Probably better to say, the white seats aren't causing a delay.
Pre price jump orders and LR are still taking a long time, New Plaid orders are taking about 6-8 weeks, regardless of the interior choices.

My VIN came about 8 hours after the car rolled off the line, FWIW.
See posts #4923 and 4931
Any update on your 470? My 470 was built yesterday morning but has to be shipped cross-country.
My delivery is set for Monday between noon and 4pm. I’ll let you all know.
Dude, you've got to sneak over there Sunday and give us a sneak peek!
Just thought I'd pop back in and see how many new names I see waiting. And to tell you that after 2 months and almost 4,000 miles... it is definitely worth the wait. Mine took 9 months and 5 days and is my third Model S (2013 60kwh, 2016 90D, 2021 LR).
This one is like a totally different car. I'm not sad that I had to wait extra time for the white interior back when that was causing a delay. It truly takes my breath away every time I open the door.

Man, that sucks. But you’ll definitely get the new lights if that’s a thing.
FYL is right. Probably FML soon too. I am 11515 Kansas City delivery. Currently at Feb 12 to Feb 25th. I really hope this is the famous pushback right before the VIN pops for you. From what I am seeing on the boards this push back maybe legit.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not, as far as I'm know, been disclosed when these will be rolled out in the US market, so I don't understand how you can tell someone they will definitely get the new lights.
We'll just have to wait and see. I've talked to a number of folks with supposedly inside sources, but who really knows. Just trying to give this guy a little bright-side to look forward to
Aww man! That means my EDD push is probably coming soon! No bueno!!!! Cmon Tesla, start pumping out those black/white’s!

STOP WITH THE DAMN OPTIMISM. It just gets hopes up. There have been people here who postponed deliveries based upon these unsubstantiated rumors.
Here is some negativity! I like how it was said, "But you’ll definitely get the new lights if that’s a thing." We have seen no evidence it is a thing. I've seen the line in action. I cannot believe it needed to be reconfigured for different headlights or taillights and I cannot imagine they would update headlights or tail lights in a way that would require either the hood bumper assembly or the rear hatch and rear quarterpanels to be reconfigured. These will be new lights in the same sized housings. And even if some modifications were made, by now we would have seen evidence of such changes from more than a month ago.
Other optimists have told people that a narrowing EDD range means something. BULL! And as for inside sources, well, I've been waiting 11 months for the car and the name I was given for a loyalty advisor didn't bother to return my voicemail. My insiders (albeit in a different division) tell me they will have someone call and no one calls. Still nothing but pushed back dates multiple times upon entering the EDD range.
The cars apparently come RANDOMLY, or when someone else passes on a car due to apparent flaws. I did not believe it before, but it does seem true that if you have an older order and got a good deal compared to today's pricing they are in no hurry to get you the car.

I would be surly if I were you too. Are you the lowest RN not to have gotten a VIN yet?

Good points. Always good to take everything with a dose of skepticism. I'm hopeful they are coming soon (and 99% sure we'll hear about it in the first half of this year), but schedules always change, and this could always be pushed pack a month or so.
FYI. I just looked at some 470 VINs in a Tesla lot and they do not have the new lights.
I assume once the website is updated the new headlights will be delivered. Not sure why everyone thinks they are on the way
Because a guy on the TMC forum said a guy on the reddit forum said it was true
So my source said they were at the factory this week and didn't see any evidence of new lights anywhere. I'm going to accept my delivery and delete my TMC bookmark for a while.
