Does build influence production start?
Nothing matters more than whether you are in the quarter at all, and steilkurve and ryshaw seem to be.
If you are within the same quarter, nothing matters more than whether you are (1) foreign; (2) California; or (3) US but not California.
If you are in the same geographic area (i.e., the same category of (1), (2) or (3)), and steilkurve and ryshaw seem to be, then it is my belief that the build very likely is the next determiner of the order of your production, because I believe that they group battery size and "D" and "P" configurations for the efficiency that comes with repetition.
I base my belief in large measure by being somewhat familiar with production lines of other products, and by watching this thread. I watched my 100D get pushed back while 75Ds of higher VINs and later confirmation dates were built, 90D of higher VINs and later confirmation dates were built, and P100Ds of higher VINs and later confirmation dates were built. (Some of the delays are VERY likely due to concerns regarding EPA approval of the 100D's.) But I think that the progression is discernible based on build.
