What you want is a VIN. The date code (Q?) will indicate if it is 2024.
As soon as you get the VIN, use a decoder to get the build date and time, to ensure it is not a reject.
Or call your SA.

This is good to know. What would indicate that it was rejected? How recent should the build date and time be to confirm that the car is newly built?

If the car was already delivered to a store. If the car is in transit you are probably ok.

I think the VIN usually skip O and Q. I'm assuming the 24s will have R.
I'll check with the SA to get the build date details once I get the VIN.

It's been covered extensively on this TMC thread, and apologies in advance as my recall is lacking, but basically right click on the image on your order page or inventory image and you will be able to view source data. There is a huge string, but you can download and search for "factorygated"
I'll give better info later.

Anyone know what happens if you don't fill out the registration information after submitting an order? I've been hesitating to do anything to move the order along after submitting it last Friday. I want to delay as much as possible until the '24 VINs are out.

I was able to get it to work with an inventory car just now. You have to have an image in you order page and probably a VIN assigned for this to work
On PC laptop or desktop, right click image and select "View page source"
Then, control F or select "Find" from the pull down on the menu bar.
Search for factorygated
It will highlight the day/time it was built.
In this case the demo car is over six months old. Not a good deal as the warranty is reduced by 12%

Wouldn't a demo car get the warranty from your date of purchase, since it counts as a "new" car? Either way, I don't see large enough discounts to want to get a demo car.
That only works on inventory car. Does not work on the car ordered that is only showing under your account even when VIN is assigned.
Thanks a lot @aerodyne . I just tried another similar approach which also worked on the inventory car.
1. Open the existing inventory.
2. Click on View details of the desired car
3. Open the JS console by pressing F12 on a mac if you're using cchrome.
4. Search for FactoryGatedDate. It will be in the variable const dataJson.
Tip: If you see a lot of variables just copy the dataJson into a text file and search for FactoryGatedDate.

My downvote was for lack of exposition, not lack of accuracy. Love you, too.
Eventually they will say to complete the next step, or they will cancel your order. I think they give you one or two days. (At least that is what they used to do.)
Nope, Tesla starts the warranty on the date the car first goes in to service. Be that loaner, demo, or end owner service.

Agreed, discount not nearly enough.
You would think the warranty would be from to he date of purchase, in fact it used to.
But no longer for Tesla.
