Took delivery of our 2022 Model S LR White/Cream on 19" wheels 2 days ago. Very positive experience and was pleasantly surprised as I could not find a single item wrong with it. Paint and fit, gaps and panels, trim and finish all were as good as it gets. After getting it home, in better light, my wife noticed a very small blemish on the soft cream colored trim of the dash on the passenger side. It is so small that maybe they will refuse it, we'll see.
Car was delivered with P Zero high performance summers in the dead of winter while it was snowing. Here is my "square" dedicated winter wheel/tire set up which I immediately installed literally 30 minutes after I drove away with the car. Did have everything on hand since October due to expected shortages/delivery times.

Car is amazing in every respect. Being I have over a year behind the wheel of our Y and had a week or so time to get into the new holiday UI, the learning curve was rather short.
I have the acceleration boost option on the Y but there is no comparison, the S pulls like crazy. Glad I did not spend the extra 50k on the Plaid.
No issue whatsoever with the yoke and it's mounted controls, in fact I really like the flashers which I thought would be an issue. The yoke is liberating so to say as having nothing above really makes a difference which you must experience to understand. I do not understand those who do not like the yoke, then again some people like white cars and others black.
Surprised how small the frunk is compared to the Y and even rear hatch space is greatly reduced compared to the Y. Going to miss the secondary shallow space found in the Y, under the hatch floor as it does not exist on the S.
I should mention the cars are delivered with the front licence plate adapter installed which is fine if your province/state requires front plates that is. I did mention to not put it on and was told they legally cannot do so as the car was crash tested with it on and must be delivered so. FYI, it is only stuck on, no holes are drilled. Remove the 3 screws to remove the painted exterior portion. Use a heat gun and heat the black remaining portion until quite warm/hot. Pull from one corner and pry off slowly. Takes quite a bit of effort, a little patience, but it does come of cleanly. The remaining tape was easily removed just by pulling/peeling.
The Y is now my wife's ride and the S mine. Time sell the Mercedes GLC AMG.
