I went ahead and changed my order to white interior. Perhaps I will get someone else's failed/rejected delivery before I die of old age.
So this is a good one.
I changed my order from black to white interior around 12pm yesterday, 09/07.
I'm out doing a bike ride today, get back, see voicemail time-stamped 01PM MDT from Tesla delivery advisor offering me delivery in Littleton CO as soon as 09/19.
I finally got ahold of the advisor and set up delivery for 09/21. No VIN was available, but he assured me I'd have the VIN 7 days prior to delivery. He confirmed I had no trade in, this was a cash purchase (he recommended ACH payment but I will probably do cashier's check to hold purse strings in case anything is wrong with the car), and he confirmed my interior choice of white.
I can only assume Tesla had a car produced sometime in the last four weeks that was unclaimed (hard to believe with this backlog), someone's financing fell apart, they had a car in need of re-work that I am now getting, or that they are really prioritizing white interior for delivery.
Hopefully I'll have my VIN soon, I expect a VIN in the 6xxxx range, we'll see if I'm right.
