I used the backdoor link many times over the last few weeks to check and see if I could still edit. Did it again on Friday and this time changed to white seats. Got a VIN assigned on Monday. I'm thinking that you're fine. I would always to go the last page in the configurator and choose "Cancel and keep my current Model 3" just to be safe.

Fine, so it’s an aero only issue.
Either there’s a shortage of sport wheels or they haven’t done a batch in a LOOONG time. I think it’s a shortage given it only helps margins to ship those with upgraded wheels.

I'm hoping for a car by 12/31/18. Hood River, OR
Patience is the key here. We are all on the last four months of waiting, hopefully.
4/1/16 Reservation
6/27 Ordered, 5:30 pm
7/19 Confirmed all details on site
7/24 Ordered white seats, Vegan steering wheel 7:30 am via email
7/27 am called. Confirmed changes are waiting to be put in system.
8/20 Order confirmed, changes made to account, all pricing correct, edit button gone.
8/28 just waiting some more........
Agreed. I originally thought there was a chance they'd beat my original Sep-Nov timeline but those hopes are fast fading. Thinking October at the earliest now for a 4/1 res. At the end of the day all that matters is before Dec 31.
Despite a very good chance of them hitting their original window, this process has still been very frustrating. It's weird how tight lipped they're being and how much conflicting information comes from calling up. If you ask me, asking someone to commit to a $70k purchase and only giving a vague 3 month window they may or may not hit is a pretty poor way of doing business. Yeah, growing pains and all, but when other manufacturers catch up in the ev race (and they eventually will), this is the kind of stuff that will get people to vote with their wallets. At some point it won't be worth the hassle, so they HAVE to figure out how to make this experience better.
Yep. That is where I am. Then I go to the address bar and put in the link below with my RN at the end. It used to take me to the edit design page, and now it just redirects me back to the main account page.

Confirmed. I also called in yesterday and was told I have a VIN.
Don't think it's critical as I wasn't doing it until a week or two ago, but figure it can't hurt.
Nobody here knows, that's for sure. I'm starting to think even Tesla doesn't know
I went ahead and swapped for 18"s. I will make myself a guinea pig (probably for the VA area only though). We'll see if something changes in the next few days. I will swap back if i see a White with 19" wheel VIN message here

1/30/18 Reservation
6/28 Ordered, The Tesla page said Sept-Nov delivery
Midnight Silver, AWD, EAP, Aero's
8/26 Dropped my Trade-in, Confirmed all details on site, Got info on Fees and Taxes, lost Edit, Got "We are drafting up your contract.."
Still Sept-Nov Delivery
8/28 Called to tell them I am out of the Country in October
Because of my 2018 reservation date, I do not expect Delivery or even Vin to be eminent, But wanted to call and the "out of the country" issue gave me the excuse. Anyway they were really nice but no Vin and no new information.
I know others have been excited about "We are drafting up your contract.." but I am sure that page is just a standard place holder.

I used the back door to change to white interior over the weekend. No change in Sept-Nov estimate. Not as lucky as you though ... no VIN yet.
Haven't had an edit or backdoor edit for weeks now and I haven't heard anything.
By the time other manufacturers have serious EV competitors for the Model 3, there probably won't be a long wait. By then, the Model 3 will be a mature product. These days, I don't think there are many complaints about the order and delivery timeframes for the Model S and Model X. Yes, we would like more transparency as to the status of our Model 3 order, but we've had enough positive experiences with Tesla, and our Model S (acquired from Tesla as a pre-owned vehicle) is awesome enough, that the negatives are far outweighed.
