I was thinking along similar lines. I noticed that two others along with me were all in CA and we have two week window.

I love this...Thank you for all your work on this. Here is where I am:
MYLR Seven-Seater, White/Black, std 19inch wheels
- Order Date: 1/15/2023 evening (1/16/2023O 'Order placed with electronically accepted terms in agreement')
- Location: PA (Pittsburgh region)
- Orig Estimated Delivery Date was: Feb - April
- EDD Updated 1/18/23 to current: Feb 25 - Mar 31
- No VIN yet
There is another guy on here who has same delivery location as me (Mt. Kisco) and ordered a day after me. The only difference between our build is exterior color, him black, me red. He got his VIN already, I have not. So color definitely is a top factor unless we are just a fluky happen stance.

One of the people working at the service center told me that the cars come to them in batches of colors. Which would explain why I saw a lot of other red M3s when I picked mine up back in June. Didn't notice it as much with the MY, but they were a lot busier.

Makes sense to me. I hate washing paint brushes. 
I'm guessing they do at the factories too. Haha. Paint a bunch the same color and then change everything over to another color.

I am no mafacturing line expert, but I can't help wonder that for a corporation trying to manufacture at scale, won't they have multiple paint brushes?Makes sense to me. I hate washing paint brushes.
We have the exact same OD, build and EDD but in Maryland! I guess you're my direct competition! I hope we get an update this week!

You might be right. I'm no expert either and I have no idea how they have things setup, but if they don't have the ability to paint any colors any time, I'm guessing it is not trivial to swap out colors in the painting parts of the line and they try not to do it more than they need to. That's just a trivial way to say that some amount of batching by color makes sense to me. But we're all just grasping at straws waiting for these 7-seaters to show up! It takes a minute for Elon to paint each of these.
it depends on what equipment they use. I remember seeing one show about auto manufacturing that said they used one type painting equipment that could paint different colors as it used some sort of individual paint cartridge for each specific car. while other equipment is only able to paint one color at a time and takes time to swap colors (assuming this is what Tesla uses to cut cost).

My EDD is still 2/15 - 2/27 with no VIN
I just went in person to the tesla center where my pickup will be. They were able to look up my order and confirm it will finish production on 2/21! They said they can't do this for us over the phone.... so if you are near your tesla shop you should consider driving in
