MF454 vin. No buzz. However the lower left coating is rubbing off from abrasion when entering and exiting the car...not going to ask for replacement for fear of attracting a buzzy yoke.

I have no buzz in my new MXP.
However the yoke material is much different than what I had in my MSP. So I’m hoping the surface doesn’t rub off as you’ve mentioned and I’ve seen other pics of.

I'm pretty sure it is there, just hard to hear on some cars. I've heard it on every car I've sat in, well, which is only 3 at this point. I'm tempted to just unplug the haptic feedback motor to make it stop. Depends whether I think the haptic feedback is useful... It would also be nice to secure the motor better, because mine is now vibrating when the car goes over bumps.

Well, hasn't been fixed then in the latest builds. Bummer. How about your console cubby light? Does it turn off when you open the lid and turn on when you close the lid? And is the passenger door really hard to close with the window up?Thanks, I'll give it a shot when I get home
Yeah '22 plaid. VIN NF476xxx. They said the build date was April 10th I think. Ordered March and got lucky by finding this in inventory 2 weeks ago. Maybe it was rejected because of the trunk

M3LR 2018, MYLR 2021, MSLR 2022 & CT on order!
I'm hoping they run out of yoke steering before my car is built
I haven’t experienced any of those issues in my MSLR NF475 picked up March 30.

That's good. I'm still trying to get those issues fixed on my car. I'm going on 5 service visits now, 6 months later. They can't fix them.
Here you go. Suspension on low in these pics.

Might take a day or so
Keep us posted... some who ordered in February (e.g. me) have Sept-Oct, so I'd be ready for that date range to get pushed back a little bit
Okay, I thought I’d share what I’ve been seeing.
I ordered in early March (model S-LR).
initially it said June-august delivery.
within a week or two that changed to july-September.
Yesterday it changed to May 3-20 and within an hour, I received a call/voicemail, text, and email urging me to complete my online account stuff.
i didn’t check here prior, so I did enter trade-in info already (2013 S85 with around 52,000 miles).
So now we wait…

Lucky!
This seems to support that current owners get priority delivery, though of course doesn't prove it.
What specs did you order?
In my practice if I take patients with better insurance first, I would be call unethical.
Stange how some people have waited over a year and many well over 6 months to see someone get matched almost immediately.
Oh, you are in California, Want FSD, getting a Plaid, etc. Step right this way. Next we will be seeing Disney's "fast pass" service.
No hate for the person with early match but have to seriously question Tesla's order system.

Agreed. There's some very strange logic happening in the order system. There are only build 60 combinations (not including FSD), so I'm willing to bet that there's someone ahead of @Jeffsstuff that has the same order combination. That's also assuming that Tesla has no control whatsoever on what they produce (e.g. rolling a dice and seeing what comes out the end of the factory, and then trying to match), which we know is not the case.
There are long lead-time supply chains, especially for the interior parts, the wheels, and the motors (Plaid/LR) that they can presumably control when they order from their suppliers / internal production. I suspect that's why there are so few combinations, especially when compared to direct competition like Porsche, BMW, even Rivian. Yet the fact that they're still unable to sequence deliveries is mindblowing.
@Jeffsstuff is in SoCal, so we can't even attribute this early delivery to the fact that they're local...
There are either factors I'm not accounting for (priority for legacy customers, regional quotas, unaccounted profitability variances even within trims, prioritization of higher-priced orders), OR... they use a random number generator (or this famed monkey) to allocate vehicles. Occam's Razor would suggest that the latter hypothesis is the most likely.
For context, I was an engineer in that very factory when it was Toyota/NUMMI, so I have a good sense of how vehicle production works...
Ah just updated today… and pushed to Dec 1 - Jan 26
Let’s hope the date gets pushed back up…
My red plaid is still June 22 -> Aug 3rd =( Also ordered in March 14th, but I did a color change on March 27th.
They do not. We proved that during the long, initial roll out.

I believe that. But there are definitely some odd sequencing quirks, do you not agree?
At least if it were loyalty it would make sense and I would understand…
