Sorry to hear all this. I’m scheduled to pick ours up this week. As a first time Tesla and EV owner, how exactly can I tell if it has HW4 and the Phoenix radar. I asked my SA and wasn’t even aware of HW4 and is convinced I will get Hw3

Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room

Yes, it calibrated about 10 minutes after leaving the lot. Reboots don't help. No dice.
They can see it. If it says AP3 in the inventory screen, it doesn't have HW4. You can go to the delivery center and ask the SA to show you the internal specs before you accept. Don't pay until you do that.
All USS warts are gone, cameras have a red optical effect when looked at at the right angle, forward facing camera assembly is new design, Tesla logo in back looks different.
The opening at the front around the Tesla logo appears to be closed up now as well. Do you see any differences in this area when the frunk is open?
Initial camera calibration should give you TACC, regular AP. NoA takes additional time to complete calibration, maybe that’s why you don’t have the NoA functionality/visualizations?
If I ordered a “demo” model X in the last couple of days with the $12,000 discount I should just cancel, lose the $250 order fee and basically pay the $2,000 difference to get HW4?

Info w/o Drama
Here is a recap of Model X prices going back to January 2021 when the refresh was introduced.
I just received a call from some agent at Tesla and they were telling me that all refreshed MX without USS will be able to be retrofitted with new HW4 upgrades. Literally told me to not take what Elon said about not retrofitting as “not possible”. If the MX is starting to rollout with installed HW4 and radar from factory, that would be the better play then “hoping” it can be retrofitted. I’d feel like a fool picking up my MX this week with the AP3 instead of just losing $250 deposit and increasing the potential of getting one ordered with AP4.
Yea, non-USS Model X started shipping out a month ago. However, given the coolant pipe and mounting harness for AP4 is different than the AP3 (see leaked tear downs), I am highly skeptical of what this agent is claiming is possible.
If I was in your situation, I would either 1) put the order on hold, or 2) go to the delivery and find some minor reason to reject the VIN (you can do this 2 times). You will get assigned another VIN after that.
Is it a hard rule they let you reject the VIN twice (at delivery)? Is that separate from the hold's you can place (once?) pre-delivery?
I'm picking up my (MX Plaid round steering wheel) vehicle tomorrow and was able to ask my assigned Sales associate if the vehicle has HW4 and she was able to look into the vin and confirm it has HW4. Seems like the sales associates are able to figure this out.
They will have to tell you, ask the service advisor person your vehicles birthday.
Well, problem solved whether my MX
Well, my wife wanted to test drive a Tesla with the Yoke today before taking delivery and they had an MS available. So our problem is solved and canceled our incoming MX with the yoke and reordered one with a wheel. She and myself did not like the Yoke. It’s neat, very cool indeed but not practical for us. Maybe if it was our only car but going back and forth with our other cars with round steering wheels would be frustrating. I wish they still had stalks, this will be definite learning curve. Looking forward to our Blue, cream int.,20” wheels in the next month or two. Maybe we’ll get lucky with Hw.4
