I am adjusting my delivery expectation from Aug to Sept now, doesn't seem to be possible for Aug delivery if MY line shuts down for 2 weeks.

It took 2 to 3 weeks for delivery after i got my VIN assigned for my model 3. So, August is still possible if VIN assigned in July.
Vin assignment won't resume until MY production back online in 2 weeks, by then it would be middle of July. I am actually happy if I can take delivery in Sept
I just got an SMS from Tesla saying a Model Y has been assigned to my order. I already knew about my VIN but this looks like it's one step closer. The exact text was:
"Tesla Update: A Model Y has been assigned to your order. Visit your Tesla
Account to view your delivery estimate and complete any outstanding tasks:
ts.la/account Closer to the delivery estimate visible in your Tesla Account, you will receive
an SMS to schedule your Express Delivery appointment."
The delivery estimate is still saying Aug - Nov 2022 though

Me too. Was just about to post the same thing. I assume that means that updated delivery estimates are forthcoming though.
Would still happen? As in those not already assigned one will continue to get them? Highly doubtful since the Model Y production line is shut
The Y production line is shut till the 17th. They MAY assign more but I highly doubt they have cars sitting there ready to assign that haven't been already.
Model 3 VIN's on the other hand could keep coming this week as it's production till they shut on the 17th
i doubt it, unless they made more MY and one poor guy haven't had a chance to get through all the vin assignment.
I did talk to some one that claimed to be working at the giga shanghai, he confirmed MY is down for 2 weeks.

Don't discount the fact that in the past we've seen VIN assignments to occur over a weeks, whilst the build run all occurred over the course of a couple of days. It's a slow process, I had my Model 3 assigned once it was already on the ship from Shanghai.
My guess is that it's a manual process (notice how nothing happens over the weekend or even outside of business hours?) trying to balance the delivery capacity maximum across the Tesla network with the different available configurations. Whatever it is, nobody so far has been able to decipher the logic behind it based on the limited data that's been crowd sourced.
There was one guy on Gumtree who was trying to buy a reservation for a model 3 out of Brisbane or Gold Coast, who apparently was willing to pay up to $5000 if he could get it before Christmas. Not sure if it was some sort of scam. I put an ad on Gumtree and have only attracted one scammer so far who was going to sell me his reservation for a model Y with a delivery in July and he'd include a screenshot from the Tesla website front page! When I questioned him futher, he stopped responding.
I had a chat with SA today and she reckon more will be allocated in this week as they usually allocate vins after cars are loaded on to the ships. I know they don't know much but from her experience this is the first time ever vins are assigned before car loaded on to the ships

Test drove Model Y today in fortitude valley QLD, was very concerned about harsh ride before test drive , but this car blew my mind . Ride quality is on par or bit better than my current CX5(GT) 2020 and test car has upgraded wheels so I think 19inch would be much more comfortable. I also went onto Northshore which had pretty bad streets with lot of pot holes. Haven't really noticed bouncing around as lot of reviewers mentioned. May be if you are coming from a car with air suspension or adaptive suspension you may notice the difference .
