Can anyone with the refreshed x confirm if they have radar? I’m hoping this has been retained for the x

Is that interior white or cream? I always have trouble distinguishing between them in photos… Ty
If they did retain it may be short-lived. On AI Day Tesla's Autopilot team went to some length to explain how they are achieving similar to superior performance without radar.

I don’t think any Tesla has that anymore. But this is speculation and not based on actually checking the S and X refreshes.
Very easy, some got their car inspected there at Carlsbad, I took mine to San Diego and got a Tesla field tech to come inspect it, referred by a friend. Check the address on DMV form they got mine wrong.
I have that front closing issue occasionally on my current X. You're the first that I've heard outside of me so welcome lolHi Y'all,
I took delivery in Irvine yesterday and spent 8 hours driving/sitting in the X. While much of it was spent in gridlock traffic it was heavenly!
Upon inspection the 22" wheel inserts were not in the wheels. They were all stored in a cardboard box in the frunk. The Tesla associate informed me they thought their customers would like the look without inserts better. I am going to drive for a few weeks without them and then add the inserts to see if there is any significant difference in Wh/mi. The 22's are gorgeous. I really love the big wheel look both in high and low suspension positions.
The key cards were in the front center console between cupholders and screen. The two fob keys were in the glovebox. The tow hitch and travel charger were sitting in the trunk.
Some of the rubber sealing along the body of the FWD were uneven. I was able to run my fingers along it and secure it well.
Everything was spot on with the exception of the mud I tracked into the car by accident while inspecting (rainy day pickup in Irvine)
One interesting quirk was that both front doors could not close themselves initially. The door would swing shut but the latch would not engage and the door would pop back open. Next I pushed the door shut and the latch engaged. After opening the door again it was able to close/latch at the push of a button and has ever since. I was about to panic and run back into the service center but was relieved after they started working properly.
I am on vacation for next few days but will post more of my experiences after a lengthy drive home with the family.
Happy New Years to all!!!
I keep hearing that the S and X both still ship with it. This doesn't make sense but I keep hearing it.

I hope you’re right. I prefer radar.
I miss radar... there's nothing to gain by removing it.. other than cost to Tesla.
I love cream color!

Great pictures. This means the production line has ramped to the point where it can make all the types of Model Xs. The 4th quarter earning report will give us an update on volume. I've seen estimates of around 2000 S's & X's for the quarter.
I expect Tesla to prioritize Plaids now, but hopefully everyone who's been waiting a year will get their car early in the 1st quarter as the line continues to ramp up.
The radar on our 3 provides a smoother autopilot experience when compared to vision only on our y. Plus, it’s nice to see cars ahead in stop and go. Keeping fingers crossed
Everyone says they support a free market except when they don't. This situation will be rather common because of both the post-order price increases and the delayed deliveries, which meant a lot of people acquired a different vehicle for now.
Saying no radar is better is just lies. It's like them saying auto headlights or wipers are better. Better for Tesla but not customers.
Radar AP goes up to 90mph, vision only 80. Works in fog, snow , etc. I know. It's never let me down. Tesla vision is a real gamble.
S and X still have radar. High end lives are worth the 15 buck part.

That's how Tesla rolls. Remove features/tech/quality in order to cut costs and then spin it to customers as an improvement. See: Rain sensor
The Refresh Owner's Manual still lists RADAR being installed:

I agree. However, I believe they’ve disabled radar on the 3s now as I’m capped at 80 for AP and I have radar.

Yeah, they do have it disabled when using FSD beta even if installed. That's what makes the least sense on why the S and X still have it installed. One of the fishier decisions they have made. I'm sure it's solely a $ thing.
Same for S and X with FSD beta. That's why I'm passing on FSD. 10k is a lot of money and I've wasted money on FSD on my S. It's not close and won't be reliable for years.
I'd rather just keep regular AP. I don't even use NoA. It's been really bad since it came out. I do like the lane changes but I'll deal with that one lost feature.
