My guess is a combination of deprioritizing lower priced order agreements, general ineptitude of the logistics department and rarity of your configuration. I think the latter is the least impactful though for those of us that ordered before they even reopened the line for 2024. We clearly had orders in their system before then to indicate demand and also be at the top of the list for when those configs were produced.

For the same configuration, higher price orders are prioritized afaiu.
So people who paid for color options will get their VINs first.
Source: I got assigned VIN twice and didn't want one, got it unassigned twice because i couldn't take delivery.
I probably wouldn’t. Mine isn’t as noticeable as Sorka’s because it’s stealth grey. That said, neither of us noticed it at inspection. Unless you KNOW, you will miss it at casual glance (or even at close inspection!)Would you and @sorka reject delivery for that reason?
How serious it is ? Thinking of possibilities when i schedule mine.
Having owned Teslas since 2012, I think you have to take a big picture view when inspecting. If you reject it, you might get something worse in other respects. I’ve had it go both ways. I once accepted a “perfect” MS, only for it to have other annoying and recurring issues that weren’t immediately noticeable or visible. My wife once accepted a botched MX (misaligned panels and panel gaps galore), which I would have rejected instantly. She didn’t care about the aesthetics. Fast forward almost 8 years, it’s the most reliable car we’ve ever owned and she loves it and refuses to let go of it.
With my new MSLR, aside from a couple panel mishaps, mine was undamaged, perfect paint, perfect interior. (Don’t underestimate the interior — that’s where you drive and experience the car.) Take a global, overall approach. Sometimes if you take a micro approach, you will see all sorts of things wrong with it, especially aesthetically. Step back and look at the car as a whole. If it still offends you, reject it. If not, enjoy!

Tesla never makes announcements, even if the "source familiar with the matter" says so. Tesla does say things during events like during CT Delivery Event, battery day and such. But Tesla never just makes an announcement.

Rumors from Teslascope and NotATeslaApp generated from unspecified comments from "sources familiar with the matter".

A few model xs delivered today with March build dates do not have the camera or led lights. X and s on the lot ready for PDI also do not have it.

Tesla will NEVER risk missing quarterly delivery #s to implement new, unannounced features. If they make any line changes (even minor ones), it’s almost certainly because they are already confident they will hit their #s (or during the early part of the quarter).
Would you and @sorka reject delivery for that reason?
Is it a serious issue? Thinking of possibilities when i schedule mine.
If I knew it was only the liftgate and not the car, I would not reject it for that, but it would be difficult for me to determine that at the delivery site.

Just responding to this, I’ve never stated that it would be March 1st, so don’t appreciate this being said. I also very rarely delete posts and notably not one that said such! In all public posts, I’ve been very clear to always state “Starting in March”. In a subsequent I was asked if it was starting tomorrow on January 29th, to which I replied “Correct”.
No exact date was ever provided to me and as such, been very careful to not say such.
Much of the posts I’ve seen in the other thread and throughout X stating “March 1st” have been from other accounts.
Fair enough, I stand corrected. The deletion (revision) was indeed from another source, not teslascope. My apologies.
Teslascope did, however, respond, “Correct!” when responding to “Starting? Tomorrow?” on February 29. The day after February 29 is March 1, so…

Totally understand thay confusion! This was what was implied. The intent was to say that the changes would be taking place in March. This similarly occurred with the initial transition to HW4 for the Model S and X. While reported early, the changes took place just two weeks later.

With my luck. I’ll probably pick up the car, and the next day, the Model S will have the front bumper camera. I couldn't care less about the ambient lighting.
