Thank you! By his logic we should be happy if our cars are delivered with no doors lol

Passenger lumbar support missing from new MY
- Thread starter Physicslawyer
- Start date
It isn't the same, at least not to me. If they want to add more stuff for free, sure I will take it. If I went to test drive a vehicle and put money for it but then the end result is different, that to me is bait and switch. They even changed the seat information on their website but who knows when that was changed. I honestly just want them to be upfront about changes, they at least did that with the radar changes.
The problem I have is that it feels like 'bait and switch'. When I ordered a Tesla MY, the website and the SA stated the vehicle had Radar and 12 point adjustable seats. We even checked to make sure it had lumber support during our test drive. Only now do I discover that Tesla has removed both. I will admit this isn't enough for me not to accept the car. I'm just starting to really distrust Tesla.
Well at least they are consistent there
Probably just wait for their official response..
Kinda answers the questions from those potential new buyers wanting to wait for the next best feature and then the wait may not give you the next best feature but something less.
are you assuming white (seat) privilege?

@Midnightsun you forgot a few of the positives: laminated dual-pane front door windows; USB stick included for TeslaCam/Sentry; updated center console with storage cover that you don't have to learn how to close with "just the right amount of pressure" nor wrap/cover to avoid getting finger prints and scratches; updated headlights (on MYP only so far mind you); I might be missing a few

Correct you are however there are certain things some like and other do not. I for one would not want the UFO sound maker nor the updated console. The laminated front glass is nice but questionable if it really makes a difference but still a plus. Did they not put in heated mirrors also when they did the steering wheel?
Point is it seems like many held off to get the most new features possible however it is turning into get one now before they take something else away. Best purchase time would have been after the heated wheel but before the noise maker IMHO.
USB-A for Sentry Mode and Dashcam moved to inside glove box for added security. Redesigned tail lights (the charging port may also have been redesigned to now include a release button.) Mudflaps and/or PPF for rear doors (supposed to be now be standard on MY sold in northern US and Canada but I may be wrong.) Factory Tow Hitch option (can be included with order, Tow Hitch is installed at the Tesla Service Center), 7-seat (option) now available. Larger 82kWh battery pack versus the original 78kWh battery pack (at least for the Performance Model Y.)
The mirrors have always been heated. Tesla changed the side mirrors on the Model Y to auto-dimming mirrors when they started using auto-dimming mirrors again on the Model 3.
This is what i want to avoid. I like auto dimming mirrors. I would feel very bad if I took delivery of a car without one, only to find out that they were putting it back into the car later. I dont want to accept the car next week, then in 2 months find out that they are churning out cars with lumbar support on both sides.
On a separate note:
This is not "continuous improvement" - this is a fluctuation of what is being offered as standard equipment. It's taking away something that was there, and is very different from the "i am going to hold out for the next cool NEW feature"
