How common is ghosting?

Just as you suspected this is BS. They certainly try to use the same windshield part that came with your car originally as replacements, but I have a car that came with -H windshield, had a -H replacement and then had the -B replacement.
Also since you already have a 00-B windshield on a loaner, you can show it to the SA as the real proof. I don't know why Tesla representatives are so dead set on spewing lies all the time. Part of the on-board training? Reminds me of the human-centipede South park episode a bit, I wonder why.

Following back up here for others who may be experiencing similar things.
My SA double checked with a more senior/experience parts advisor and confirmed that I/we were correct (no surprise) and was able to place an order for the 1105964-00-B windshield. They said no guarantees this will improve the ghosting, but we're happy to swap this for you that's your preference. I gave them to green light to move forward -- will report back on the results.

Reporting back for others who may be considering/experiencing ghosting issues. I received the car back today and went for a drive this evening to test if 1105964-00-B resolved the problem. And I'm happy to report that is absolutely did! Based on the positive reports here for others who replaced their windshield with this specific part and the X100D loaner I had that was also flawless, there looks to be a good trend that this is resolution to this problem.
Many thanks to everyone here who provided the correct info to share with my SC.

I went through this thread and found this:
MX WSHLDASSEMBLY MONO-CAM HWAK4D-3 (1066747-01-C) 1
I am getting my windshield replaced for ghosting and asked my SA to make sure to order this one.

argh! this just happened to me, but i have the nice non-ghosting "B" windshield.
i got safelite to put their epoxy in it in hopes that it doesn't crack further but i don't feel like shelling out $1000-$1700 right now, i need winter wheels and tires!

Had a discussion about my windshield with my service center. They did the reflection test and it passed just fine but I refused to accept that. I had them point the loaner X (that had no ghosting) at my X across the parking lot with the high beams turned on and showed the service manager my issues. He was able to sit in both cars and compare. He agreed it was very bad and said he would replace the windshield anyways and is now in the process of getting approval. As for part numbers, he said they can only get whatever is the current part in the system. They can't order specific part numbers.
This is a lie. They absolutely can order whatever part number you point them at. They did it for me.

i'm going to play devil's advocate so bear with me @verygreen
is it not possible with how quickly Tesla is changing that they could phase out or get rid of some older part #'s thus rendering this part # useless?
While this is possible, that does not mean there cannot be multiple current part numbers available. They are able to choose between those so "we cannot order a specific part number" is a lie. If they said "we can no longer order part XXX because we don't have any stock and it's discontinued", that would have been another story.i'm going to play devil's advocate so bear with me @verygreen

It is possible the person in question just did not know better? Lie requires intent.
