BTW, for the OCD folks (like myself) if your settings (wheel type, car color, pano roof, spoiler, etc.) are incorrect for your vehicle this can be corrected remotely if you contact Tesla. They fixed my wheel setting being wrong within a few hours (maybe faster) of when I called, while my vehicle was unattended (I was at work).
JoshG, Thanks so much for the pictures and info, especially the part about updating the picture of the car in the system. Car looks great, love the first photo with the spoiler and parcel shelf being visible. I can't wait to get the phone call.

Any feedback whether the rear spoiler increases or decreases the amount of dust and dirt on the rear bumper area?

Oh, great question. I'd love to hear the same. The rear of the car does get quite filthy.
I had just about decided to not put the rear spoiler on when it came due, but if it cuts down on dirt that sucker is going on.

Did anyone notice if the installed parcel shelf cut down any wheel/road noise from the back of the car ?

The LA service center said that it still hasn't received any parcel shelf shipments, however they are likely to be pre-designated by VIN to ensure orderly distribution of these backordered parts.

As of today,the San Diego service center hasn't received the parcel shelves or CF spoilers as well.
SD Service technician Erick has been awesome. He actually emailed me out of the blue after seeing me post on this forum, asking if I needed help getting my due bill items. After about a month of me emailing and calling various people and departments regarding getting the CF dash material for my car (incorrectly delivered with Piano Black), Erick let me know that the parts finally came in today. I could sense Erick's frustrations with the internal processes for the service division, it sounded like multiple requests to the factory were ignored, and they had near zero visibility as to when parts were getting shipped to them.

I noticed you also have what looks like a cover with handle where the depressed foot area for the option rear seats would be. Was this included with the parcel shelf ?
My Model S Sig did not come with this.
Mine did. And I don't have the parcel shelf.
Might want to double-check that your footwell cover isn't in the car upside down.

That's great, that was about the only complaint I had with the car. I wonder what caused it, maybe it was the footwell cover acting as a drum?

There are a couple things that are going on with this particular issue. The rear hatch can move a bit if the shims are not adjusted properly. Search the forum for the 'pressure buffeting' thread and there is a long discussion. If you tap on the back of the rear seats, you can recreate the sound. So something is going on with the air movement in the car that is causing the back of the rear seats to act like a bass drum head. Then the big open space of the trunk/hatch area acts like a bass drum cavity, causing that bass drum type sound/pressure.
In the official Tesla website forum, someone there had the service center adjust the latching mechanism of the rear hatch as well to reduce the amount of movement the rear hatch has. The pressure buffeting issue is one that can be solved, but it involves a couple of things that need to be adjusted, so keep at it and you'll be able to get resolution to the issue!

Definitely did not come with the car. I never realized until I saw the photos. Thanks for posting JoshG.
Should be no problem. Wonder if the cover will damped any road noise ?
No, that footwell cover came with the car upon delivery. Was NOT a part of the parcel shelf delivery. surprised you don't have one. Would call your DS or service rep, or just email ownership team.

Sorry, just to clarify, the cover did not come with MY car. It was not laying in the back upside down.
