's been a long long wait! I'm just baffled, though, at the amount of miscommunication between Tesla and their customers. The 48A charging is just one example. The lack...

    Random Model X sightings

    There is a huge thread devoted to this over on the battery/charging section on this forum. I liked the jab about the 48A charger and the "too soon" comment following, so I replied to those comments. If you spend a great deal of time on this site scouring for new info, like I do, then you are up...

    Random Model X sightings

    Never too soon... until Tesla cleans this mess up! The X is almost 4 years in the making, and currently from a charging capability perspective, it's inferior to both the Roadster and the S. I hope they offer a 2nd on board charger at some point (if there is physical room for it) or allow owners...

    want to install charging in my garage

    Nobody knows the exact details about Model X charging. There is quite a bit of speculation that the X will not have dual chargers and will only have a single 72A charger. nothing confirmed yet, hopefully we will find out more info soon. the NEMA 14-50 will give you 29 miles/hour charge, which...

    production P90D

    Thanks for the response. That's part of my question... can you get performance without it being loaded? Do all the required options for performance automatically jump the price up to being a "loaded" X or could it be possibly be lower than the 132k that we have already seen?

    production P90D

    Until we get some actual numbers from Tesla about the starting cost of the base 90D (speculation is that it would be 93k), how much do you think the production P90D will start at? Will it be 20k over the base 90 and start at 113k (if the 90 indeed starts at 93k)? Or will you need a lot of the...

    Model X First Reviews

    Thanks for putting this up. I am still amazed at how many media outlets get information wrong and put it in print. Yeah, I've been obsessing over the X for almost 3 years now, and I research it daily, but to the average person who is just literally getting introduced to the Model X for the first...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    I was happy to see that the non-performance version will still be quite fast (4.8 seconds 0-60... other threads around here show that it will have matching front and rear motors totaling about 500HP... although that was not mentioned in his presentation) Front is definitely different and will...

    90D specs

    Yeah, for the performance one (all sigs). There's no way that's going to be the min price.

    90D specs

    Elon flushed out a few 90D specs... 257 mile range 0-60 in 4.8 seconds I was expecting the non-perfomance version to be quite a bit slower than the P90D (and ludicrous)... but 1 second slower is not bad at all. Under 5 seconds for an SUV that seats up to 7 is incredible!

    Live downtown and worried about parking my Model X in the garage

    check out the latest on the "Mule sightings" thread and there is a video posted of the FWD in action. Specs will come during or after the launch event, but this new video will give you an idea. Not sure how close to production this particular mule is in the video (door had to be nudged closed)...

    On one of these threads, someone confirmed that the event will be live streamed. I don't recall where, though. I do not know the specifics, but I'm sure we will find out on Sept. 29!

    Model X Launch invites have gone out

    I was in the same boat. I didn't think I would be able to pull it off and then my wife says "just go!" and then the frantic search to get a plus +1 and by the time I committed, it was probably over hours ago. LOL. Would have been nice to put faces to the names that I see on here. It's been a...

    launch event is now closed

    Much to my surprised I got the e-mail this morning, and unfortunately I didn't respond right away as I frantically tried to wrangle up a +1 to go with me. By the time I went back in to rsvp, it was closed. Unlucky. I look forward to seeing the live stream!

    AZ license plate question

    To those AZ Tesla people here... I have a regular personal (vanity) AZ license plate currently on my car. When I get my Model X (hopefully early 2016!), will I be able to transfer that plate name to the Alternative Fuel Plate (cloud plate) when I register my X? They do allow personal Alt Fuel...
