I chose the 7 seats purely because the second row seats could fold flat, my family and I absolutely loved the 6 seater but it just didn’t work out when we needed more cargo space.

Picking up my '21 tomorrow. Woot!

- Start date
Just got my VIN today and it has an M in the VIN!! I just set my pickup for November 25th with an order date of November 18th, that is a lot faster than I expected.

Wow...fast. Where are you located in SoCal? What are the specs of your order? I ordered on 9/26 and I’m still waiting. I received a text 2.5 weeks ago stating to be expecting it in 1-3 weeks. Still nothing.
My order is a LR+ MSM on White Interior, 6 seat, no FSD and with 20” wheels.
I ordered a LR+ red with White interior, 7 seat, no FSB with 20" wheels. I didn't see an inventory car like mine in SoCal or NorCal so maybe someone cancelled their order or rejected the vehicle?

BTW, did you get the $1500 Clean Fuel rebate added to your order? You lose the SCE (if you’re in SCE territory) $1000 but the Clean Fuel rebate is instant at the time of purchase and is $500 more.
Thanks a lot! This will be my wife's car. She didn't like the rough ride of her Model 3 and wanted seating for 7, so I hope she like it.
Yes, they automatically deducted $1500 and I can also get the $1000 SCE Clean Fuel rebate. That is still available until the end of December. Plus my local air quality board is providing $500.

You can actually get one or the other. Look at the rules of the Clean Fuel rebate. Not sure if they check but I am positive that that’s a rule. If they don’t check, then great!
Edit: Here’s the link stating so
Clean Fuel Reward Program | SCE Clean Fuel Reward Program
I missed that eligibility requirement, I guess I won't apply for that. Thanks for pointing it out.
I will use that as a selling point for my Model S since someone purchasing it can apply for the $1000 SCE rebate through the end of December. Tesla offered me $24,500 as a trade in which is really low compared to what I see them offered for sale.

No problem! $500 is better than $0 and it's at point of sale too. So you still made out.
You mentioned a local air quality board providing $500. Where are you located and which board is this? I'm curious if I can qualify, too.
It's the Antelope Valley Air Quality Board, they used to have $5000. rebates. I got that with my 2012 Chevy Volt.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District has a $2500 rebate, I wish I could qualify for that one.
Just found out from my adviser that my vehicle has a 11/12 build date for a vehicle I ordered on 11/18, so hopefully just a cancelled order and not a rejected vehicle.
My son is @ 2nd year in college, so he might start needing a car (once they're able to get back to campus).
Lifetime free supercharging, LTE access.
Trade-in value from Tesla was very low.
Carbon fibre trim with alcantera dash.
Ventilated seats (I'm not a fan, but people seem to like it enough).
No major problems.
7-seater, for those occasions when I need to carry more people I guess.
I think the main reason was the trade-in, if it was high enough, I would have considered trading it in.
I used it for business, and will convert it to personal use next year. So trading it in would have knocked some write-off value off the new X.
I think those are the top reasons.
But of course, the biggest reason of them all. Need a backup Tesla for the 200th times all my other Teslas are in the shop and I don't want to use the Uber credits. I kid.

Well, originally inventory cars were available immediately. I refused 2 inventory cars becasue I wanted MY 21 and H pack. After the 2nd refusal. It took a couple more weeks. About 40 days from ordering to taking delivery with new 21 MY VIN.

If you have a 21, you have an H pack. Some 20 models have H packs. Regardless, look under the passenger side of the car right behind the front suspension components. The battery has a label on it. You can Google it and find lots of information on this.
