Ah no worries, yeah the updated taillight have been around for a while now (since late summer builds, I think?). There's an updated headlight design that just came out in US/Canada but so far only on recent model 3 builds and not yet model Y it seems.
Congrats - I had a similar issue and it was so soon I had to delay delivery. That delay cost me 4 months - although now I have a 2021 MYP... So some of the updates that I wouldn't have had back in August of last year.... It is what it is.
I enjoy seeing happy Tesla experiences (especially since I am a stock holder too)

Congratulations on getting a car that quickly.
The good news - you may be out of that vortex.
The bad news - you'll be finding any excuse to drive that Y. The further the better.
Worse, all your friends and family will have to endure endless Tesla talk.
Our younger daughter and her husband got their LR Y in December. I got a turn behind the wheel, it's very good.
I picked up a Y on 12/31 at the Fremont factory that was built on 12/30. I looked at maybe 50 Y's that were in the lot and NONE of them had the new headlights. All the 3's had the new headlights though.
Congrats! But I'm a bit confused, I thought only red costs $2k all these time. Something changed? is it no longer "multi-coat"?

100% true! I ordered on. 9/4 and took delivery on 9/29...drove 3k miles in the first 2.5 months. My average is 666 miles per month pre-covid.
I’ve noticed me talking about my car to friends too...I’ve noticed we all do it because we just love the car and what it’s capable of. I let one of my friends drive theY and he said his next car will def be electric. This from someone who resisted it a couple of years ago...he chose a Jag F pace instead.

Ordered my Y yesterday and will have it in three days. Would have been just hours but my color choices were not in stock in Santa Barbara, CA. Found one in Costa Mesa and it's being shipped up here right now. MY, AWD long range, induction wheels, Midnite Silver w/ black interior. Plug me in, baby! I'll be riding' high this weekend.

Not necessarily a "reject" as Tesla builds a number of cars on spec for cases like this i.e., being able to match an existing inventory car with a custom order for fast delivery. Living in California as the OP does can help as that is generally where a lot of inventory is.
I don’t think my car was “delivered” and rejected as it was in flawless shape inside and out with very low miles, less than 10. Also considering the build date was less than a week before I picked up its more likely someone’s car was ready and they canceled before delivery.
In any case I love the car!
I also do believe Tesla knows the run rate and common specs so they make cars for locations like Costa Mesa delivery center for fast distribution.

Yes, I expect that it was a 'speculation' car, shipped as back-up or in hopes that it would be sold.
It probably wasn't a reject, unless you count someone not being able to line up financing on New Years Eve as a reject.
The Model y has very few hard options, and some color combos aren't going to be popular. Certainly the base white with black interior is the most popular, perhaps even if it wasn't the least expensive. Wheels are trivial to swap during prep, and adding a tow hitch is an hour or can be a service visit.
