    My new tailgate arrived today at the local SC. They say it should take a week to put it on and do all the prep. If all things go without a hitch, I should get it a week from tomorrow. I was able to see it today and take it for a short test drive. I was very happy with the way the new leather seats look and feel and the front windshield is awesome. Ludicrous acceleration for a SUV is the bomb too.

    F00058 is delivered. It's gorgeous! Super happy with it. The Sig red paint looks great. I'm really glad we got founders so we could get the Sig red again (after we dropped our original Sig reservation, which was picked up by Bonnie).

    We took it for a short drive to Precision Film Solutions in Santa Ana to get paint armor and to test the windows to see if there's any need to add UV protection. It's hard getting it for just a few minutes and then giving it up for a few days again, but I don't want to get any rock chips or paint damage before it gets protected.

    I think that statement will most certainly apply to the non P 90D also. the P90DL is only 1.6 seconds faster 0-60. That is a lot when you sit in the car, but if you are sitting next to it in just about anything else, you will be surprised by how fast it is.

    Hey Leonard, I just noticed your profile image is of VA tag "model X". How long have you had it? I tried to grab it ~2 years ago but it was already gone. I ended up with "Tesla X" instead.
  • Feb 8, 2016
    LeonardD
    I actually had both Model X and Tesla X in 2012, and then decided to go with Model X and let the other one go. Now I know where the other one went!
  • Feb 8, 2016
    andrewket
    Funny. It's currently on our Honda Civic as a placeholder. The X is replacing our Lexus hybrid which has grandfathered clean fuel tags. I have to figure out how to get "TESLAX" (no space, because it won't fit on the clean energy tags) onto the a grandfathered tag. I assume they kept some amount of old stock for plates that are damaged. You can't call the normal DMV because the special fuel tags are all handled in Richmond.

    So it appears we can chose to get a credit instead of the powerwall from the referral contest. All my delays may have a silver lining if I can use the credit form my Founders X... what are the chances I can? Suppose to pick my X up Monday.

    "Thank you for participating in our Model S referral program. Your outstanding efforts have earned you a free Tesla Powerwall. If you are not interested in receiving this product, you have the option of accepting a $3500 credit instead.This credit can be used towards the purchase of any new Model S or Model X, service visits, service plans, and certain accessories. Please select the option you prefer below:"

    Wow .... held off on placing my Founders Model X order until first part of January ...... got the call its built and on the truck ... looks like coming end of week first of next week .... then they say it needs to be checked out and prepped .... Founders #74 will be out the door ...... can't believe it's coming so quick ..... they also called to schedule the ludicrous upgrade on my S .... and the power wall email came in for the survey ..... looks like Tesla has kicked 2016 in gear ..... :)
  • Feb 12, 2016

    My wife says she hates you. You were smart. Silly us, we thought by confirming quickly we would get our car earlier. Instead, confirming late gets you a car built off the line after the corrections and your car faster. Sigh.

  • Feb 12, 2016
    ardart99
    Yes ... it stunned me ... but I really think it's centered around wanting to get the special builds off the plate .... as I understand it they are winding down the Signatures also and the special Red will be off the assembly line .... at any rate they told me it would me built mid February, delivered around mid March hopefully .... and now its built and on the truck ..... still a wow ...... :) All my friends are asking me what the hell am I going to do with 2 Tesla's ....... my S got it's nose banged and is getting fixed and it looks like they both are going to be ready at the same time .... good I need my Tesla fix ..... :)

    arghhh hard not to think it would, after reading "good toward purchase of a New Model X".... we're happy to provide you with a $3500 credit which can be used toward the purchase of a new Model S or Model X
  • Feb 12, 2016
    timf
    Are you talking about the $1000 credits earned through the referral program or the $3500 credit earned in substitution of the Powerwall? The former cannot be used on Model X, but the latter specifically said it could.
  • Feb 12, 2016
    SQLCPH
    What timf says. I used my +10 pcs of credits buying a new model S so it's definitely possible but required some back office work!! And as Tim says the "old" credits can't be used for a mx.

    And here we are still waiting for the configurator for founder mx ;-)
  • Feb 12, 2016
    Uncgolf
    I know the old credits can not be used for the X, but the email said the new $3500 credit (in lieu of the Powerwall) could be used for either X or S. It sounds like gforce heard that it can no be used for the Founders X..which makes no sense to me.
  • Feb 12, 2016
    notblueclk
    What corrections?
  • Feb 12, 2016
    andrewket
    Not yet. He has a note out to the appropriate folks. Honestly, it's the least they can do considering I haven't taken delivery yet. If I hadn't paid for the car in full already I definitely should be able to use it. Now they'll have to cut me check, but I'm sure that's happened before (over payment), or someone financed 100% and wanted their cash deposit back.

    I don't have solar and just found out my utility charges same
    regardless of time of day you use it so powerwall only good
    for power outages so I'm changing to 3500 goodies.
    Might get another set 21" greys to resell for cheap.
    more money in the bank.Try to buy another FBR X at 144,950.
  • Feb 14, 2016
    notblueclk
    I agree that if you're not planning to have solar, thats an issue. But it's not just trying to arbitrage an on-peak/off-peak delta. You can do that with solar alone, since on-peak is usually when the sun is shining. The real value is in the fact that most utilities buy electricity from solar at a rate far lower than what they sell. For example, my utility sells me electricity at $.11/KWh, but would only buy my excess at $.02/KWh. By storing my electricity in a Powerwall, I get its full value by not buying the electricity from the utility.

