No one said it would be announced in March. They said new features were being rolled out on the production line starting 3/1. We all know Tesla doesn’t announce anything until after the fact for minor updates like these. I’m not holding my breath either, but just wanted to clarify the sources that were shared. We’ll find out soon enough as people take delivery over the next few weeks for orders placed in March (or even those who ordered earlier but had their EDD pushed out).

The “reliable” source cited on internet news and social media did claim that Tesla would make an “announcement” on March 1. Doesn’t mean the upgrades won’t happen but just saying…

How dare you? I will not stand by as you disparage the guy that knows a guy whose cousin works at McDonald’s near the Fremont factory. He’d never give us incorrect info!
Actually they said Tesla would be making the announcement the following day.
False. See screenshot. No mention of announcement. This is the original outlet that first mentioned it. Can’t speak to other outlets….

They deleted that part when it didn’t happen. I saw the original post. I believe it was in one of their replies.
Was also a story on notateslaapp citing “trusted sources.” After the announcement didn’t happen, they also deleted that part and revised the article to say “early March.”

I should start a leak site with random rumors and delete the ones that are wrong for a 100% accurate site
Bottom line is, multiple “reliable” and “trusted” sources have been claiming every few weeks that these upgrades are “imminent”…since last October. I don’t doubt that one or both upgrades may happen…eventually. But Tesla is on its own timeline, which is subject to change…without notice.
We had a pretty flawless delivery in December. Since then, only one minor thing has shown up: our "frunk access cover" or whatever you call that thing - has one missing clip (the white inserts), and one of the two guideposts was flattened, and immediately broke off after touching it. These aren't huge deals, and I suspect that I could probably get a white clip just by showing up at an SC and asking for one. Not sure whether I should do anything about the broken-off guidepost. It doesn't seem to have a hugely important function. For folks picking up new cars, I'd say pulling off this cover and checking its integrity isn't a crazy addition to the already long checklists. (now that I think of it, it's probably already on one of them)

Ah damn. So front bumper camera probably won’t happen for S X. Might as well just order an S now and don’t get my hopes up.

It’s funny but there is an overwhelming incentive for these sites to anticipate the anticipation of rumors to drive clicks. There is zero penalty because you can always claim an anonymous “reliable source” and then blame “Tesla time” when it doesn’t pan out. And then you just try again a few weeks later. Eventually, you will be right!

Our car is in for service and I had my sister in law check the vehicles that looked like they were ready for PDI none of them had a bumper camera.
It's a different story if you order and pick up though. That's when they start releasing new changes.Ah damn. So front bumper camera probably won’t happen for S X. Might as well just order an S now and don’t get my hopes up.
I notice that people that ordered months after me have been receiving their cars. The Tesla website also shows different configurations available, while so many are waiting for their orders.
This leads me to speculate that instead of fulfilling orders, Tesla is just randomly making different variations and shipping them to different areas of the country. It seems that when your particular configurations happens to get shipped to your area, then your order gets fulfilled. Any thoughts?

I do know, particularly in recent years, Tesla anticipates demand for various builds and then cranks them out in batches in order to maximize quarterly delivery #s. They don’t necessarily wait for people to order.

It might, it might not
Would you and @sorka reject delivery for that reason?
Is it a serious issue? Thinking of possibilities when i schedule mine.

Unless you’re trying for FSD/FUSC transfer or need a car right away, wouldn’t hurt to wait to see what the post-March 1 builds look like.Ah damn. So front bumper camera probably won’t happen for S X. Might as well just order an S now and don’t get my hopes up.
