There were a lot of cars that were assembled, but not completed as they were waiting for parts to finish them. I'm guessing you got one of those cars.

It would be nice if the owner's manual specifically called out what features are in FSD vs AP. It mentions FDS six times, each describing a feature that's available with the option but there's no summary table or feature breakdown. I wonder if it's intentionally vague to allow for features to be moved between the two levels of autonomous control.
I did a ton of launches in my 3. So many that I thought for sure I wasn't going to get the Beta even though I had a 100 score.
I did get the Beta, so apparently even though Tesla has been watching acceleration, they aren't holding it against us, as long as you meet the parameters that they've deemed important enough to matter.

That car looks EXACTLY like mine!
Except for the spoiler.
And the perforated bolsters.
Contrasting piping.
Third engine.
Plaid logo.
Oh, and someone backed into mine.
But other than that!
I'm really impressed that you've kept your sense of humor after everything you've gone through with your car.
I'd have lost what little cool I have long ago.
How are things going with your car? Any progress?

um, I'm reading that as a MF VIN. I'm also curious if it shows the VIN per se, or only if looking at the page source. I haven't checked my page source in months - why bother? My EDD date is listed as, "ha haha hahaha"Looks like first NF VIN confirmed
2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking
Seeing a VIN in the page source now 5YJSA1E59MF45XXXX delivery still at Oct 22-31 RN1143, MSM, white, 19s in ON, Canada Can you ask for the birth date of the car? Will answer this: 2021 VIN. I am hoping that this means the build is from Sept, otherwise, Tesla is not changing to a 2022 year...teslamotorsclub.com
What did you end up doing about your damages? The guy paying up, or are you filing a claim?

Believe me, this has been a major stress the past few weeks.
I have tried 3 times over the last two weeks to have the person who hit my car contact me. I've done so by reaching out to his business partner, twice by text and once by phone. He never contacted me, even though I was assured the info was passed along. So yesterday I went to the police station and filed the police report. This morning I contacted my insurance company and filed a claim. I am now researching small claims court to go after my deductible and depreciation value, if it comes to that.
To make matters worse, I am friends with the business partner. This happened on their business property. I gave the contact info of my friend to my insurance company, since I did not have contact info of the one who hit my car. My insurance company said if he is not cooperative with releasing the contact info of the man who did this, they will file against the business.
This is going to get very messy and ruin a few friendships. Such is life.
Well for what it's worth, the guy did hit your car. Offered to pay. Then disappeared. You were never at fault here and gave a lot of time to the other party to do what's right. At some point you have to move forward and the (possibly) ruined friendships are not on you.

@AnselmDante You didn't ruin the friendship, the "Richard" that is "hiding out in the open" did. Not sure it was much of a two-way friendship if they are behaving as you say. "Good Riddance," and light 'em up, I say!
you did everything appropriate...your conscience should be clear.

I'm not friends with the guy that hit me. I'm friends with his business partner. What makes it awkward is I volunteer to help my friends business. Now I will avoid the place until this is all settled, and then it will be weird. It's kind of like if your best friends roommate is a jerk. You don't want to spend too much time at your friends place.

I really, really, despise someone today.
Sorry about that...but there is always, "Tommorow"
F it. I’m going to take that trip. I just spoke to my advisor about both cars on order. He said the Plaid date will be later than what my EDD states and he can’t see that far ahead for our MYP (currently mid-November).
He stated that not accepting my VIN will not put me to back of line. Rather, I ‘should’ get next car that matches my config/region.
Does not know when N VINs will start.
And they can hold for 3 days. More if no one else has that config on order at that delivery site. I swear, I will shoot you.

It stinks but drag goes up by the square of the change in speed. Drafting semis helps as does tooling along with a large group of cars which, collectively, are moving the associated mass of air down the highway with them. The semi thing is tough as they tend to kick up a lot of crap which dings the paint and, if it is a tire tread, can do significant damage.

Update. Both cars appear to be on a car carrier and should be here on Friday. Delivery is looking good for Monday

Just saw this gorgeous MSM Plaid, 21” at the Lisle, Illinois service center. Wasn’t missing anything and fit and finish was spot on. This was a 7/2021 build. VIN MF437 and it’s available from a cancelled order.
I spent an hour checking it out. Closing the doors, trying out the Yoke and the new UI. Would love to buy it if it matched my configuration.

I don't know about all that. It is an accident, not intentional. Sure, he could have followed through on this, but is probably more stressed than you are. Just give it to your insurance as you did, and let your friend know that you need to collect your damages and move on. Just a formality. You are not asking for anything more than what you are due.
I was rear-ended on a freeway a few years back, but a young lady. The police happened to witness it. She was in tears. I walked up to her, asked if she had insurance, and when she said yes, I said "Don't worry. It was an accident, and that's exactly what insurance is for."
