Just FYI based on china reports, if you have the new console, pop your hood, you will see a HUGE black rectangular plastic piece near the windshield wiper air vents. THAT is the HEPA filter. First look at Tesla Model Y’s HEPA filter for Bioweapon Defense Mode

For all of you wondering if your new MY has the HEPA filter. It will look like this: First look at Tesla Model Y’s HEPA filter for Bioweapon Defense Mode

Title: The details of Model Y ‘s HEPA filters, Two layers , the top layer is like the filter in Model 3 , the bottom layer is HEPA with plastic case.

One remark: "Yes, this is the way to do it. If you remove the coarse materials before pushing the air through the HEPA, it helps to extend its service life. <snip>"
We had problems with our S20 Ultras and S20+ phones on the original Model Y wireless chargers. We switched to Jeda and everything worked fine. Now that we have the new center console in our Model Y, we can confirm it works fine with the S20+ and S21 Ultra. Good thing, since the wireless charger is not removable like it was on the previous generation center console.
I am taking delivery of my MY on Thursday (ordered last Friday) which was a super fast turnaround compared to when I bought my M3. I called and talked to the operations person in charge of my delivery this morning and asked if my car was coming with all the new features like new center console, new headlights, etc. and she confirmed that it just rolled off the factory floor and was en route and according to Tesla should have all of the new features. I get nervous because it's not specifically called out in the standard features of the vehicle sheet that she has, but she confirmed that it was built 2/13/21. I have to fly to get the car because I am not in a home delivery area and would have to go the day before to make my pickup time on Thursday morning. Should I wait and delay pickup and ask them to confirm once it arrives? Anyone have any insight or dealt with this before?
I'll report back after Thursday. I talked to my delivery rep today to get my time scheduled for Thursday morning and she claims that my My was built on 2/13 and according to Tesla should come with all of the new hardware including center console, headlights, hepa filter, etc. I am a little cautiously optimistic given it doesn't call it out specifically on the car build sheet and I have to fly to take delivery but I'm hopeful. And hopefully I won't get stranded with a car that isn't as described by my rep.

I placed an order on Friday and received a VIN this morning (no delivery date yet). My vin is 125,2XX. I'm also waiting for the new features. What VIN did they give you? I'm in the same boat, I have to fly in to pick up and drive home. Closest service center is about 350 miles from me.

We bought the Tesmanian for our Y and love them. Fit is perfect.
Congrats! I am hoping to pick up mine by the end of the month here in SoCal. I hope mine would come with the new console too.

I was wondering the same thing. It was -24° F when I woke up this morning and a heated steering wheel would be so nice!
as for the floor mats, we got the teams Ian mats and love them. Very good quality and fit.
