I spoke to my SP in Tucson yesterday. These numbers are not sequential; they are codes. The first digit is model (S=1). The second digit is steering (my understanding is that yoke=1). The third and fourth digits are for the boosters and interior respectively, but I don't know the precise designations.

My service advisor related a story to me about how the backs of seats had marks and indentations on them. He placed a call to Fremont and was put through to an engineer who checked the assembly line. There was a machine that was causing these issues with the seats. The engineer was able to stop the assembly line and correct the issue. My service advisor had previously worked for BMW and said it would have taken several months for BMW to address the issue, let alone correct it, whereas Tesla corrected the issue with one phone call, from a service advisor in San Diego.
My experience is that this is luck of the draw with your rep at any given dealer. Even within the same shop, you could have different experiences depending on who you get.
My Lexus guy was phenomenal. I just shot a text to his cell anytime I needed anything at all. He'd arrange everything on his end & just tell me what time to meet him at the front door. I definitely overpaid on more than one instance, but the convenience was significant & I valued it. And that's on top of a car that was rock-solid. Most of my requests were routine maintenance with a loaner, but he was also a huge resource for stuff that was technically out-of-scope for him (recommendations for door dings, wheels/rims, body shops after no-fault accident, etc).
And Tesla seems to be in the same position there also. We got lucky & my Tesla SA has been great all around. But I see all the threads/comments from others who have different SA experiences.
Thank you gentlemen for all the input. I will however remain obsessively ensconced here, for this forum is certainly one of the highlights of my day.Your status page will update. The system sends email notifications if you had outstanding action items and sometimes if there is a status change. Finally, you SA will reach out to coordinate pre-delivery actions. The reality is that you can get on with your life and wait for your SA to contact you, you don't have to be obsessively parked here like the rest of us.

My solution was to sell my 2016.5 Model S P90DL last month in anticipation of a March delivery. I'm now stuck without a car while I wait for a vehicle that appears to not be in production.
I don't think that's accurate on the first two digits, unless my Y is coming with a yoke. As well, my Cybertruck, Y, S, and X reservations all start with "11". And yes, I've been delaying my Y delivery for six months and may never take it.
Why is "Pay as you go supercharging" an order detail? Is that a feature? It's not like they offered me free supercharging or no charging.
It's almost like they want to make sure I know that the crack they gave me for free on my 2016 X, which I used routinely, is no longer free now that I am addicted. Like my premium connectivity. Tesla giveth (sometimes) and they taketh away.
And yes, I am so desperate for info now that I even check and recheck my config details, read the lemon law disclosure, check the pricing, etc.

I get things like SW-enable features will always be a work in progress, but I would hope certain things like the physical aspects of the car

I agree. when they begin deliveries , we will know. There are many You Tube content creators, people on Twitter and FB who will announce when they get an MS. A good resource for Tesla news is Teslarati.com.
It's probably how they track entitlement for a given car. While free supercharging not a standard everyday option, it does, on occasion, become available and their order entry system needs a way to track that and then pass that to the back-end entitlement systems.
In the old-school auto manufacturing world, that would be true, but Tesla is breaking the mold to get improvements into production much faster than that, both s'ware and h'ware. It never ceases to amaze me how Munro can talk about a weakness one month and Tesla gets a fix into production in some ungodly short amount of time. That rocks. There's a price, but just because something has a high price does not mean it isn't worth it.

Now I answer every phone call without knowing who is calling!
Make sure your auto insurance information is up-to-date on your account!

These cars cannot fart (literally) without someone making a youtube video...
Sure, they are constantly iterating on the implementation of the design, but it's not like they are going to decide to make the car a half inch wider on the fly.
True, after all, except, after all, for the way Simon can't resist using the phrase "after all" at least once per article LOL.

The Virtual Orientation invite went out to S and X orders in error. We will be extending an invite to our future S and X owners when we have a refreshed model ready for delivery. You are welcome to attend this orientation, however it will only cover our Models 3 and Y. Stay tuned for future orientation invites on our refresh S and X Models.
