I posted probably several hundred pages ago about it. It was bittersweet getting a VIN on 7/22 and realizing it was oddly so low/old (217xxx vs latest ones with 232xxx at the time). It was a month-old, built 6/25, and lacked HEPA. I was disappointed because three other friends that ordered around the same time had already taken deliveries of cars with HEPA. I suspected this was a rejected car getting re-assigned to me. I couldn’t reach anyone at Tesla and my SA wasn’t much help on verifying whether the car had HEPA or not, so I went to the SC to sort things out. Staff said the car is parked out front and to take a look.
I confirmed no-HEPA but also saw employees already circled a dent and highlighted other problem areas. Tesla would have fixed the issues, and the wait sucks, but my wife and I were not desperate enough to acccept the car. It took four days to unmatch the VIN. My SA would unmatch it and the VIN would re-attach to my account minutes later. I feared the car would still show up on my driveway on the following Monday and kick-start my loan. Fortunately it all got sorted out. Staff said I would be kicked to the end of the queue for rejecting the car but I didn’t believe that. My EDD has been sitting steady at mid-August since then, currently Aug 8 - Aug 19.
