No, but from my understanding they are not 4680 cells and they do have adjustable air suspension, as with all Model S’ though some of the current owners are better equipped to answer that!

Well, you just shot my logic that the round wheel is causing the delay Duke had! I have no idea why ours are so different now. I will update the spreadsheet tomorrow.
Dang, I was hoping it would come with the 4680 batteries. The model 3 are rolling out with them.
No, the Model 3 is not rolling out with 4680 cells. (Currently just the Model Y AWD uses them.)

Yep, biggest upgrade with the S is the air ride, it's a huge difference from the 3 or Y. It's also a much bigger vehicle.
On 4680's, they won't anytime soon, Tesla did a lot of work updating the packs and more importantly the chemistry of the 18650 cells for the S and X refresh. These new packs and accompanying cells are fantastic, they charge fast and obviously perform (i.e., Plaid).
Keeping in mind the cell identifiers (1865'0, 4680, 2170) are just dimensions of the actual cells, they don't reflect the chemistry inside the cells or necessarily how they will perform. So, while the 4680 is all around a better cell solution (less parts, better cooling, etc) that doesn't mean that the others are bad, they are just a better cell size to move forward with and will likely be the focus of chemistry advancements as they reach volume.
So with 18650 cells there simply more cells. From a parts perspective more to deal with, but less impact as individual cells fail (which they do).
We know Tesla won't be able to make 4680's in volume for the next 2-3 years which is why you're only seeing them in some Y's.
As Tesla advances chemistry in these cells they won't immediately release longer range vehicles, just the opposite, they will maintain the current range and simply use less cells to increase margin.
It won't be until we start seeing 500 mile mass-produce competition (prototypes, low volume production, and concept vehicles don't count) that Tesla will put the magic range card out of their pocket.

The new Model 3 might, but as of right now no Model 3's have the 4680s, and only a couple of the Model Ys do. Unfortunately, production of the 4680s seems to be a bit delayed.

Updated sheet. Added @TheWhiteEGG , updated some info and EDD updates. I keep checking to see if I have a hidden VIN, (Ctrl+U, then search for 5YJ) but no dice so far.

Obviously using the browser and going to the order status?

I am in need of a liftgate adjustment, but I am worried they will break something else. Looking at the shop manuals, it looks like the interior panels in the back of the car and the panels inside the liftgate need to be remove to get to the hinge bolts. It's much more involved than an adjustments to the frunk.
Did you have any negative side affects from the adjustment? Any creaks or rattles, any interior panels not aligned correctly afterwards, etc?
Ok, decided to change my order from the steering wheel to the yoke. Called Tesla for 2 days. Waited on the phone for 30 minutes each time. Their call-back feature wasn’t working. Texted back to Tesla to the number that confirmed my order. 40 hours later, I receive a text saying I could edit my order on the app, but gave no instructions. Searched and searched and couldn’t figure it out. Googled it, and all the advice refers to an “edit order” link that does not exist on the web page, nor on the app. As I have previously mentioned, I had a Y and had a good experience with it, but now, I have to ask myself “do I want to beg a company to take my $100,000?” Anyway, does anyone know how I can change/edit my order to the yoke?
@KingPaul You can either use your app, swipe to the page with your reserved car, and click "MANAGE" to log into the reservation, or log on to tesla.com and access the reservation. Once there, scroll to the bottom you should see an ability to EDIT DESIGN. You may see a warning about extra fees or delivery delays, but you can likely ignore them.
Maybe your order has been sent to the factory then?
This is what I still see in mine.... FWIW.
