Very early LR RWD reservation holder here, and I'm worried to think that myself and those in my position won't see their deliveries until closer to, if not after SR/SR+ deliveries, given the news yesterday.
My reasoning is this: The LR RWD drive is now unorderable. This means those of us in this particular boat are limited in number and will be reduced over time due to drop outs or order conversions to AWD.
There's also nothing really newsworthy from Tesla's perspective to deliver our cars.
On the other hand, just as was the case for the Model 3, getting the $39k SR to market, is newsworthy.
With Tesla clearly not producing any RWD models now, and that drivetrain being the same in the SR and LR RWD, what incentive is there really for Tesla to produce the LR before the SR?
