Congrats on your new Y! If that pic is of your car, unless something has changed in the past year or two, it looks like you’re missing the mudflaps that are supposed to be installed for cars delivered in the PNW. There’s also supposed to be a small area of PPF on the rear doors (hard to tell from your pic). Cars without the flaps and ppf end up with a bunch of rock chips on the rear door, so I’d recommend checking your car has the both installed. You should be able to open a service ticket to get both installed if they’re missing. My Y was delivered with no flaps or PPF, and they installed them
What makes this one different than the one you had? Not trying to be funny, just curious about the upgrades/improvements.

My previous Tesla was a 2016.5 Model X 75D. This is a 2024 Model Y Long Range. I LOVE(d) my X, sweet ride, loved the features, but the range was meh. But it had Full Self Driving and Free Unlimited Supercharging. Both of those features I LOVED and used A LOT. I've seen Tesla have promos here and there where they'd let you transfer one or the other into a new whip, but nothing that really made me want pull the trigger (I came close a few times). Well, a month ago they presented the trifecta.
Buy a new S,3,X or Y and you can transfer your Full Self Drive AND your Free Supercharging AND you get to take the $7,500 credit now, off the price. I really didn't want a payment of a new Model X or S, and we already have a Model 3. I like the 3, but it's too small for me as a daily. The Y seemed to fit the bill very well as a perfect in-between of my X and the 3. So, I got a hold of a sales guy in Fife and he said they had exactly what I wanted coming in the next day. 2024, Model Y Long Range, Stealth Grey, 20" wheels and a tow package. I locked it in and picked it up 5 days later. That photo is from delivery day when I picked her up. All FSD and FUSC transferred right over and she's an amazing new car. And.. My payment went down!

The rear PPF is there and the mudflaps are in my garage. When I was doing the delivery inspection, one of the techs came out to install it and I was like "hold up". I don't like the look of them honestly. Tech handed them to me and said if/when I change my mind, the Ranger (Tesla's mobile repair fleet) can come install them. I have been tossing the idea of PPF'ing the entire car. Here this spring I'll break out all my goodies and get her paint corrected and then decide if I want to PPF, ceramic or both.

That’s awesome. The FUSC is what almost made me dive in years back but my organized chaos life needs at least a 400 mile “severe service” range…. and it’s just. not. there. yet.
I wanna go for a ride though.

Glad to hear Tesla is getting better with their delivery process. They forgot to install them on my car and I had to bring it back in for them to install them.

Not sure how long you have had it, but the Fife SC is WAY better than the Renton one. Seattle SODO isn't bad, but Fife center is pretty awesome.

$5 is $5. It's 'free' money to them. You think they care?

Risk/Reward. The tweakers down here in Lacey learned quickly that the amount of effort to cut, strip and sell the small amounts of copper isn't worth it. Easier to target electrical grounding copper on the side of buildings.
