Model X Signature Configuration has begun!

[bonnie]

Are you coming north at all?! It is only two days at most, and I-90 is prettier than I-80/I-70! You know you have a big fan club in the PNW!! :smile:

Definitely up to Portland/Seattle area at beginning or end of trip (the latter more likely). My son lives in Portland now & several close friends in Seattle.

Hey guys, now that things have settled, just a heads up:

#1 The second post of this thread is a wiki. I started it off with some info, but please feel free to add tidbits and pics!
#2 I will be moving the bulk of the chatter re: seat folding to this thread: Will the second row seats fold flat? If so, how? - please take convo there going forward.

Thanks!

Since I'm planning a roadtrip shortly after delivery (xpel application first!), I won't be online much. But my twitter account will be active , especially since I plan on tweeting what superchargers I'll be hitting. I hope to meet Tesla fans at each stop, including showing the X to people waiting to see.

See you in Norfolk Virginia! (well, we can hope, right?)

Too soon to give you rep again, but thanks. I'll take my stuff (like roadtrip plans) to a new thread shortly.

Trip details will depend on time of year - but Minnesota & Chicago/South Bend area will probably be the closest I get to Montreal. This year.

Bonnie! Come to Normal, IL Charger!! I'll buy dinner if I can see the car!

Has anyone seen information on the tires? Brand, style, etc. I'd like to look into performance and traction info (snow?) before deciding on the size.

 

[ZachShahan]

What is really awesome is the stated acceleration time. 3.2 seconds to 60? In a large SUV? Just wow! Can't wait to see videos of the Model X in ludicrous mode!

Yes, insane (no pun initially intended). This is really amazing compared to the competition. I guess it's just that we all expected it, spoiled as we are.

@Bonnie,

I hope you can give Arizona some love on your tour. Lots of people here are interested and the weather will be nice that time of year.... I'll bring the (early) birthday cake

The 20" come with Continental all-season & 22" with Pirelli high-performance

(note: added to wiki post at beginning of thread)

Has been covered before, but just in case: streamlining for increased productivity and efficiency during this critical, rapid growth toward ultimate goal of the Secret Master Plan phase. Tesla is not in a position to offer all the body paint colors and possible options that people can come up with. When they are an old, boring, 100 year old company and all OEMs are making EV's and the automotive world is yet again a mostly boring place where the only way to differentiate from one another is by offering 2-tone sport seats is the day we'll see Tesla going down that road.

Right, I get that. My comment was more of a playful, "Come on, slip this option in!"

Obviously, they need to keep things as streamlined as possible and survive... well, grow several times over. But from the consumer perspective, "man, it sure would be swell!"

I tried to contain myself, but to make sure I don't forget, any chance you'll come through Sarasota, FL? (No earlier than December)

 

[Lump]

See you in Fremont!

Was an approximate date given for deliveries, is this the reveal event?

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I'm disappointed in the look of the X, was hoping for a more retro look. And a lot of "delete" options to keep the cost down. What's wrong with the classic?

 

[bonnie]

I have no date, but setting my expectation for sometime in October. No event that I'm aware of. I'm taking factory delivery - that's what I meant by the comment.

 

[MrBoylan]

why is the cold weather package not included in the sig ? and towing

I would imagine many people living in southern California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico have little use for the cold weather package, so why raise the cost for everyone for a feature that many will not need or want?

 

[Paul Carter]

For all your work here I would hope that TM would allow a Canadian to be one of the first to configure....even if it is against protocol.:wink:

Thanks. And thanks to bonnie, there is no more Signature # 3 in the US, so yea TM, care to fill that US Sig # 3 slot with a Canadian? HA! :tongue:

So much speculation about seats in this thread ... Others have said much the same but it's worth repeating that the configurator picture is a computer render that is probably just a schematic showing how space in the car is utilized. It only needs to correspond to reality in so far as it allows people to choose their interior color. I doubt whether any of the packaging or seat innovations whose development has held the car up for well over a year are included. They would want to hold those back so the official reveal will have some punch and purpose, and perhaps also (if they feel they are significant) for equal disclosure to all shareholders. That said, it is fun to speculate about the seats.

Model X Configuration has begun!

The Cold Weather pkg may be removed, if it really will cause a delay. Someone is checking into that before I have to finalize. I hate the idea of matching cars, but I really like the contrast of the white with the solid black underbody.

And yes, the 22" wheels ... I will probably pick up a set of 20s with winter tires to swap out as appropriate.

Love your choices, Bonnie, it is my dream vehicle. So grateful you shared all of this.

The only thing I won't get is ludicrous as I need range more than performance out here where there are fewer SCs. I also don't need the sound package but do want the dark headliner and dark seats (lots of pets to ride in it). Hope it would make mine come in well under $115K.

Bonnie, gentle reminder that I'm hopefully somewhere in the pecking order - after family, friends, TEG, others - to tag along for the factory delivery

What happened? Grey leather gone??

Remember, for Model S the Grey wasn't an option on he signature cars. It replaced the white leather for production cars. I expect the same here.

If you plan on stopping at the Springfield OR supercharger let me know, I'd love to come say hi!
