Picking up my car today. Between getting the new MCU and these latest autopilot improvements I’m beyond excited. Here are some pics my OA sent me last night.

I got my car back yesterday.
I went to the URL that he mentions in the video:
whatsmyua.info
It shows my architecture is "amd64" which means I have the new processor. Very cool!

In the video posted earlier in this thread, he reviews a Tesla built in the last week of February that has the upgraded MCU. I don't think he every says the exact date, but I got the impression that it was before 2/28.
Let me know how it goes.
Did you leave it with Tesla to get fixed? Or take it back the next day?
I accepted delivery and drove it away. I'm expecting to be contacted in the next few weeks to schedule a service appointment.
Mine didn't have any paint chips, just scratches. So many scratches.
It’s all over the place. It seems those who have a 2/22 build start don’t have it, I think someone on here with a 2/28 start date said they don’t have it either. So basically it’s totally random prior to March builds. After that point you for sure have it.
I got my car back after doing the Xpel Unlimited wrap. Pictures attached...
For anyone wondering how a wrap looks, see the last pic (ends in 927) which shows the wrapped rear right passenger door next to the unwrapped back right fender area for a side-by-side comparison. There is a slight difference in how much it shines. I wouldn't say it's a huge difference though. Then remind yourself that the wrap is not about the looks. It's about protecting your paint from dings and scrapes and paint chips and gunk, as well as making it easier to wash.
The wrap covers the hood, front quarters, all 4 doors, and the first 18 inches or so of the A columns. It does not cover the front bumper. After Tesla replaces the front bumper (scratches at delivery) I will have it wrapped too.
The shop is Pro Tint in SLC. The guy that did it is Aaron. He was fantastic to work with. When I first called him he explained all about my options and answered all my questions. And I ask a lot of questions. I could tell he knows what he's talking about. When I picked it up he walked me through how to care for it, wash the car, etc. He explained how small bubbles can form as it cures and how they fix them. He said at least 3 times "If there are any problems or you're not happy with anything, call me and I'll take care of it." I feel well taken care of. I felt the price was more than fair based on the numbers I've seen in other threads. I would hands down recommend Pro Tint.
The other place in SLC that does the Xpel Unlimited is Luxe Auto Spa. I heard good things about them too. Probably couldn't go wrong with either place. Luxe was more expensive, particularly on the full body wrap, and had a longer wait time.

That's good info.
I feel very fortunate to have it. Makes the long wait very worthwhile.
After I got my car back from the wrap place yesterday I drove it home and parked in the garage. I had promised to take my kids sledding so I couldn't drive or figure out the software. Didn't get home until late.
Yes my brand new S spend its first 16 hours alone, untouched, in a dark garage. I'm a great dad to my kids but not to my Tesla!
This morning I finally had a chance to play with the software and settings, plug in the charger for the first time, replace the factory mats with the 3D Maxpider floor mats, and take it for quick drive. It was an awesome morning.
I took my 9 year old and 7 year old. Before I let them get in I explained that you don't get to be in a new car very many times in your life and how to care for it and treat it with respect. They (mostly) got the message.
My 7 year old daughter's first impression when she climbed in and looked at the glass roof: "It's like we're in a dance competition!" She must have been in dance studios with cool reflective surfaces. They both loved looking up at the dark clouds. 7yo loved the acceleration. 9yo did not. He wanted to get out before I hit the accelerator hard. He loved looking at the GPS map.
I get motion sick really easily. I have a Tesla acceleration hangover as I type this.
So fun!

You didn't get the roof done?
I heard from a lot of members that getting it done on the roof saved a few from cracked / chipped glass.
My car was supposed to get delivered today in Fremont, DA calls me yesterday at 5pm that they are delayed again! At some point they have to get a hold of their timing and schedules and not give less than 12 hours heads up that their schedules are changing. I am highly confident Boeing makes 787s faster than Tesla making a Model S.
I didn't know you could do the roof. Can you do the roof?
My windshield will be replaced. It was delivered with a few deep scratches/scuffs. I didn't do the front bumper, windshield, or back bumper because they will all be replaced.
lol re Boeing.
Yes the late notice is frustrating after you've rearranged your schedule for the delivery and then they change it. Ugh. I hope you get it soon.
