    Model X May Deliveries

    If it is not, you may be able to get it from the online store or from the parts department. As I recall, there was no mention of the quick connection dock in any part of the contract. It should not be much and on its own it is bound to cost less than the PUP.

    Where do you find your delivery estimate?

    My page did not change until after my car was actually on the way. Supposedly it was delivered to the SC in VA today, and my DS will contact me tomorrow to finalize delivery details. My page chaged shortly after he sent me a message acknowledgeing that I confirmed my payment method.

    Where do you find your delivery estimate?

    That is because your system crashed. No, seriously, I have the same, although there are some random dates, I know they do not apply to me. My radio buttons also disappeared. I guess that means we are really getting our Xs soon!

    Did those who ordered the Accessory Hitch, get that or actually a REAL Towing Package?

    I will not be reporting what I get, but I can tell you that the Towing Package is only $750 which is very reasonable. If you need it, you should get it. Just because one or two early cars who ordered the accessory hitch may have gotten a towing package freebie, does not mean that will be the...

    Where do you find your delivery estimate?

    While it would be great for you to get your car by mi May, the end of next week is already mid May. From what I hear manufacturing takes a little more than a week. That will put completion at mid May. Then comes QC which adds another week, and then the delivery. If you pick up at Fremont...

    Where do you find your delivery estimate?

    There is a 2016-06-06 in just about everyone's source code. If your DS indicates June, then June is likely, but I would not take anything in the source code relating to delivery as fact.

    Model X May Deliveries

    Finally learned (upon inquiry) today that I will likely be able to pick up my car on Friday next week. Finally. We shall see.

    Any Late April-May people hear from their DS about imminent deliveries?

    I finally heard today that my car is expected to arrive at my delivery SC on Monday, after which it will be inspected, so I can expect to pick it up next Friday. Not April anymore but close enough!

    When does your DS first contact you with REAL progress info?

    Most of us here have sprung for at least $110 or more. $10-$20k is not really that important as far as how much enthusiasm or respect we have a right to expect. Even people how buys the lowest trim 75D at $83k deserves the same respect, thought we all know that those cars will begin production...

    Model X May Deliveries

    I guess I will be starting to post here next week. Tomorrow is the day I will have to give up on April. I wrote to my DS today and will probably hear from him tomorrow.

    Any Late April-May people hear from their DS about imminent deliveries?

    As I like to point out, on just about every thread. Never got a call about any stage, but did find out more than two weeks ago that my car was "good to go", and about 10 days ago found out that it was already on the train, but no idea when the trip started. Tomorrow is the last day I have...

    When does your DS first contact you with REAL progress info?

    My car was actually finished and my DS never let me know. He said he would let me know when it is assigned to transport, and that did not happen. About 10 days ago my car was already on the train. He did not tell me when it actually shipped, but said it would get to the east coast late this...

    Model X April Deliveries

    Of the over 8k VINs I mentioned, none were sigs, because they had a separate sequence. That means that over 9k VINS have been assigned so far. Most of the higher VINs were in CA, but that applied mostly up until the end of March. Many 90D deliveries have been made in other states during the...

    Model X April Deliveries

    The Q1 number delivered by the end of March was 2,400 total, so I would think that over 3k have been delivered so far, likely closer to 4k by now. Most people getting them do not participate on the forum or on ModelXTracker.com. The highest VIN I see on the tracking site having taken delivery...

    Harsh puinshment for early X ordering

    Do not get me wrong though. I do not necessarily agree that it is the right thing for them to do, but in the scheme of things it evens out. What I also consider to not be a little not so great, is that confirming your car more than 90 days before it even got a VIN still required the $500...

    Model X April Deliveries

    At least my car is on the way, and while I have know for nearly two weeks that it will not get to me by the end of this week, I was still hoping. I initially got a quote to add the car on April 30, then found out it was on the train, and decided to move it up to May 2nd. I will see if I hear...

    Harsh puinshment for early X ordering

    Funny what some people would consider harsh. I reserved in 2012, configured in November of 2015 and am still waiting. I am glad I ordered the Matte Obeche. The money is not an issue here, considering the price of the car, and I would have ordered it regardless of whether it was the included...

    Three Metal Pedal Set (In Stock)

    I would call directly. It would also be helpful to ask someone at an SC whether the two cars use the same pedals. [email protected] or call: 847 808 8609

    Model X April Deliveries

    The car goes through extensive testing during the QC process. 50 miles is nothing. Consider 50 mph for 1hr, or different speeds up to 80mph for a shorter time. The car is actually on stationary equipment with moving parts for much of the time, so the wheels are turning but the car is not...

    Model X April Deliveries

    In diamonds they say the 4 Cs are important. In real estate it is the 3 Ls. (Location, Location, Location.) It appears with Model X delivery speed the 3 L rule really helps! VIN #32xx

    Model X April Deliveries

    Spoke to a DS at the factory today, and heard that my car is 'good to go'. Still do not have more info, but hopefully I will have it by the end of the month.

    Model X April Deliveries

    The seats are probably one of the last things to go into the car, after several days on the line, so I think cars that went into production on or shortly before March 24, were slated to receive the new seats. The improvement of the product was a result of a lot of testing, and the new seats did...

    New Tesla Marketing Email

    When Tesla says April/May to new people, they mean that April is possible if you pick up at Fremont, but your car would likely be delivered mid to late May if you ordered a 90D. 70D cars will begin production soon. I am speculating here, but I think Tesla considers mid year to be May-July.