    Agree if I had solar I would get powerwall.mine sells me at.17/KWH

    Finally got to pick up my FBR X today. It went off without a hitch, The trunk hatch matches perfectly and they were able to apply the $3500 Powerwall credit to the Founders X. Very impressed with the interior and how big the car feels with the gigantic windshield.

    For some reason the software update for my X was prior to the Auto opening door update. They said they updated my car last night, but it does not have any of the auto opening controls. HmmHave all X owners gotten the newest software update?
  • Feb 16, 2016
    andrewket
    What # are you, and where are you located again? Did you ever get any info on why your car was delayed?
  • Feb 16, 2016
    Uncgolf
    #68, my rear hatch was dented during transportation. I had to wait a month for them to manufacture a new hatch, delivery it and then install it. Still not sure why I do not have the latest software though. I am on 7.1 (2.10.71) instead of 7.1 (2.11.54). In addition, my Tesla app does not recognize my X, so summons does not work.
  • Feb 16, 2016
    andrewket
    Ah, that's right. I forgot. Sorry. Congrats on the delivery!

    Are you running the latest iOS app? Sounds like Tesla may not have marked your car as delivered in the system. That enables the app.
  • Feb 16, 2016

    I read somewhere it takes a few days for the system to update and record that you own the car and let the app work
  • Feb 16, 2016

    The secret is to log out and log back into the tesla app to get the New X to show up. Also, Anyone know how to log out and back into of the 3rd party app Remote S..or how to get it to recognize a 2nd Tesla?

    Tesla Road Trip is a non-profit org (we're technically not a club) that organizes trips for Tesla owners and enthusiasts. Historically we plan one destination-based gathering per year. We're based in the mid-Atlantic, but likely will expand as interest increases.

    Tesla opened the configuration for European FBR Model X yesterday. The design studio shows the standard options for Signature Model X where all extras except from ludicrous mode, cold weather package and tow package are included.

    I got the information from my sales advisor that if I want the additional extras I�ll have to pay the base price of the Model X P90D plus 10.900 � for ludicrous mode, 1.100 � for cold weather package and 800 � for tow package.

    As far as I read from posts in this forum these extras where included in the US FBR Model X. Is this correct?
  • Mar 2, 2016
    andrewket
    It's a little confusing.

    In the US, we paid a fixed amount regardless of the options (including Ludicrous, tow, wheels, and cold weather).

    Most options showed as included, but ludicrous, tow, wheels, and weather showed their option price. The total was shown, then a credit equal to the amount necessary to bring it back to the fixed price. Taxes were added on at the end, based on the total price, which means paying taxes on the additional options.

    My guess is your sales rep just doesn't understand the nuance, which isn't surprising since the FbRs are unusual.
  • Mar 2, 2016

    Thanks everyone. Already spent some tesla time today in the parking lot. Always fun.

    The garage is just a bit too tight for the FWDs. They open, but not all the way, and not consistently. This week I'm going to change out the opener for a jack screw type (wall mount) and raise the tracks. It should solve the problem.

    Summon gets the first set of tires in, but won't apply enough torque on the second set to get over the slight lip. Same thing as the S.

    Just put my Signature Red Founders up for auction on Ebay. Enjoyed the 3 week trial and more than a little curious as where the bidding will stop. Went for $30k to over $100K in the first few hours. I walked up to my S today and the door did not open...I was sad.

    This is great news! I was told I had to pay for Ludicrous, Winter & Tow too, and was really in doubt about the Ludicrous option....
    While in Geneva (Great to see the model X in real life AND Great to see the crowds at the Tesla stand) I got an email from someone from inside sales that I could "make my configuration more complete at no additional cost"... Coming back on Saturday I could not reach him, so I was just hoping this meant Ludicrous as I did not select that option yet... of course, it could also be an extra seat cushion or.... so based on my earlier experiences I was not sure yet... but reading this makes me happy!

    To answer my own question, $115.5K is the base Model X90P as stated way earlier in this thread. One thing that was nice is that on my Chase financing through Tesla, the referral program credit counted toward my down payment. The full amount was subject to sales tax however.

    Today My European X FE FO Order became final...

    (sig red; 6 black seats; black headliner; carbon int ; 22" onyx; all other options were incl. so not much to choose :))

    A lot of doubt about 6 or 7, the carbon etc. (Thank you all for posting pics and debating 6 or 7 seats... it was really helpful for my decision... ) but now I am very happy with my choice... Now the waiting begins... they say mid Summer... so hoping August, expecting September... Maybe... maybe, June just to make shareholders happy with the announcement that the first have been delivered in Europe? Wishful thinking I guess... but who knows?

    Looks like all EU Founder's gets a Signature VIN.

    We also got a option to sell the Powerwall for USD 3500.

    Thanks for the info!
    Was that communicated through mail / site / Phone?
    I have been asking for this, but nobody knew anything...

    Other question: How about a signature / founder ed. roadtrip this summer? I'm already talking to 3 sig res holders in NL to discuss this.. so if 2 show up, we need 3 more for a perfect roadtrip (alps / riviera?). :cool:
