Tesla has approved the buyback of the Model X Plaid and more updates

[@Anthony__420]

wow again!! I just got my replacement for my 2023 Model X I got all my money back minus miles. Just picked up my new X yesterday Wish me luck

[@sherwinm]

Congrats!!! Hope all goes well. Enjoy your new ride.

[@KobraToldYa]

No 3rd Model X? 😂 good luck with your decision and enjoy your time there.

[@sherwinm]

She wanted a third and I said no! 😂 The waiting game right now

[@badtoro]

Good. I have my first X and will be my last X

[@aL0-0-7]

Congrats! Cybertruck coming soon!

[@sherwinm]

It is something we’re considering 🤞🏼

[@mikesevgarage]

We have an approval on our Model X buyback, but are still waiting on the actual numbers like you. I wonder if the team that puts the numbers together is running behind 🤔

[@sherwinm]

Ya it’s possible. Lots of buyback requests? People laid off? Holiday season? @kobratoldya just did a buyback and I think his offer took about a month. Good luck to us. Hope we get good news soon.

Tesla took my 2023 back and yesterday got another new 2024 X.. I had to get a lemon law lawyer.Tesla gave me all my money back minus miles. What was wrong with yours ?

[@3verydayKen]

what were some of the problems on the X that lead to this buyback?

[@sherwinm]

For the Plaid, Is Tesla Model X Worth the Headache? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_QenadjLt1gJI And for our long range there’s a playlist on my channel But both had steering rack replaced within a year among other issues

[@NetZmby]

Just ran across a video on the Sierra EV Denali it looks really nice :)

[@sherwinm]

My neighbor tried it. He said it was too fancy and I agree with him. He ended up getting a Hummer EV.

[@CristienPerez]

Happy for you! Unfortunately, my model x with steering shaking vibration and a shudder when accelerating was DENIED! I had to wait a month for an answer and I replied to the email stating why I want a buyback so now I have to wait till next year to get a reply. Ridiculous

[@sherwinm]

Are those issues they considered issues? Or "within spec". If our buyback was denied, I knew there will be other things that will need service. The clicking noise will come back. The tech wasn't surprised by that particular issue and he said it will only get louder. The steering rack however, they were surprised that both our Model X went through a replacement within a year. This process has taken longer than previous. Any issue you have, just bring it in so it is recorded. Sorry, you're going through issues as well. Hopefully, you can find a solution. You can also look into a lemon law lawyer if it comes to that. Good luck.

Funny how the algorithm works. Have a test drive for a Cybertruck for today. Hearing “Buy Back” is sobering. How many buy backs have there been? 😳

[@sherwinm]

Two buy backs. 2022 Model X Long Range and the replacement 2023 Plaid. We also have a Cybertruck demo drive (two of them, one as a first time test drive and another with my wife). Even with multiple buybacks, we still will continue to buy Tesla until other companies catch up or offer something compelling. Rivian is a close second to us.

[@Annette_Hons]

Dang, I’ve been considering the Model X as my next EV but with your two buy backs in a short period of time…. May need to consider something else. But for now though, still loving my Mach E

[@sherwinm]

It's a great car if you get a good one. I know many who have no issues. I also know many who have issues. I'd say 50% each way. But one thing we realize is, for being a 4-5 people family, it's not that big for the amount of things we bring on road trips. We always put one seat down to make room for luggages. I'm planning to do a video before surrendering it. We missed each other in Vegas again. Hoping for a Team Red photo op 😁

[@badtoro]

Don’t do it. My 2024 had loose bolts on the door hinge. I’m talking barely finger tight. The driver door sagged until I had to raise it up myself and tighten up the bolts myself. I wasn’t waiting 3 months for the service center appointment

[@Anthony__420]

I tried other EVs while waiting on my money from Tesla for my 2023 Model X buy back. The Polestar2, Mustang Mach E and EV6. Mustang was the best but the ride quality on a X is hard to replace so Picked up a 2024 Model X yesterday . Hopefully this will be perfect
