Or just make changes on predictable schedules like model years like everyone else. Or they could raise the order fee. But they don't care. I'm sure the vast majority of people aren't paying attention to these things. It's like 10 of us on this thread versus the thousands of cars they sell
For those that just took delivery or won't forfeit their $250 and potentially an FSD or FUSC transfer. I believe the current 2024 already has the RGB lighting harness which would mean if you can find someone at Tesla to do a config, it should work if you added the stock parts.
The HW4 computer already has the unused front camera slot so a retrofit should also be straight forward but it might require a config change by someone that has more than just Toolbox 3 access.
The reality is, we've all accepted the Vision disclaimer that parking assistance won't be working correctly for a while, but they're eventually going to have to make good on it with Vision which means retrofits at some point since we know it will never work in the front with the missing camera.

Requesting a two-week hold will release your VIN, but, if they don't sell it during those two weeks to someone else it might get reassigned to you at the end of your hold.
I am in the same boat and delivery scheduled to sunday. I hope news come out today, i might burn $250 + old paint discount of $2500. Or i dont know… if light plus camera worth $2750 or not. Advice?

Why do you believe the '24s have the RGB wiring harness? I'd love to read more on this.
I would have gladly canceled my order and paid another $250 to get the latest updates. It's actually pretty awesome to have that option even up to the day of delivery. You can always reject even after the delivery appointment and if for cause, you get to keep your order. But even without cause, it's $250 to be able to get a minor refresh that will probably be current for quite some time.
I'm not sure about "some time". Tesla has been updating the 21+ "Refresh" every handful of months. Interior trim options, steam hardware, plaid writing vs badge, rear screen size changes, tilting front screen, headlight/tail light changes, rear trunk lid from tesla badge to writing "tesla", steering wheel instead of yoke, yoke/steering wheel button changes. It's been continuous change over the last 3 years. I'd be more pissed if I was a 21 owner seeing the headlight/tail changes after having my car be called the "refresh".
Yea, I meant just for at least a few months. They sometimes go 6 months without any feature changes. I know they have line changes several times a week which is unheard of in the auto industry.
Unlike my MXP which had just tons of interior NVH issues from day one, this MSP so far has nothing. It's completely silent. I swear it's even quieter than my MXP was but there's also a bigger difference when turning off active noise cancellation. With the MXP, you could just hear the difference. With this one it's far more obvious.

It's also possible they'll raise the prices though bro so it might be a lot more than $2750..
Unfortunately the active noise cancellation in mine makes road noise worse. But I think that’s because of the tires I’m running (ps as4).
I am overall impressed with the noise control at high speeds. This car really comes into its own above 100 IMO. Too bad no autobahns in the US
I might. Though I hesitate because one of the things I’ve enjoyed about EVs is not quibbling over oil specs and such. Based on your username seems like you had an e46 at some point so I’m sure you’re aware how ridiculous that obsession could get.

I think most of the refresh changes have occurred between Feb and March each year, starting in 22
I've got a thought....
My order date is Dec. 8th, 2023: Model S Long Range, Stealth Grey Paint, Ebony interior, 19' Wheels, Steering Wheel, FSD.
Most of us placed our orders when the estimated delivery date was at the end to the beginning of the year. We took a 3-mile hit from the EPA seige. For some, like myself who have yet to received a VIN, EDD pushed several times, etc. Current EDD is March 12th - March 31st BTW with similar models local to me.
So... Here's my thought... what if our patience pays off and we end up getting the ambient lighting and bumper camera? What if it's Tesla's way of saying... 'My bad for the shenanigans", Take this gift before we raise the prices of the 2024 Model S. Maybe I'm too much of a glass-half-full person but I'm trying to wrap my head around why the one in the snapshot wasn't matched to me. When I called they said that I could be matched with this vehicle but I told them that I'll just wait for my vin to be assigned. Just sharing a thought.
I've seen several post on here of people ordering MSLRs in Feb and taking delivery already... which ignites a few questions... were they ordering from existing inventory? Did they purchase FSD? Does the purchase of FSD have anything to do with the push of dates for those who did not order from inventory nor purchase FSD concerning the EDD being pushed? I guess what I'm trying to get to is... if you purchased FSD and have not been given a VIN wouldn't it make sense for those purchases to receive a newly featured front camera by offsetting the price of what is to come? Maybe I'm just digging and my brain is braining.
