Yes you are correct. Matrix are really great and the current headlights are merely acceptable. Model S headlights are actually defective. The DRLs fail very quickly and the entire lamp needs to be replaced.

And we’ve seen tesla transport them without protective wrap which is just dumb for a cross country trip.
True, but the issues I've seen are paint chips on panel corners, paint DRIPS, mismatched bumper color paint, and copious interior issues. No way any of those are related to transport damage.

Yes, I'm going to have the Xpel Stealth series installed on my car and tint too.
Here you are my quote from Tint World in Fort Lauderdale. (Reducted my name)

whistle. I have an appointment with the service center on March 3rd.
They said the small windows on the driver side need to be adjusted or replace the windows seal.
Imagine the due bills on those early CTs when they come out in 2-20 years. Enjoy this one for a while.
For those of you who did the “experiment”, here’s my update.
Experiment == Placing a 2nd order, but this time on an MXP.
My original order was Aug 2021 for an MXLR 5 seater. Original EDD was April. Changed recently to July like everyone else. No way I’ll get a 5 seater in July IMO.
Placed a 2nd order on 1/1/2022 for an MXP, EDD October. 2 weeks later received an updated EDD window within Feb-Mar timeframe. 2 weeks later EDD went back to Oct. Last week EDD went to 3/6 - 3/27.
Today I received a 2022 VIN with EDD 3/8 - 3/12. We’ll see if it holds.
MXP - Black/White - 22” - No FSD
Atlanta - Roswell SC
MVPA shows 23 miles.

Good for you, but frustrating for those of us who had a plaid 6 seat original order since pre-refresh and have no VIN. Currently July EDD. I actually added a second plaid order and put FSD on both, with no traction.
Nice !! Mine went from August to Feb back to August and now feb/march. This gives me some hope
That’s amazing. I did the same experiment and ordered a plaid a few days ago — my LR order from September 2021 says July. Let’s see what comes first. They seem to be pushing plaids much quicker nowadays.
I knew it was too good to be true. My estimated delivery date of Feb 21 - March 14 just went to July.
Luckily I preordered a Rivian R1S, and it’s showing an estimate of October-December. We all know that will surely get pushed back, but at this rate I might get that vehicle first!
Unbelievable. I am thankful I didn’t buy a new Porsche that’s burning to a crisp somewhere in the Atlantic…

Debating how I could swing the extra 20-30k to go to the plaid from my LR
HA HA, that's very funny! The "under promise and over deliver" ship left a VERY VERY long time ago... Just saying

just said F it and grabbed a 2018 100d from a local Toyota dealer here in Portland. If/when they finally ship 5 seaters, I’ll trade it into them. 
Well, my friends, I finally made the rational decision to cancel my order and not be subject to the lace of caring, customer service and insane delivery situation. I wish you all well and hope you get your car very soon. Be well.
That’s a good price. I would gladly drop that much for that result.
