I was wondering the same. When I went to the website, they said "in stock". Have the pre-orders delivered?

Vendor Floor Mats

I’ve been following the ship’s progress on vessel finder. It is called the Jackson Bay and due in port of LA on the 12th of June. So wouldn’t expect delivery until some time after that.
Actually, curious if the 2nd row on the Tesla Shields has changed. I thought their middle seat raised lip followed the cut line instead of going straight across. Any concerns for anyone? One reviewer I watched had mentioned this type of design being uncomfortable for sitting on middle seat (not that it is ever very comfortable to sit in the middle).
Good eye,
We were worried about potential fit issues on our first run of model y mats so we played safe and kept them the "standard" way to make sure we had no surprises after such a long preorder wait. I wanted to be sure that the edges didn't mess with the car interior in the case of variations to manufacturing from car to car. Tesla has been known to be pretty lenient with tolerances, and that part of the mat isn't exactly large enough to gamble with edge-fit. Once we get more user data, we can make more aggressive designs down the road. This is one reason why I wanted our preorder prices to be as low as possible. People get a good mat for way below retail that is still better than other mats on the market and we get real data and solid reviews to improve our future product with while still rewarding early customers. I would hate to charge a premium for a mat that didn't work perfectly for customers!
Thanks. I really appreciate the transparency I've seen from your company. I also design and manufacture a lot of products so I understand how these tradeoffs can make sense. Looking forward to hearing the feedback as people start receiving the product.

@Glenn T check out the prompt you get when you visit this page: 2020 Tesla Model Y | WeatherTech FloorLiner - car floor mats liner, floor tray protects and lines the floor of truck and SUV carpeting from mud, snow, water and dirt | WeatherTech Canada you can see Tesla modified the seat mount late last year. It seems most 3rd party mats have not made that adjustment to fit snugly. If you visit the 2021 page from the same vendor (WeatherTech), they don't prompt you. I believe all 2021 have the revised mount, which is why it doesn't prompt. Ironically, we ordered the 2021 model from WeatherTech but seems we still got mats with the 2020 style mount for whatever reason. On those particular mats, it doesn't look that bad so we decided to just keep them as-is rather than trying to return them and waiting again for the proper ones.
Revised seating started late 2020 and into 2021. I don't know if any of the bigger companies are even producing revised mount mats yet, but I'm not one to ask
I am looking into this and will make modifications if the gaps are consistent across all revised mount model ys. Tolerances need to be checked to ensure we don't get issues being too snug. After all, assuming no modification from an end user, it's better to have a mat be a little too small vs a little too big.
since I'm too busy working on our stuff.
For example, this edge shows me that we made this section a little too long/big. Things like this give me valuable data to modify future mats if the issues are something that takes away from using experience.
