This more detailed version may make it easier - at least it does for me;

I received my Model X 100D, 2 weeks ago, probably produuced in april.
I stiil have ghosting, especially at night.

I agree that polarized glasses will help with ghosting, but that only works during the day when ghosting is not very noticeable.
You can't use polarized sunglasses at night when the contrast is much higher and therefore ghosting is more noticeable.
It's quite noticeable during the day too, but I agree it doesn't fully resolve the issue. I still haven't had an opportunity to drive much when it's dark. During summer, it isn't dark very long at night this far north.

@vandacca & @Yggdrasill what about the yellow lenses used for night time driving, perhaps that would help?
Most of those "yellow lens" glasses on Amazon are falsely advertised as being "polarized". They are not polarized, so they will not help with ghosting.
There are some theories that having yellow lenses improves contrast, but I'm not sure if that has been scientifically proven and even if it does, it may make ghosting more noticeable.
The only thing I've heard on this forum that seems to help with ghosting is tinting the windshield.
What's your windshield part number? (in the lower left corner when you look from outside)

Sure i would hardly expect them to be polarized, but i guess that's what's needed to remove ghosting, (something i don't notice or see).
however, they do improve contrast. i would suggest grabbing a cheap pair from an outdoors store from the shooting/gun section or amazon probably $5 or less and it actually works pretty good, although some may think you look dorky.
I found these sunglasses that are really polarized on amazon :

Nevertheless I agree most of glasses are simple plastic yellow glasses without any real improovement.
Effectively the polarized lens work as expected, no ghosting anymore. nevertheless you lose a lot of luminosity even if the contrast is higher.

I drove some more with the sunglasses today, and I'm more sure in my assessment. My polarized sunglasses eliminate the ghosting like 95%. If I pay *really* close attention in the right situations, I can still see a slight hint of ghosting, but that's okay.
When I think about it, polarized glasses are really nice in other ways too. It just occurred to me that the reason I suddenly could see people inside other cars is that the reflected light of the sky was gone. Also I didn't see the reflections off the upper dash. Awesome.
With polarized glasses, the colours on my iphone are really crazy though; purple, green, etc. Luckily (well, I guess, by design) the screens in the Tesla are still crystal clear.
Maybe it's possible to get clear glasses with polarized film. I will have to investigate.

That's how polarizing glasses work. A good way to check if glasses are actually polarized is by tilting your head while wearing the glasses and look at LCD - try that with Tesla, and you'll see that monitor will appear dim and even black. Polarized glasses also would prevent HUD from working as HUD is based on reflection which polarization blocks.
1034385-01-H is what I have as well and there is ghosting.
There's apparently a new part number that has no reported ghosting 1105964-00-B, at least with the sample size we have
So I was hoping to get more people with that one.
Well, not exactly like that.
Polarizing glasses block about half the light due to wrong polarization. Typical reflections (except from shiny metals and sch) are only polarized one way so that's how when using a polarizing filter on a camera you rotate it to remove unwanted reflections. Also LCDs do a similar trick I think.
Anyway if you believe the polarizing glasses you have remove ghosting, then try to put them sideways and see if ghosting is really back.
If it's not, that means the ghosting removal is for some other reason unrelated to polarization.
That does not help me but nice to know1034385-01-H is what I have as well and there is ghosting.

Just got my x100D delivered (sort of...dropped at a truck stop, I kid you not...) and I specifically looked at the part # after reading this thread today. I have the B, which looks like the new windshield. I will report back when I have a chance to drive it at night to see if it had ghosting. The loaner I had definitely did but it had an H windshield.
