The only other point would be perhaps one with the new door handle improvements. I wonder what VIN that changed?
Door handles are a free retrofit at the service center. I wouldn't let this influence my purchase decision much at all.

there's no wall charger; that would be $1200 more (the ability to charge in a few hours at home is a nice feature for us); we could live with a NEMA but eventually, we'd feel compelled to buy a wall charger for faster charging at home.
I meant to reply to this earlier. I'd "take advantage" of the opportunity to get the twin chargers without paying for the HPWC. Some new customers want exactly this option and are being told either (a) it's tricky but doable or (b) not doable -- depending on who they talk to from Tesla.
Get the car without the HPWC. Get a 14-50 installed (50A circuit, 40A to car). Don't buy an HPWC for at least a month unless you find someone selling one for, say, $800 or less on this forum. If after a month you don't find one for sale on this forum, then have the chat with your wife about whether it's worth $1200 to you (+ installation) to get the likely-rarely-used HPWC.
You may decide you want the HPWC, but you definitely don't need to pay retail at time of purchase of the car. Some customers ordering today wish the online configuration let
them do that.
"But if I get the 14-50 and later want the HPWC it will cost me another electrician visit and $".
That's correct. It would cost you another visit but, I suspect, after you've driven the S a bit you and your wife will "have fun discussions" about who gets the vehicle on various days (like custody) and end up wanting to get an X or a Gen3 down the road. If that eventuality seems likely to you (soon after getting the vehicle)
and you decide you want the HPWC, you'll probably find that you want the HPWC line run
in addition to the 14-50 line rather than as a replacement for the 14-50. This leaves you able to charge one car "fast" and the other "half fast" which is pretty good, IMO.
