I was thinking.... if we have any long-timers here who have recently taken delivery, it would be nice if they might provide a quick checklist for folks to confirm they have the Ryzen chipset, Li-Ion 12v battery, heated Wiper Park, dual pane rear glass, or other recent config upgrades.
Personally, I don't know the touchscreen sequence to pull up the chipset or wiper info but know how to visually inspect the battery. But having all of that in a single how-to post for future reference would be nice.
1.) Ryzen, at this point, everyone is getting it, unless a 15xxxx or 16xxxx VIN falls from the sky. Before delivery, call the main number (not your SA) and they call look up the VIN's build sheet. At the time of delivery, it's in the System Software-->Other Info option (or something like that)
2.) new li-ion -- Like the Ryzen, it seems the switchover is nearly complete. The 800 number can confirm. It seems to co-exist with the Ryzen (i.e. if you have one, you have both). It's not displayed in the GUI anywhere, and the battery itself is under the trim panel in the frunk (up by the windshield, on the right side as you're looking at it).
3.) heated wipers -- This one is trickier. It does not seem to be visible from outside the car, because the heating elements are behind a black-coated portion of the bottom of the windshield glass. From inside the frunk, on the left side (as you're facing the windshield) there's a wiring harness way up underneath the trim panel surround. From what I've read, it's always there, but in older cars it had fewer wires (connected to the camera module at the top of the windshield). With heated wipers, there's an extra wire. Also, the GUI has a button for it, but it's only enabled/visible for some people and not yet other people. Currently, it seems like most people don't know what they got, some people have the hardware, and a few people also have the button in the GUI.
4.) dual-pane rear windows -- this one is the most rare but easiest to confirm upon delivery. You can (again) try the 800 number in advance of delivery, but they might not have a reliable answer. At delivery, open both doors on either side of the car. The front door will definitely have dual-pane glass and you can see the shape of the edge of the window looks like the edge a clear Oreo (think two panes with a recessed valley in between them, less than 1mm wide/deep). Now look at the edge of the rear window. if it's smooth and domed over, it's not dual-pane. If the edge has that little three-layer sandwich look, then it's dual-pane. Only a few people have reported having these, and to be honest, those might be mistaken reports (speculating, only because there have been so few and the VINs are all over the range).
