I just noticed that this morning too.. I picked up last night. Wonder if this is new to the new 2023 (which we should probably call them 2023.2
Sorry, but that is not new. Original deliveries have the same. Including my 11/21 delivery.

2 of 3 EV's - Defect Free!
Confirmed on my 5/22. Glass one piece from IC. He made me look!
Sounds like the only things new this month that are not upgradable/ changeable on the old cars are trim bar and silver letters, clearer roof glass and better HD cameras, but for less than I paid 18 months ago.
Not including AP4 or HW 4 because all it means now is reduced ability to auto park and summon.
Fingers crossed the above works out, but I think this was a good time to buy.
Expect prices to rise next quarter.
I’m having the same exact problem; it auto puts in your phone “key” as a profile; but every time i get in, it revets to something else. Thought it was just me (i read the manual cover to cover but i guess i will have to revisit.
I pointed this out also on my new S from 2 days ago. Again, my sales associate online told me this is planned for future use; apparently it is a “screen” and will have information that will show up (or maybe disco colors!?) in the near future. Was interested to hear if pre refresh had this. I had to peel back a screen protector that was on this at delivery that was left on.

Try regular old school windex and newspaper, this got it all off mine (assuming it's not a defect in the glass) but what you're describing is what I had when I first got my S.
Thx,
I've read a ton of posts here and I believe it to be the "scum" clear coat overspray. I've done the razor method in one area and certainly cleaned some of it up. Ordered glass polish to get it all off. Standard water spot / eraser / vinegar tricks do not work at all.

Picked up this morning in Palm Springs,CA. , Now at PPF and window tint shop. Couldn't find any problems. Yes it has all the new stuff, HW4, Roof glass, tilting screen, new cameras, matrix headlights and even (rear Fog?) lights. Asked about the 10,000 mile super charge credit- they said it will show up in the Loot Box in April.

I'll post a Vimeo 4K video of picking it up, as soon as it uploads. It's really hard with the reflection to get much of a picture of the roof glass, but yes it's about 5 times lighter.

Delivery Video of MSP, Ultra Red in Palm Springs, CA.
Picked up my 23 White/Blk Plaid (March 11 build) yesterday. Traded in my 21 Plaid (Oct 21 build) with 12K miles. Trade it was Red which I did not order at the time but became available in Dec 21. Trade in value was $79K which was obviously a massive hit but I did not see any upside in the future with it being essentially two refreshes behind. Round wheel this time. Yoke was neat at first but not ideal from all driving situations. My impressions of the new car:
- I rejected the first VIN because it arrived with a flat right rear tire and wheel damage. Alignment was also off so clearly took a hit to the rear suspension. Took two weeks to get a replacement. Kudos to the Nashville service team. They locked my trade in value which went beyond the 30 days. Communication was great all through the process.
- Overall build quality is quite good. Far better than my 21 which had to have the front bumper replaced and still was not right.
- Round wheel is better than the yoke but is larger compared to the model 3 wheel. 14.75" vs 14". Also not as thick from a grip standpoint.
- Has the new roof glass, much brighter than my 21.
- Love the tilting screen
- Headlights are massive difference. This alone might have been worth the trade. The non matrix lights on the 21 were a joke.
- Red calipers are nice but brakes are the same so who really cares. Brakes feel the same cruising around town. Haven't had a chance to test out the "high temp" brake pads..lol.
- Tail light alignment is good.
- Overall paint quality is typical Tesla. A few rough spots but I will be wrapping the entire car in Matte Xpel next week.
- Will miss USS but as stated in a previous post, we have a 23 Model Y non USS that got the Vision update. Once the S gets the update it will be sufficient for my purposes since I don't park in tight spots very often.
- Removed the 19 in wheels and put my 20 in Forgestars on. Looks good on the White IMO. I have not installed the lowering links yet. Also, blacked out the front Tesla "T."
Was that an indicator on the camera.. is it a new feature.. can’t recall if I have observed that before ..
I love how there was no one there in the showroom. I picked up mine on Thursday in Dublin and it was beyond a zoo!!! What a nice video.
BUT, IS IT FASTER AND DOES IT LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT? SEEMS THERE IS A MAJOR FOMO FACTOR HERE. OF COURSE IF I COULD AFFORD IT I WOULD PROBABLY GRAB A NEW REFRESH.5 TOO. BUT THEN THERE’S REFRESH.6. THANK GOD I DON’T HAVE A 5 CAR GARAGE. ENJOY YOUR NEWEST BEAUTY.

Sorry, not sure what you’re referring to exactly? Indicator? If you mean turn signal LED, then yes it is an LED turn signal.
omg the colour is absolutely gorgeous!!! i might go red instead for my upcoming MX's paint job.
No yelling in here....not about the looks in my book but about the experience. Experience of the new car is worth the swap.
I've purchased a few Teslas over the last 18 months. Have figured out that the car arrives a day or two before the scheduled delivery date. I'll take a stroll down to the center to check the car out when I expect it to arrive. In this case, I spotted the car two days before my delivery date. Had a look and noted the flat tire and wheel damage. Proactively texted order support and noted this was an issue. They committed to fixing it. After some back and forth it turned out that alignment was off and they tried to blame tire issues. I called BS and said tires don't cause alignment issues and rejected. They were totally cool about it and had a new VIN for me before I left my original delivery appt. No issue for me. *sugar* happens. Always question and if your gut says bail, then bail.
