That's ridiculous, did you order a 3rd seat version?Just spoke with a sales person at Tesla Tyco Road, Vienna Virginia. My Blue/White AWD LR + FSD has not been built yet. Ordered May 2018.
According to him, it might take more than 12-16 weeks.

So if u order today any color exterior with white interior it quotes 4-8weeks !
I ordered 3 days ago and received my VIN today so I expect your wait won’t be that long. I was quoted 8 to 12 weeks when I ordered.

Your Y with the Gemini wheel covers removed looks great Vistan! Can you tell us if you added the center and lug caps?

Super sharp! I ordered my Y on 05/23/2020 - LR - Red Ext - White Int - 19” Gemini wheels. I prefer the lighter wheel colors, and really like the look of the 19” wheels with the covers removed. Do you think it affects range, and have you noticed a difference in road noise?
@Hawkstrike: The only time I've had the plastic wheel covers on was for the 4 miles from the Tesla Delivery Center to my home. The "hubcaps" are now in plastic bags and will probably never be mounted again. I suspect that having the covers on will only slightly affect range at highway speeds, and I don't see how they could affect road noise.

Thanks for the info. I’m ecstatic that the wheels look so good, as that was the only reservation I had on the appearance of my build.
Did a test drive of the Model Y at the factory in Fremont today while I wait for my white/white AWD (because why not). Asked the sales person all sorts of questions about the car but when it came to what’s going to be built and when he said, “I’ve been a sales person here for 4 years and I can tell you something for certain: they purposely do not tell salespeople anything about what’s being built or when. Why? So many people ask us questions trying to find out something to print that Tesla purposefully tells us nothing to protect us and the company. Company-wide emails here are leaked within an hour. If anyone tells you they know what’s coming, they are not going off of anything factual.”
Anyway, don’t listen to sales people about timelines!
EDIT: Picture of the Y I test drove today. They even let me take my son in his car seat.

This entire thread is about white interiors. Why would you get our hopes up like that with a black interior?
My apologies. I should have been clear I was replying to the Tesla sales rep’s timeframe quote. There is an article out this morning discussing the “drastically accelerated model Y delivery timeline”.
