I got a call today a little before noon saying that they got the go ahead to begin deliveries of the 2020 vehicles, so I picked mine up this evening. Delivery went very smoothly today. If it weren't for the snafu last week, it would have been an excellent order and delivery experience. Didn't really see any issues with the car when I picked it up, no bad panel gaps or anything, so overall an extra 5 day delay isn't all that bad.

How much do you want to be freaked out?
One of my previous purchases, this happened for a month. When I finally showed up anyway to complain, I was finally shown the truth. My car had damage and they wanted to get it fixed before I took delivery. Apparently, they're only forced to disclose if it was above a certain amount. I made them write on the due bill that they were going to replace the entire panel and not cut and repair it like they wanted. In hindsight, I should've just ordered a new car because shortly after new hardware came out. The manager even tried to persuade me to, but I was too impatient to wait.
On the other hand, there's a lot of things going on right now. Perhaps it's just delayed due to logistics.
Yeah I have a feeling they are not telling me something.. It just got pushed AGAIN! This time with no call, I had to refresh my Tesla dashboard to see the date change. This is unreal... I am getting really annoyed at this point.

How long has it been and how many times have they cancelled? I’d show up and request a cancellation in person. See what they say then.
Including Monday, 4 cancelations. A week since my original delivery date. I tried texting and calling, they wont pick up or answer me.. I leave the country tomorrow..
Based on this and a few of the Model 3 threads, I think Tesla is changing this policy. My guess is they started having a hard time selling the current year model cars for full price in December then delivering them to folks in January. Most people would want a discount buying last year’s car in Jan. Probably just bowing to market forces. (Full disclosure: I took delivery of a 2017 full priced Model 3 in Jan 2018. I understood how Tesla worked, but I can see them having issues with that with the mass market).

If it was me, I'd go in and request to see the vehicle. If they have it on site, they should be able to.

I saw mine and drove it. After some back and forth decided to wait for another one. With the little issues and then the drive seats being changed figured best just wait get another.
Has anyone actually seen/sat in the new seats to say they are in fact better. I get the pocket in the back is nice, but interested in the actual comfort of the seat?

Better is kind of subjective. A good question is - does anyone dislike the current seats to roll the dice on a new one?
If you like the current ones, it might not be worth it. If you dislike the current ones, we’ll why not.
Maybe new seats are much better, maybe not...
My concern is in the approach - I did a test drive in the old seats. I liked it and ordered the car. Now I'm going to get something different from what I've chosen before. It's fine that Tesla is constantly changes, but why can't they apply changes to only *new* orders after the announcement. By the way seats are not a show-stopper for me and I will buy this car anyway - that is probably the *why* Tesla is doing like that.

Theres always an inventory car, usually the current stock gets a discount too when new things like this get rolled out.
Recommend you wait. My Blue Raven X was damaged on delivery and they wouldn't let me see it. Something to do with the wheel well lining. Still acts up every time I go through the car wash, and of course, my dual motor logo is still crooked and pointing skyward and my passenger door won't open by pressing the handle. Haven't had time to take it back yet. You ordered a new car, not a repaired one! Waiting is far better than lamenting.

I just rejected the car. You have the right to refuse the car at delivery with a few options. Option 1 just get refund, 2nd option let them fix it and 3rd option wait for the next one.

The 2020's have not been homologized in some states, but not all according to my Delivery Center, and they don't have info on when they will, but think it will be soon
