Really? My delivery was also 9/18 and I've already had 3 spoilers. Did you try scheduling it with Mobile Service with the Tesla app? Every time I scheduled with Mobile Service they had spoilers on hand for installation.
On the contrary, when I tried to get my spoiler fixed at the Costa Mesa service center, they told me that it was handled my Mobile Service and sent me to them.

I've asked for a spoiler during every service visit (and through the mobile app) on the following months

02/2019 - Attended the badge/spoiler install day and they turned me back while 2 buddies got theirs installed....

Wow, luck does not seem to be on your side
You even went to the spoiler and badging event and got turned away?
To be fair, it's been a nightmare to get one to even fit properly. I had Tesla Mobile come out twice to fix the one put on from the spoiler and badging event. The mobile service tech couldn't find one that fit properly, we tried all 5 in his truck. He made a few calls and another Mobile Service van pulled up and delivered about 5 more spoilers. Only one of them fit.
He said that the spoilers were "the bottom of the barrel spoilers" and that the good ones were already on other vehicles. He said that Tesla sends the defective ones back to the supplier. And he also said that the ones that are rejected are sometimes accidentally reloaded onto the service vans as well.
Maybe Tesla is sorting out the spoiler nightmare and only fixing problematic installs? That explains being stopped in the In n Out parking lot a few weeks ago, someone asked me how on earth I managed to get a spoiler installed on my car
This doesn't bode well for HW3 retrofits....

I imagine the SLC service center must be getting them in slowly since I just had mine delivered during a service visit, for another issue, in Boise; I did have to ask if any were available though. I’m almost certain our mobile tech’s receive their parts from SLC since that’s the service center I was directed to when I purchased TPMS sensors for my winter wheels. I wouldn’t expect Tesla to call you to schedule an appointment though, so it’s probably best to keep checking in if you’re wanting the spoiler sooner rather than later. Good luck!
My spoiler with part number ending in 00 that was delivered in April fits perfectly and shows no signs of lifting.
The only difference is that I installed my spoiler myself with no special tools. I stupidly pulled off all the red tape backing before setting it in place but somehow managed to get it on there perfectly.

Nice job on the spoiler installation !!! Glad to see someone has received a spoiler that fits without gaps....
My appointment is tomorrow with Mobile Service. I was told they were brining a "bunch" of them for test fitting. This will be attempt # 3.
Got my spoiler and badge installed yesterday by a mobile tech. He said the latest batch has been much better and confirmed that the issue is inconsistencies with the spoiler, not the trunk.
He did a dry-fitting and it fit perfectly, no lifting at all. Then he took the protective sheet off and stuck it down. Time will tell, but I'd be surprised if it lifts at all based on the dry fit.

Mobile Service stopped by for fitting attempt # 3, but could only bring 2 spoilers out. Unfortunately, gaps still exist with the latest shipment. They are getting better though......back in the queue for fitting attempt # 4.

I have read someone removing their spoiler, cleaning off the residue on the spoiler and trunk lid, attaching new double stick tape and re-installing..

I think some heat from a heat gun would help release the 3m tape. Then you could reapply new tape and restick.

I know they have bigger fish to fry, but they have been advertising the P with the spoiler for a couple years now... Seems odd that they can't get ones made that fit the car correctly while several aftermarket companies have.

I agree and I'm now considering a rear spoiler from the aftermarket...possibly the TSportline Executive.
