I got my VIN assigned today and its a 2023 
. Placed the order on 10/22.
I'm trying to figure out the factory gate date. The method posted on this thread works on inventory but doesn't work on my custom order. Any here able to figure that out yet?
Also it asks me to review and accept terms which basically say car isn't equipped with USS and relies solely on cameras. Some features like summon etc. including FSD might not work.
How long can I hold off to accept these terms? I want to delay the delivery until mid December if possible.

I can see the difference.
Where is this service center located? Did you try going to a different one if you're in a big city?

Bummer. I think you can reject one car without them canceling your order. Maybe get another shot at getting a '24? You could say you'll be out of the country for the next few weeks and can't accept delivery of this car. Please reassign to someone else.I got my VIN assigned today and its a 2023

I'm really curious about what Tesla are going to do with this whole USS removal situation. I was watching one of Out of Spec's reviews comparing camera sensors between the HW3 and HW4 models, and what's interesting is on the top of the windshield where the 3 camera array is, the new Model Y was missing the middle camera.
Purely speculative, but I wonder if that's a blank to retrofit a LIDAR module or some other spectrum camera to augment Tesla vision. It really makes no sense to me why you would remove an array of sensors that are not impeded by visual interference (rain, mud, snow, sunlight etc.) and depend solely on something that requires line of sight.

My EDD updated tonight. It was showing 11/17-12/22 for the last few weeks. Now it shows 11/24-12/15. No VIN yet.Hi, All! I ordered an Ultra Red Model S Long Range on Thursday (October 19). Very excited!

Elon's foolish pride. Doubling down on vision for everything.
Ultrasound wasn't used for self driving, only parking. The previous radar module wasn't very good. But lidar plus new radar would be a big improvement.
I think the blank is just because they didn't feel like redesigning the trim when moving to a two camera design. The HW3 and earlier had a narrow angle, "standard", and wide angle array. HW4 just has a standard and wide angle. I guess they felt the resolution increase was sufficient to no longer require a dedicated narrow angle camera to resolve details.
In fairness, the quality difference is actually pretty tremendous
I am hoping that tesla eventually uses the new highres radar module to do some of what the USS sensors used to do. But I don't have any hopes for this company actually improving any of the automation features.
They will once competition starts eating their lunch, so far they didn't need to, but I think those days will soon be over.
Sometimes you have to go backwards a bit to go forwards. Tesla are effectively changing the wheels on the bus as they're driving down the road (the DevOps model of motor vehicle manufacturing/development), so sometimes the changes seem counter-intuitive. They're also pretty reserved when it comes to providing information, whether that be because they're clueless or maybe because they are in the middle of some of those backwards steps. It's very annoying to all of us but at the same time, what other auto manufacturers are constantly evolving their current models on the street.
I'm curious about that, too. I'm taking delivery in California on Sunday of my SLR, ordered 10/20.I got my VIN assigned today and its a 2023

sept 28 order date but I changed my color. I have a VIN and delivery date now of nov 20-27th. White on White LR 19in wheels with steering wheel.
Are you counting on free Supercharging transfer? If not and you really want a 2024, might just have to lose the $250 deposit and start over. But a 2024 that's identical to a 2023 is really of no benefit. I would wait until the camera comes out if that's what you really want.I got my VIN assigned today and its a 2023

It used that once a VIN was assigned you could view source data on the image on your order page.
I'm guessing if it changed it's because everyone would be cancelling their order to get a 24 Car.
What we’re talking about is the manufacturing date, not the model year. The model year is easy to tell from the VIN, so everyone still knows what they’re getting 23’s now.

Yes, good point. I guess if the date code is not "P", then it's not a '23.
Seems everyone is getting '23's as of today. But the mfg date is still useful to determine if the car was a reject.
Not everyone knows the date code for the '24. My guess is "R"
It's possible by making the date code difficult to find, Tesla is trying to avoid a lot of cancellations on the '23 cars.
I’m thinking around Feb March. That’s when the other upgrades happened. Thinner bezel screen.
You might get the VIN in a week. At least that's what happened in my case.
