21” wheels means theirs is a MYP, which has more different from a MYLR than just the wheels. MYP are only made in the Freeport plant (don’t have to leave Texas and come back in like Austin builds). MYP is also a much more profitable trim for Tesla, so they tend to get priority. Those are few things off the top that explain the difference, there could be others.

Oops. Just now logging in to delete my post because I had missed that earlier. Thanks for the clarification though.
Because Texas and many other states do not allow automakers to sell directly to consumers, so Teslas built in Texas must be shipped to another state that does allow direct sales, paid for in full, then they will be shipped back to Texas so they can be picked up by the buyer.
Im sure your right about timing for the East Coast deliveries. Makes me mad with a 1/16 OD. But to be honest, I can understand the logic as they react to Quarterly finance reporting pressures. It's how the game is played... As stated above, we will continue to root for the IRS "fairies" to drag their feet. Congrats to all who've received or about to receive their MY's.
Edit: Just read the last 2 sentences of your post - you can ignore my last paragraph then.
GREAT! We were there for about 90 minutes going over every inch and setting up profiles. We were the first pickup of the day, so they kept coming out the check on us. No discrepancies to note. We live about 100 miles away in the Paso Robles area, so we needed the time to ensure there was nothing cosmetic to note up front.
This is making me not feel as bad about reserving an inventory car that was the same configuration as my original order on 1/20. W/B/19/TOW. I had been pushed to april/may but now I will be taking delivery next week. Cost an extra $2k but in the end I may get the full tax credit to make up for it.
Hmmm that's an interesting take. Which I guess coincides with Tesla and Volvo's updated verbiage on the tax-credit situation.
I declined one VIN and my reservation was put on hold until I released the hold in the app. I was given a limit of up to two weeks to release the hold. I released the hold after a few days, then I received a second VIN three days later. Since you’re in the Bay Area, you could still get a car before the end of March.
Are you still getting this car? That's my exact build configuration I'm wondering if they'll reassign it to me...up in Humboldt
Are you going to ask Tesla to adjust the panel gap? If so, I was wondering if they would have any issue with the newly installed PPF. I am seriously considering getting PPF installed as well.
The PPF should be fine. I will let you know how it goes.
