There are number of people got Sep 23 built car, some were ordered in Jan.. These are the cars have completed an ocean cruise on GC. I ordered early Dec, and also get a Sep 23 car and waiting for delivery, no date yet. There is no different in spec compared to the one build in 2024, I think we all get that . However, when you ready to trade-in / sell in few years' times, I would think the 2024 car will get more compared to the one build in 23. The only option is to cancel and reorder from inventory to get a 24 car, but that mean will lose rebates in NSW, i.e. stamp duty, and ordering fee, which is over $3k. :-(

You likely got the last of the MY23 models irrespective of when others ordered. It is what it is. It is also possibly one of the Glovis bug cars
If you don't like it suggest cancel the order.
BTW was yours a standard order or did you have options included - seat, paint, wheels?

Welcome. As a few have said, you have been assigned a vehicle that completed a luxury pacific cruise and holiday off the Brisbane coast last year.
For those who ordered in August of last year getting a MY24, 2024 built vehicle, it is because they were waiting such a long time for their original vehicle to complete its holiday that Tesla reassigned them new vehicles. Pure chance that it was a 2024 build
Looking at the AAT berthing schedule for Brisbane - Lapis Arrow is scheduled for unloading tomorrow during the day, and Walrus Ace Feb 27.

Yes, Tesla would have assigned the vehicle based on the customer specs.
Stinkbugs are a complementary bonus feature across the range.
I once drove off in a brand new showroom VW Passat.
When i got home there were ants coming out of the A Pillar
They had to replace the A Pillar Airbag as there was an ants nest there.
When did you place your order? I guess all ex-GC bug cars are all considered "inventory" cars, and hence are marked MY23 on Tesla inventory?
Regarding Tesla disclosing stinkbug cars, as a customer I would like that, but I guess from Tesla's point of view, the cars themselves aren't compromised in the mechanical sense, so they might feel they don't need to disclose.

Tesla just confirmed that my car was previously on GC (I ordered in November for the first time). Now, I read somewhere that they give 6 months autopilot free on this or was it just for people who did not cancel their order?
You can try, but I suspect the compensation was for those who waited several months extra for their vehicle. If you've recently ordered and been offered a vehicle within the standard window I don't think you'll have much of a case but worth a try.
honestly don’t get the whining and complaining about getting a 2023 v 2024 vehicle. They were made months apart. Aren’t they exactly the same car with the same specs? like how much would resell value/ insurance difference be?
I ordered in November promised before Xmas and we all know what happened then, it got delayed further then the email of 6months EAP came thru.
TBH with the Xmas update the previous year I played with EAP a bit but to me it was too gimmicky, I can see some situations where summon might be useful but its a bit slow and can be buggy. What else was there lane change again humans can usually do better. Think there was autopark but I wouldn't trust it not to hit other cars.
I'd prefer to try FSD but only when v12 comes out but then again I prefer driving anyway after all that's why we buy cars not robotaxis?
Maybe in another 50 years when I'm long gone...

I finally got the "Your Model Y has arrived in Australia, delivery approaching" SMS. It also said they will notify me to schedule a window "as soon as the vehicle is prepared and ready for delivery".
Just got the same sms and email. Hopefully I finally get an invoice soon. Still haven’t got my VIN back in the app, assume still the case for everyone else? Ordered Dec 5 and EDD still March 6-27.