    Model X April Deliveries

    Colby's VIN is in his signature 24xx.

    Model X April Deliveries

    I think Colby Boles will not need to wait much longer. I will have my car in 3 weeks or so. No one confirmed this, but I am a believer in Positive thinking. My car has been in production for about 2 weeks, so there is little reason for it to not be nearly done. I reserved in 2012 and ordered...

    Model X April Deliveries

    I think that was actually an unreasonable question, and also a miscommunication. The person stated they ordered in November, but in truth, they reserved in November and configured in January. I Reserved in 2012 and configured in November. Technically my order was at the beginning of December...

    Q1 2016 Delivery Prediction Competition

    The next quarter is already underway, so in order to achieve close to 1k Model X per week, they need to be delivering as many, because where would they put them... All in all a positive thought since I hope to get mine soon.
  29. LeonardD

    Model X April Deliveries

    My VIN is 32xx and no DS initiated contact. Feel free to contact your DS, but do not count on getting any real info until your car is done with QC.

    Q1 2016 Delivery Prediction Competition

    My guess is a total close to 18,000 of which at lease 2,700 are Model X. I predicted on the TM forum that X deliveries would be at least 2,560, which turns out to be a little less than actual.

    Model X April Deliveries

    For what it is worth, My car is currently in production. I asked my DS, but all he did was confirm what I said. No estimate on anything but at least I was able to confirm that it has been in actual production as of Monday, and hopefully earlier. I will hear back from the DS when the car is...

    Model X Range

    The actual range difference according to the spec sheet is less than 3%. The acceleration difference 0-60 mph is one second for the P90D without ludicrous mode vs. the 90D.

    Order Before "Price Increase" on 3/31?

    I agree with that. I do not think the energy density increase is there yet, which is why I said there would likely be a weight increase at this point.
  34. LeonardD

    Any non-Performance 90D take delivery?

    From what I have read, 20"s come with all Season and 22"s come with summer. Only sure about 20"s though.
  35. LeonardD

    Order Before "Price Increase" on 3/31?

    I agree with this. (I also agreed with all you said on another thread on another forum, thought it was not clear. The rest of that post was intended to as a batch reply to all those where were upset.) There is no question that the size of the pack can increase as cell size is reduced, but I...

    Just got an email to pay for my 90D

    Just to add to my prior post, the taxes on a P90DL in VA including personal property and sales/use would be more than $12k, in the first year. So, while your taxes @Darryl is pretty high in FL, it would be even worse in VA. Usually the personal property tax is paid in October for the following...
  37. LeonardD

    Just got an email to pay for my 90D

    But wasn't that on a P90DL? Our personal proptery tax essentially doubles the sales tax, and to make matters worse, you have to pay it every year. This year my taxes will be close to $10k (including sales tax) and next year $5k for a P90D or $4k for a 90D. Each year after that it will go...

    Model X Range

    From what I have heard, with the P90D it is very obvious when the position changes, so the fact that it retracts is not an indication that it is "active" (actively changing at different speeds). Either way, I am glad that it retracts. I think it is in Tesla's best interest to do whatever it...

    Any non-Performance 90D take delivery?

    This is what a new owner said on the TM forum. It is not fixed in that it retracts when off, but it does not respond to speed, unlike what is the case with the P90D . It has only one position while the car is on, and that is up all the way. I also thought it is fixed, but my opinion was based...

    Any non-Performance 90D take delivery?

    From one report on TM, the spoiler looks like the one on the P90D, but it does not adjust with speed. It also retracts when the car is totally off and locked.
  41. LeonardD

    Just got an email to pay for my 90D

    VA has personal property tax, which is in addition to the registration fee. While the registration fee for an EV is about $100 per year, property tax also has to be paid or else the car would not be registered. The property tax for the first year on a $140k car is more than $5k, this is in...

    Any non-Performance 90D take delivery?

    Someone took delivery at the Factory yesterday, but did not post any pics yet. They posted on the TM forum. I would also like to hear or see what the spoiler looks like. Mine is supposed to go into production soon. By the time I get it, it will have been more than 41 months since I first...

    Selling Model X on Ebay - Procedures to Prevent Fraud

    I plan on selling my truck on e-bay after I take delivery of the X, and as far as I know, payments must go through ebay, so you should have their protection as well. I would contact e-bay to find out more.

    How many people are taking delivery of their Model X in March?

    I think March will be a very big month. All but a few of the remaining Sigs will be delivered, and a significant percentage of the P90Ds and possibly even a few 90Ds will be delivered. I was originally hoping for April/May myself, but I con only dream about that at this point.

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

    Perhaps the configuration choices and the confirmation date together makes the difference, and then add some random numbers for fun. I hope more groups get VINs each week.

    An update from my DS about my 90D

    This is kind of off topic, but since a few people mentioned AP, I just wanted to add that Auto Dimming Headlights are only available with AP, according to the manual. Of course that is not a big deal. Just saying.

    Model X Founder Series - Facts

    @andrewket Thanks for the update. Looks great!
  48. LeonardD

    Current time from confirmation to delivery?

    While everything is completely variable, the only real indicator is the VIN, which would normally mean 6-8 weeks. However, having a VIN is no guarantee of a timeline. Once production is fully ramped, it will be much easier to get this info.

    Poll: Delivery Start for 90D's

    I voted for April and hoped for May as far as my own car goes. I may have been wrong on mine, but not on when they deliver the first ones. This is real progress even if only a beginning.
