I had a similar update this morning. First ED change since ordering on 3/5.
OD: 3/5; M3LR, MSM, Black, Aero no FSD
EDD#1: 5/23-6/20
EDD#2: 6/1-6/15
Taking delivery in Richmond, VA
237 through 247 are subject to using the older headlamps, but apparently not all vehicles in that range.
unfortunately for everyone in Japan the Yen has dropped significantly against both the USD and the Yuan since beginning of March. It looks like you are being hit with increases because of that on top of Tesla’s “inflation” increases.
First EDD change since OD of 03/05.
EDD #1 05/13 (05/18-06/01)
Woot woot

I honestly don’t see resale values of these cars being affected at all. 99% of the population has no idea about headlights beyond perhaps knowing that LED is the “best” and most modern type. Tesla never advertised the car as being specced with matrix lights and it won’t show up on the Monroney sticker. We, on this forum, are a tiny fraction of future and current Tesla owners - Tesla is probably averaging something like 1500 Model 3 deliveries every day at this point.
If someone wants matrix and is offered a car without there is the option to reject the VIN which at least a couple people here have done. Yes you’d need to wait a little longer but the reason they are installing the reflector type lights is obviously due to supply chain issues. If they didn’t install reflector headlights to get the car out the door to the customer there would be no car to reject in the first place because the factory would have ground to a halt. i.e. it would have taken longer to get a car anyway.

Well it happened. The best news this morning! I received my VIN. Also my EDD is now a 3 day window 05/16 - 05/19. I messaged my SA to see when is the earliest I can schedule a delivery. Light at the end of the tunnel. Hoping to pick up the car this weekend if I can. VIN# 253XXX
lol last week my EDD did the one day update as well, but for me was pushed out a day. Curious to see what happens for me tomorrow as all my EDD updates so far have happened on Saturdays at 8am.EDD changed this morning to 5/29-6/12 instead of 5/30-6/13. Minor bump but moving in the right direction

I checked the source code after seeing a 3 day window on the app.
I’ll definitely do DIY ceramic coating. Have never had PPF on a car before. I am a little worried about how vulnerable the front of the bumper will be to stone chips. Watched a couple DIY bumper PPF videos - looks pretty challenging but would save a lot. I ended up buying mud flaps

As the wheels turn in our daily Tesla soap. My 2 weeks got changed to 10 days, and of course they picked the end of my 14 days to change it to. Day 87 and no Vin.
But good news. Today must be early Father’s Day because I was just selected to ditch work and find the perfect swimsuit for my soon to be 16 yr old. They shopped until they dropped yesterday and came home with nothing, but guess who is now on the clock? Wish me luck - I’m thinking a nice Burkini would be just the ticket.
And to make things interesting, my wife has put AB on the line for Father’s Day if I’m successful, so start your engines because Papa definitely needs the boost.

The mobile connector isn't even an issue since they only aren't including it for orders made after the announcement that it isn't included anymore. So, while I agree a mobile connector should be included, anyone that ordered after the announcement date knew about the lack of a connector before ordering the vehicle.
As far as the lights, I'm basically "meh" on it. They're headlights. The car still looks the same with either type. They both light up the road. They're both LED.
The Tesla contract allegedly says that they can make changes however they like.
If these issues bother you that much, just cancel and buy something else. There are a lot of EV options out there now.
Tesla has a product that sells itself. Are you shocked if they aren't interested in doing "right by folks"? If you don't want the car, there are over a million people that would be happy to take it instead.

Yaaaa, first EDD change for me too. Now 05/20 -06/03. Makes me think the car is manufactured, and a VIN will be assigned soon.
