Which is total conjecture/rumor at this point. Let’s stick to what’s proven in terms of flaws.

No worries, @EVnut. You can't "edit" your entry, you can only re-enter your info here. I just got edit access to the form so will try and figure out how it can pull up your existing info instead of having to retype (anybody done this before?)
As for the table I replied with, it's showing that of the configs with black interior and 18" wheels, there are 83 AWD orders for blue exterior and 64 for white. The earliest blue got a VIN or delivery date for July 24th, and there was a white VIN or delivery date of July 21st (so almost the same). The last two columns are for Performance (these headings don't show on my screen shot, so understandable you couldn't figure that out).
This chart doesn't really show how many VINs and/or Delivery dates have been given for each colour, only the first. So I made a chart for you:
This shows that of the 174 orders with blue exterior, 26 (15%) have received a VIN or Delivery date. Of the 121 choosing white exterior, 30 (25%) have received a VIN or Delivery date - so white is getting delivery quicker than blue all other things being equal. Of course, we know that all other things aren't equal. White may have more orders with people who reserved Day 1, or live in States getting cars more quickly, or have the right tire selection. There really are tons of permutations.
Hope this helps!

I understand that order modifications hold up the VIN matching and delivery process. Once the modifications have been processed, you move forward. I was told on the phone that I have. DA but no VIN yet. I’m hoping these aren’t just a coincidence and that somebody is finally owning my order. I don’t recall the time between DA assignment and VIN/delivery activities.

I was told i had a DA last week when i called in to check on order status. Called in yesterday and was told i didn't have a DA and that a VIN would trigger everything to fall in place. She went on to say that she couldn't really tell me anything else about the current state of my account. She also went on to say that my car was in production.
I wonder what is going on with my account. The first person i spoke with told me the name (first and last) of my DA and said he was probably just waiting for my VIN before contacting me. If they are still going by 6-8 week for contact from DA, i am on week 9 lol
This is what's maddening to me. I don't think Tesla's front line agents have any clue about what may be going on. When I inquired into changing to white I was told it wouldn't delay anything. That seemed to be what the majority of people were told at the time, but others were told differently.
Now look at all the people that are being told reservation date may or may not matter or even something like adding EAP or FSD will bump you to the back of the line. Not only is it conflicting information, but it makes no sense whatsoever.
I don't blame the workers, I blame Tesla for not training them properly. Say what you want about outside FUD, there's a good amount coming from inside Tesla right now as well.
It's not the length of time that bothers me, it's the complete lack of communication that does. And when you do manage to get anything, it likely conflicts with what someone else may be told.
I highly doubt that Tesla will force sunscreen on backseat passengers.

Good to see another Chicagoan with progress. Congrats. Give me some hope as we reserved on the same day. I omitted EA and hope that doesn't bump me back too much.
