2022 Model S VINs

[WilliamG]

I’d imagine about the same. Nothing has changed physically at this point. Literally just the letter in the VIN.

This. It’s literally going to be a letter change on the VIN and nothing more. Tesla doesn’t make model year changes, just rolling changes as time goes by. In this case nowhere near enough time has passed for any meaningful changes.

@travwill Thanks, but we are looking for factual reports from new NF owners, comparing their builds to this issues checklist. A reasonable person might think an early/ mid 2021 build would have more issues than an early 2022 build (six months later). Emperical data sought.

This is Tesla, with a low-volume vehicle. I’d expect zero changes thus far.

@WilliamG "Empirical data" sought, not opinions; thank you!

Congrats !! You're gonna love the car.. I also live in New York and I'm very happy with the 19s. I had a few pot-hole incidents in the past few months and my 19s had no problems. If I went with 21s, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten at least 1 flat tire and maybe even a bent rim. The streets are shitt here.

Thanks! Super excited. I appreciate the input on the 19s. Glad to hear I made the correct choice. Definitely agree about the streets here in Queens and Brooklyn.

19’s are great, all around.

FYI, apparently, someone has a 2022 NF VIN: Canada Model S Plaid and LR orders and deliveries!

I just picked up my Plaid on Friday. It is a 2022

Please tell us about the build quality of your 2022!

I can already tell you.

Ah ok, well yeah I'd expect newer builds, now 2022, to be somewhat better than the initial 2021 release. No official changes though but they could have snuck in some improved methods of build. Was more just thinking there are no one day to another changes though of course. Seems we are seeing some improved reports of cars that meet buyer's expectations well at least.

It'll take a while to consider all the unofficial different viewpoints of buyers as "empirical".

@travwill "Empirical data" as when people confirm that they have or don't have the items listed in the wiki delivery checklist. For example, in the delivery thread, a new 2022 owner reported, last night, not having the waves/distorted rear glass. This past summer and fall, most/all reporting having that, the worm, the shaking driver's side mirror, etc. Looking to see what items on that long known/common issues list may no longer exist, if any. So far, just one report of a clear/normal rear window.

My 2022 build had tons of scratches swirls a few dents and dirt. I wonder if it sat on the Fremont grass for a while or what.

2022 build is just as bad as the 2021s I’ve seen including airbag worm and asymmetrical frunk gaps.

It’s quite embarrassing and all of us know how bad Tesla build quality is yet we’re still buying and there’s a long list of orders so why should Tesla change?

I hope the new factories do better. Doubt Berlin and China have these Fremont quality issues.

I'm confused - I ordered mine on November 27 with Delivery in December 2021; updated delivery winder of December 9 - 15, and my VIN is MF and it's classified as a 2021.. Did I get screwed?

Well, NF 2022's (NF460+) are being delivered as we speak, so potentially.... What's your VIN? How old is it?

VIN 5YJSA1E65MF4xxxxx - assigned to me about 2 days ago.

What are the next two numbers? Anything before MF is the same for all cars. The numbers after MF is the unique serial id

Doesn’t help. Need three or four digits after the MF

At best, that’s an October build. Maybe even late September. Most of the cars delivering today are mid November builds
