Was it a Red plaid with cream interior? The one I rejected was sent to Charlotte from Raleigh and it dropped off the inventory site sometime last week.Build date first week of October then shipped to NC. I’m guessing it’s unlikely it’s someone else’s reject.
We’re not off to a roaring start as apparently they noticed it had a flat tire. Waiting for them to bring it out of service for me to inspect it … let’s see how this goes.

I hope so. I haven't felt the 40-50 mph vibration on three loaners, so it may not be that common. But all three '22+ loaners had the 80 mph vibration. Beats me.

It doesn't appear for some miles for some owners. For my 2021 it was 1400 miles, for my 2022 it was off the lot. There's a reason this TSB exists...
So I have some very unsettling news, shocking even!!!
The car is fine and everything was super uneventful.
They brought it out, I was there with my list, pen and disappointment at the ready ... and she looked great. Went through the paint, wheels, panel gaps, glass, windows, frunk/trunk, glove box, center tunnel cubbies, and it was all good. Pushed around some interior and exterior trim pieces and nothing fell out. After fifteen minutes I just gave up on the process and just accepted that the car was overall as good as one would expect and if I missed something I'll figure it out as it comes ... basically like any other car.
Drive home was also mostly uneventful, although I did only have 11 miles left of range as I pulled into the garage. I didn't push her cause I knew range was touch and go and I didn't want to stop to recharge. She also yelled at me and took autosteer away at some point, so rather than pull over and restart I just disabled it and used regular adaptive cruise control which I prefer anyway because it doesn't turn itself off when changing lanes. The only glitch I noticed was the big screen went black at some point, but it came back on after a couple of seconds without me doing anything. It also looks like I made it without any debris pelting the front of the car so I think I'm good for PPF and tint next week.
No pretty pics till then ... just this one to show that she's home safe, and yes the plate is her name.

Ordered 10/20 as well. S Plaid, Stealth Grey, Black Interior, 19" wheels. My delivery still says "Nov 5 - 26"
Weird to think they would be low on "Ultra Red Paint" for the delay?
Yeah who knows. Probably just the timing of my order in combination with whatever batch they were working on. My understanding is Tesla tends to build each color in batches.
It’s now showing me a specific window of 11/11 - 12/16. Hopefully it won’t be snowing the day I take delivery..
That makes sense! By the way, great choice on color. I love the new Ultra Red, but I'm not the type of person that can pull off that color. I'm boring.
Congrats and great color choice. As do most, going in with a massive list and commitment to find sadness often leads to tossing the list and just enjoying the experience. Making a Guess but typically the cameras take 15-20 minutes of multilane driving (35 plus) to calibrate the cameras. After which it usually reboots the configuration to apply the calibration. At least that’s what mine did on delivery day. Probably also the reason for AP jail as it wasn’t dialed in yet. Congrats and thanks for sharing the majority experience.So I have some very unsettling news, shocking even!!!

My delivery window was just updated from Nov - Dec, to Nov 7 - Dec 12. Edit: ordered Oct 22
Model S LR, Stealth Grey, black interior, steering wheel, 19". I'm in the Bay Area so I assume we need to go to Fremont for to pick it up. That's where we went in 2015.
How accurate do you think these delivery windows are?

So it seems they are still making 2023, I just got VIN assigned after waiting for 5 weeks, its 2023 VIN. I am not going to take it at this point since resale difference down the road is about $10k between years so makes no sense to throw away $10k on top of depreciation you take as soon as you drive it off the lot. I'll put it on hold and then hopefully catch 2024
That's interesting. Do they allow you to do that?
I read somewhere that if you reject delivery without any significant defects in a new vehicle you aren't allowed to place a new order until a year for the same model.
I could be 100% wrong but please double check with someone if you still want a car in the next few months.

Is it model year 2023 or 2024. The '24 should start showing up in November.
