You've never broken a charge port, I'm guessing. Watch a kid render a piece of electronics (adult kids, too) useless by killing the USB port and you'll wish it was simply wireless charging. I like being able to just plop down my phone and have it start charging. It's not like you use a phone much in the car while driving anyway. Waiting on someone? Sure. But, it's nice not having to plug into the phone.
There is some question over what the actual "born on" (build) date means, as it relates to tesla... at least to me there is, and I dont remember anyone confirming. What I mean is, what "exactly" is that date? We know tesla calls it a build date, or born on date, but is it the date they assign a vin to the car? If so, when in the process do they assign the vin (beginning? End? Somewhere in the middle?).
On a BMW, there is a specific manufacturing step when they assign a vin to a car, and its when the car goes "into production". On a tesla, I suspect they may assign these near the end of production (maybe even as they finish?). Since they really are not building a tesla "to order" but building batches of cars with specific specs (unlike BMW which is building cars with expansive option lists specc'ed out how a specific dealer ordered that specific car.
Given that these are not the first times we have read about people taking delivery in california very shortly after the cars " build (born on) date, I suspect that the vins are assigned at the end... which would explain how someone in so cal could take delivery of a car with a build date 2 days earlier.
Just a guess though
Mine is 710xxx.

Shoot. I got a text from Tesla on May 31st telling me my M3P was ready and being shipped.
Looks like good old USB-A for me!

We’ll all find out soon I guess.
Tue June 2nd at 4pm I got my text stating “
Tesla Update - We currently expect your Model 3 to be built in the next 10 days”
Sat June 6th At 11am I got another text stating “Your vehicle delivery has been tentatively scheduled for June 10th at 11am.”
So it’s hard to say exactly when it was built yet. But likely between the 2nd and 6th.
Interesting. I received the building in 10 days on the 2nd as well (M3 LE AWD) but no delivery. Hoping soon!

My VIN is 719, if that has any relevance.
I never got a text about my M3P getting ready to be built. I only received this text from Tesla on 5/31:
Your Model 3 is on its way to the Columbus Delivery Center and ready to be scheduled for delivery! Select your appointment now at tesla.com/schedule/RN113389xxx
We now offer a touchless delivery experience. Check in, complete documents on your own in your Model 3, watch tutorials on the touchscreen, and drive.
I wonder if my car was built before the factory shut down.

I’d rather have homelink, frunk hooks and auto dipping mirrors.

While we’re at it, let’s include all of the above and the heat pump from MY.I’d rather have electric trunk with or without electric frunk.
I started another thread about that. Seems like it would take a while to do a serious redesign to get the heat pump into the Model 3. I don’t know if Tesla wants to devote the resources. Nor how many miles of range would it add to a 3 anyway. Besides potential upcoming battery changes might be easier to swap in and provide better benefit than heat pump.
While I wouldn’t mind heat pump in the 3 I’m pretty sure the Y gets a better benefit from it than a 3 would. Resources better spend elsewhere.
All the other stuff mentioned above is low hanging fruit and fairly easy to update.
Update: So I picked up my car yesterday, and contrary to what my SA had told me, it actually ended up having wireless charging and the USB-C ports in the back--a pleasant surprise!
I talked to my SA. But only after I reached out. I let him know I have been assigned a VIN, because a different SA checked for me while at the store. It does also show on code last six of VIN is 707161. I don't know what that means.
SA said the vehicle was leaving the factory or had just left. However, I asked him about the build date and if after June would have a different charging setup. He said he doesn't know what I am talking about build date. And he has no information on June and after coming with different charging.
