Jeez, those hinges and cupholders look sooooo wonderful...I have so much mofo'ing FOMO.

Elon, like many other guys, just can’t help but gravitate toward the crazy ladies.

Yea, crazy ladies with new headlights!

Ok guys, I'm seeing some confusion here. Does anyone in this thread actually believe that the lights are heavier?
If so, no problem, but know that all of that was a complete joke. The lights are likely actually lighter, as they may be less complex.

Heavier lights is no laughing matter...

Uhh last I checked you got downvotes by everyone in that thread then complained to the mods because your feelings got hurt

Surprise surprise he disliked it again. I've been disliked into oblivion guys! Noooo somebody save me.

Done with this clown

I'm pretty sure dislikes are not permitted in this thread. Nothing but love and headlights with recent weight gain here.

Wow this was my 1000th post.

As I'm getting closer to my EDD I texted a query to Tesla asking for build date and confirmation of the new lights today.

My assigned vin is 4727xx EDD March 16 - 20 in Dallas.

Their answer was terrible. "We can confirm the vehicle was built in February 2022".

Absent asking again to the same text, might I have any better luck going to my local gallery store and asking? Can they look it up?

If you have a VIN assigned they can tell you exactly the date and time your car was "born".

Got it, thanks so much for the info. One last question - is there any way to see the counter somewhere or is there a way to ‘break out of it’?

Welcome to the party. Sit down it may take a while. Or you may be in the next batch of release from factory hold (if such batched release exist)

Wow this was my 1000th post.

Ah dang, I'm getting close to 1000...now I have even more FOMO.

I predict by page 4269 on this thread that:

Hinges will be confirmed...or not.

And we will still be waiting for Carioke..

Heavier lights is no laughing matter...

Someone needs to have the refresh and the refresh-refresh side by side at the dragstrip and see if the fatty lights make any difference in the quarter mile.

"Fatty lights"

LMFAO!

And I'll be at my 4269th post relatively soon!

I hear the new lights need more blinker fluid, is it true?

It would not be scientific since the new hinges and cupholders would have an effect as well.

 

[Ormond]

I deserve new hinges, do I not?

OMG, @uthatcher is becoming totally unhinged!

OMG, @uthatcher is becoming totally unhinged!

The FOMO is real. I mean did you really, really look at those hinges? Like REALLY look? My entire existence is now in the fringe of those hinges.

Woke up with a VIN for my Blue/White LR - 474XXX. So excited!

My delivery appointment is set for Mar 13, Sunday. But since DCU is closed over the weekend, I can't get my loan check delivered until Tuesday
Does anyone know if Tesla will delay the appointment for a few days or is there any other alternative like switching to Tesla financing? Any suggestions will be helpful.

I am working on my 3rd on topic post...

 

[PhilipRs]

Awesome! Yeah a visit would be good I think.

Ok, an update from the store.

William was friendly and helpful, but struggled a bit looking for the gate date and headlight code. He did say the birthdate was March 3 though, positively. That date seems to be right when I released the hold and got notified of the VIN. As of today, the EDD is still the same. 3/16 - 3/20.

So far, this is what I had:

Plaid ordered Jan 8.
Received a VIN Jan 26.
Placed my order on up to 30 day hold Jan 30. (Tesla said "up to 30 days").
Didn't hear from Tesla before I released the hold on March 3.
The next day a VIN was assigned 4727xx EDD March 16 - 20 in Dallas.
They withdrew the money for the car overnight 3/11.

I note it's freezing and windy here today, so I didn't expect to see many people out. It's late for this weather in the area. The store was staffed by 4 people, all of whom were with customers. No cars on the floor, which is like it's been over a year now.
