Does anyone know where I can see a photo of the original vs. the retrofit vs. the ones coming off the line these days? I'd like to compare mine.

So I have been trying to keep a running list of things we've been promised/told are coming/be retrofitted and not cost us money. Here is what I have so far:
- Visors with lighted vanity mirrors
- Rear reading lights retrofit
- Sunshades for panorama roof
I'm also not including due bill items (parcel shelf, carbon fiber spoiler, etc.). is there anything I am missing?

There are 2 seperate items regarding the defroster vents. 1) a software update coming in 4.5 is going to improve the 'defroster' airflow settings and 2) the hardware vent improvement. You are referring to #2. It was probably free for those living in Canada or really cold climates as it's more of a safety issue there, and they probably needs some real 'beta' testers to confirm their cold weather package works. They got it for free I think. I don't know if they are still doing that. Any hardware change for that from here on out is probably only going to be via the cold weather package and not a free retrofit.What about the front defroster vent retrofit: is that something everyone gets, or do you have to live in a 'cold' climate?

My boss's Model S that came yesterday had the rear reading lights, they are pretty sick.
Are you working without a net?

I got my car on March 6th and there are rear lights. Did you get a car without those?
Other items promised that we're still waiting on - access to music storage device & wifi. Hardware is already included for those AFAIK though, so no retrofit needed.
I have the rear reading lights, but I could swear that it was stated somewhere that the initial iteration of the lights were not up to snuff and that they were going to be replaced.

What's that blue light at the base of where the windshield meets the windshield wipers. Will that help to defrost faster? Is that Martian or would that be red so that must be from Venus? :wink:I just received my defroster retrofit today. Ironically, I have not had a fogging issue, except in the little window on the driver's door.View attachment 21774
Reflection. Skylight? Window? Doorway?What's that blue light at the base of where the windshield meets the windshield wipers.

Has anyone seen these at all? I certainly don't have them. And my sun visors are, well, they're OK in the front, but it's physicallly impossible to rotate them to the side window (I'm short, the driver's seat is far forward).So I have been trying to keep a running list of things we've been promised/told are coming/be retrofitted and not cost us money.

I'm not sure what was supposed to be changed on these. On mine here are two "button lights", one on each side, just like the button lights in the front. Can anyone point me to more information?- Rear reading lights retrofit
