    Waiting Room: Model X Long Range Only

    So I was waiting ironically in line at Disney World in the “Tomorrowland Speedway” which has a bunch of old school gas guzzlers and low and behold my delivery window has narrowed to March 24-31 and I had a VIN now. I originally ordered my 6-seat red/white interior LR back in October of 2020...

    I'm in a similar boat. No VIN yet, but just recently had my first actual date range assigned. (March 16-31st, up from the latest placeholder of July). Mine is a Red/White LR X that was ordered 10/20, but yeah... based on this I expect terrible end of quarter quality and big changes for 4/1 just...

    Waiting Room: Model X Long Range Only

    No VIN yet, but first actual date range here (changed from July): March 18-31. Six seat LR red w/FSD original order 10/2020. Not sure sure I feel great about an end of quarter date range but I guess I’ll take it at this point.

    I've got a 2016 X and just rented a Y while I was on vacation out in LA for the Super Bowl. I think the big difference is that all four doors can be controlled, fully opened and closed with the fob. If phone key works well with self presenting front door for the driver, phone key might work for...

    Waiting Room: Model X Long Range Only

    I just rented(Turo) a Y while I was out on vacation and the ride was so much smoother than my '16 X (as are the Raven Xs and presumably the Refresh Xs). My wife was complaining about our X on the way home and now wants us to get a Y while we wait! 🤣

    Waiting Room: Model X Long Range Only

    Just got bumped to April like everybody else. The crazy thing is my first X I ordered before they had produced one and I only had to wait eight months or so. It was October 2015->June 2016.

    Waiting Room: Model X Long Range Only

    I just mentioned it over on the other thread, but part of it is that 1)I'm not in California, so not a lot of trucks coming my way. 2)The other part is it seems like Tesla really doesn't want us early order people to get our cars, and would love us to just give in and order a Plaid or something...

    Nice. Hopefully they have a lot of MX on that truck. Which "priority queue" are you in @flippingrich ? I'm pretty we ALL are in a "priority queue". Yours is the "A computer glitched accidentally assigned a VIN to you and we had take it away" queue right? I was supposedly in the "Pre-refresh...

    I have trouble keeping up with the big thread with everybody getting all their plaids. Have we had any of the pre-refresh orders get VINs lately? I have an original Oct 2020 6-seater.

    I wonder if we wait until getting a VIN assigned if we could get them to move the VIN to our original RN once we are close to pick up... tempting to do the exact same order and see what happens.

    I concur. I've got a 2016 X and have had many an S as a loaner. I'm 6'0' and have zero back issues, but I always feel like getting into out of an S is the most awkward thing in the world.

    Haha same here. I know March is a placeholder, but if I don't get a VIN soon, (and in the past it has taken a few weeks to get to me) I'm kind of scared of an EOQ rush Model X... ), I kind of want a Q2 Model X I think... I've waited this long, right? What's another few months.

    Translation: It’s bigger/weighs more and uses more energy. Like someone else said, it’s all about how many miles a certain amount of energy will get you.

    Panoramic windshield, two more screens, inferior 3rd row (The Y has a button that actually folds when you press them). The doors are kind of a big deal though. (Both sets).

    I'm cash/no trade in with FSD and original order date in October 2020 with an OG six seater order. I think taking delivery in Cincinnati is what is screwing me over probably. No VIN in sight.

    Yeah the auto-lane-change thing is really weird because my AP1 Model X does that. There was no such thing as FSD or even Enhanced Autopilot when I bought mine. I guess when they switched to their own hardware it was one of those things that took a while to re-implement so they kept it separate...

    You shouldn't really run into any issues at that age. I got my first X when my kids were 2, 5, and 7. FWD are amazing for car seats. Kids learned pretty quickly not to stand under the door when it was closing and I tend to control all door opening and closing from the fob so they just walk up to...

    The last shareholder meeting someone from here posted a question about a Model X update on the tool they use to take questions from retail investors.

    That's positive news. I haven't heard of anything happening in Cincinnati. Do you actually have a SA in Cincinnati? That's where I go for server/take delivery, but every time I've tried to contact an SA I just a random call or text from a different person. Original order was put in October of 2020.

    Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

    One thing to watch out for on the X is the six seat monopost seats are a bit thin and many typical boosters will not allow you to buck the seatbelt easily. You either need a seatbelt extender or a thinner booster. I’m switching to white interior and an on the lookout for a new booster that is...

    I think you may want to clarify what you are actually asking here. "Self presenting" just means the door has the ability to open itself. The pre-refresh Model X has this, and we've seen the UI looks very similar for this and also indicates the features is the same. You can use the key fob or...

    The passenger door can be opened by the key fob and the touch screen (and by manually pressing the button), but they don't open on approach - think for a second, why would the person with the key WANT to get into the passenger door? They want to go into the driver side. Many people turn off the...

    bike hitch advice please for X

    I've got a Yakima full swing and think it's fine and dandy. Only time it complains about the camera obstruction for me is when backing up, this is more about the parking sensors being covered than the camera I think. I also only have AP1 on my car though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Tesla Model Xmas dance & light show - Easter Egg

    That makes sense. Fun fact: the loud bass notes that are played at the beginning of the Model X Mas show are played to calibrate the sensor so if it played the notes and then stopped it sounds like the calibration was failing. Makes complete sense. Being on a slope or in an unexpected suspension...

    Honestly I'm not 100% sure. My VIN was matched in the middle of November after people had begun getting H-battery pack deliveries and there was no inventory Model X available in my region, so I just assumed it was a "2021" with an H battery pack. Devil's advocate: If I were to send you a...
