Damn, silver is hot! Nice surprise for my tastes.

White looks amazing! Nose looks better on black, but soooo hard to keep clean....and except for the nose, I like the rest in white better. Red and Sig red look good too.

Have to say the white has really grown on me. Think it looks great now, nose and all.

This was my original color combo choice but my wife overruled (the X is hers). I think it looks great. I have a feeling white is going to be the most popular choice for awhile.

Yes, that blue is still my favorite color. Love it.

Just putting this out there...

If for some reason anyone can get a picture of a sig, please take a picture of the windshield, from the outside of the car, near the rearview mirror, that clearly shows the camera(s)

I'm confused. I thought there were no Sigs delivered, yet. Did you mean Founders edition car?

Yes!! This is the exact vehicle I ordered and took a risk without seeing it in the wild. Now that I see it I am thrilled. Smokin' !!!!!!

I only said early adopter as I placed my reservation for MX before ever seeing an S in person, summer 2012, and before any were available for me to test drive. Seems to count to me, but not sure why it matters.

Yes, back to photos would be great!!!

My spidy-sense tells me there might be sigs on the streets this weekend...oh but to be clear, I don't think any are delivered

One of my favorites is a person who suffered TWO flat tires at ONCE due or pot hole complaining that for car that costs this much it should have a spare tire.

Since he posted that in a piece on The Drive and not TMC, I'll reply on his behalf - "Then it should have TWO spare tires!"

 

[Aljohn]

Sure... after 2 spare tires (really big tires), he will want a jack!

I too took that leap of faith! black interior though ..my boys are a messy bunch.

Saw a silver Model X today at Heavenly (california base) in South Lake Tahoe.
Just got the video off the dashcams:

You will of course note that it is driving with the trunk (boot) up.
There was ski equipment sticking out, which meant they couldn't shut it.
The trunk doesn't look fully up, though, so I guess they lowered it as much as they could.
You'd think with a tow hitch that any founder could afford the ski hitch accessory

My guess is that they arrived for skiing when the HPWC was already occupied, so they parked elsewhere. Then when they got back to the car they needed a topup before heading to Folsom, so they move the car to the HPWC before sorting out all the ski equipment and packing the car properly.
They were not heading to the exits despite the lifts being closed for the day (4pm). They were also heading for where I believe the HPWC is.

That's nice, good video grab, but why the violin music?

 

[cantdecide]

Easiest way in youtube to cover up the random chit chat happening in the car.

 

[MikeL]

ah Yes, but we might have enjoyed the "real" audio (?!) anyway, I'm sure you won't see me driving my Model X around w the back open. Some people

Don't see the big deal... I've once or twice had to drive with the hatch on the S slightly ajar due to the item inside being a bit too large for the trunk to fully close.

As an aside, just got back from SLC... Beautiful area.

 

[rEVhappy]

There is no Tesla RAV 4 - RAV 4 is a Toyota, though the EV version has a drive train
that was supplied by Tesla.

Thank you Captain Obvious! I had nooooo idea

Agreed. Though, it's a little upsetting if an SUV can't house a couple pairs of skis without the back open. Hopefully there's just more to it than that.

 

[ecarfan]

I can't believe that X drove to Tahoe with the rear hatch open. I think there is some other explanation for why the hatch was open while driving through that parking lot.

 

[aesculus]

As was stated they were probably moving the car before securing everything to get to a charger so they had enough boost to get over Echo Summit before coasting to Folsom.

Having said that unless they had the six seater or very short skis, they probably had to do all sorts of trickery to get the skis into the car and close the hatch. You should not have to do this in an SUV. You should be able to toss them into the car and move out in seconds. No planning/logistics required.

Oh and if they had skied at Sierra at Tahoe, they would not have had to look for a charger. Its all downhill to Folsom. Let that be another lesson here. :smile:

I saw a new founders model x being prepped for delivery/being worked on at my local store. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say any more than that (I certainly wasn't allowed to take pictures) so I won't. I'll just say it's a higher vin than what has been discussed on the board so far.

 

[Marcos]

You can say whatever you want. This isn't a dictatorship.

You also should not be able to pay half as much as a Prius for fuel costs while going 0-60 in 3.1s in an SUV
