My MS delivery date has been fluctuating between March and June of 2022, but just got a call that one was available tomorrow exactly as I spec'd. Awesome, I think?

Got the call, scheduled pick up for tomorrow at 1:30pm. Guess my bugging them actually paid off. Store leader called me and said they had a matching vehicle in the area and knew I was eager to get into one!

Did they say that they will go over the car for issues beforehand?
I'm picking up at delivery center, so I'll do an inspection at that time. It's an NF463 vin so I'm not expecting anything crazy issue wise.
I had received a call from tesla last week telling me I was matched to a car in transit. Then next morning booted out to feb/Mar and I made a stink about it and was put in touch with the store leader and I expressed my frustrations with the process. Flash forward to an hour ago she calls me directly informing me she saw an exact match in system and could assign vin to me. She was talking with someone internally on teams so makes me think she put out in a group chat after our car if they have a red/cream to let her know. Just so happened they had one at another delivery center in Chicagoland and assigned me the vin.
Apparently there are hundreds of model ses (s's?, $'s?, Ese?) available.
I popped by the lot near me. They had 7 wrapped in transport *sugar* still. Every one of them had some pretty bad quality issues. Really bad paint, the window trim was all ****ed up. Various trim and panel misalignments. Two had some bad damage to the taillights. There was a Tesla worker there and I showed her all the stuff on a few of them and she said she would let management know.

Can you all tell me, is VIN MF4531 one of the old cars sitting at Fremont for a while just getting released now? I'm able to get paired to this one, VIN Decoder suggests it's a 2021 vs 2022. Overall, my account says Jan/Feb delivery - wondering if I should actually just wait it out a little longer for a solid 2022.
UPDATED, PLS DISREGARD. Those sneaky peeps are trying to upsell me to a PLAID vs the S. Their email read which was vague to me.
"We have the opportunity to get you into a car matching your configuration before the NEW YEAR! (URL Link Removed) This one is ready to go in Minneapolis- you don't have to place a new order just text YES! and we will match your order to this vehicle. Full self driving can be added or removed. Go Plaid and there is not more waiting for your Tesla."

No, it was just the text. I don't think any discount would interest me since I'm locked in on the lower S price from April. Are there rumbles that they would potentially offer a very compelling price?
@Fntstc_Mr_Fox And that VIN is old stock and a 2021. If you see an M in the 10th digit it’s 2021 an N would be 2022.
Just my baseless fantasies. There are 6 Plaid’s sitting herein the lot in Richmond, VA, one of which is basically the plaid version of my LR spec. Think I would have to get a 20-25k discount to even be tempted.
I've only read about discounts for damaged vehicles. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask? I'd be interested in the answer, purely for science - I don't think I'd take the Plaid either if I were in your position.
Plaid inventory search, 169 results right now: Tesla inventory in US
LR inventory search, 3 results right now: Tesla inventory in US
MF453 is a September or October build. So it’s likely gone through some stuff to get ready for delivery.
At the valet stand on 5th avenue in Naples, FL. Car pulls up it’s a Tesla Model S convertible! Valet says to the guy I have never seen a Tesla convertbile and the guy said yeah it was custom made. Only in Naples!
You can’t be serious that you have no pictures for us!
