It really could go either way. There are probably significantly fewer white interior awd orders, which means when they do the batches of that setup, there are less in front of you. But, since there are less, they may do smaller or more infrequent batches of them.
I actually have a black interior, but MSM exterior. Thinking of switching to black exterior, but to your point I'm not sure that matters. I have two little kids, can't go with a white interior!

I think you should have gone to the back of the line unless you had the option of reserving an AWD car in early June. Most of us were not able to reserve an AWD on June 7 and were waiting to reserve. It does not seem right to me that someone could have jumped the line by ordering a RWD early and then converting later. But it probably doesn't matter, for all the reasons mentioned in this thread.

Its obvious reservation date dont mean *sugar* to Tesla. It is also odd that people have reported same configurations with later order dates passing earlier orders. Only difference is location. So location plays a big role in it. What sucks is it is like a lottery. Model Y reservation.... HELL NO!

Ok.
There are so many factors that go into all of this: configuration, method of payment, location, reservations date, configuration date, previous owner status, etc. Maybe since you are the expert in this matter you can get a job with TSLA teaching them how to run this?
But I will bet you have not yet driven ANY Tesla. If you had, we would not be having this conversation.

Interesting....today they called me and said that they would like to deliver my car to me on Friday. This is cool, but as I pointed out to them last time, I am leaving town for work on Friday. So now they have scheduled to bring me my car on Thursday the 9th. This is different than originally planned was I had to drive to their "pickup" location which was an hour away from me. Happy to know this. Also, my car is at the prep shop. I am going over there tomorrow to check out the paint job, panel alignment and such....

3 AWD, I have been waiting for over 2 years, I have a 85 S, and a RN for the Roster. I work out of town so picking it up has too be on my schedule because I can not pick it up where I am for the week or I have to pay all the taxes from out of state etc. I was under the impression they were having issues with people not taking delivery for what ever reason... I gave them my available dates this month in Portland, OR 19 and 20th. Their answer was, well we can not deliver your Model 3 on those days because because we don't work Sunday and Monday. Wow, I thought the idea is too deliver cars so we can grow the pot of money to pay the bills and show a profit. I guess I will be putting in an application to be a delivery person so I can work 5 days a week... I think they need to hire more people and have at least 6 days a week flow of cars into the owners hands...
Throwing out another data point:
Non-owner
CT
Reserved afternoon of 3/31/16 in store
Original Invite 4/10/18
Configured AWD 6/26/18
MSM, AWD non performance, EAP, aeros
Sep-Nov delivery estimate
Edit button disappeared along with a new request for loan details on 7/30 or 7/31
Per the VIN decode trick, have a VIN (65xxx)

Yep, there are a few of us (mostly with older orders) that still have the old page.
OK, cool, I'll take the older orders as a good sign and think maybe it means sooner than later I'll be getting my call...
Which color? They didn't start obsidian black yet, so am still waiting in the "old" order page. Ordered on May 20th.
Unless he could configure AWD they wouldn’t let him configure it early. I switched to AWD after a RWD delivery gone wrong and couldn’t configure AWD until the batch containing my reservation number was invited. It just so happened for me that my batch of invites contained all reservation holders and I didn’t even get the email because I had already configured. So I showed up a day late to that party.

I have been a Tesla fan since 2009... I have also been behind the wheel of the 3 as well. I do look forward to getting my own 3, but I didnt drink the Tesla koolaid! I'm not an expert in logistics by any stretch of the imagination, but what Tesla is doing is pissing off a lot people.
