So how do you feel about the stuff Tesla has been adding without notification or asking permission? Improved processor, better 12V battery, myriad other internal changes. We're in this weird situation where cars are backordered 9-12 months, and this particular company continuously changes many things about the car. I don't think I want them to build me a version of last year's car just so that I get what I ordered last November. I like that unlike legacy manufacturers they engage in continuous improvement rather than holding back and delivering the same vehicle until they roll out a "new"model. When my car finally shows up I'll decide whether I want the currently produced vehicle with whatever additions and deletions it might have at last year's price. If all of a sudden they change the battery pack so that it only has 200 miles of range, I'll walk. If they fix the windshield wipers and make cruise control actually work, I'll be happy.
With the current ordering/production time distortion one would be much better off buying a used vehicle if certainty about the exact composition of the product is paramount.
