So hitting the other Model Y spots this morning and came across a post from the FB Model Y group. Seems the cars made in March have serious issues with the Firmware. I presume this is the batch with the new chips. Sensors are failing, AutoPilot is failing, and they are waiting on the new firmware. I also saw in the news that the CA DMV is investigating Tesla right now as well.
I Will try to upload photos but my account is new-ish so I might not have rights.
At least this is more clues to what is going on. Lots of comments on the thread with others stating build date and same issues.

Love the red too but I'm not bold enough to risk getting tickets. White is beautiful but I just wanted to be able to find my car in the parking lot easier.

I currently have a white car with a black roof and LOVE that look, so I was happy that it was the "free" Tesla color. But as the weeks go by I'm kicking myself for not choosing something different. That Midnight Silver looks soooo good.
NEW:
Tesla is stuck with over 10,000 cars on factory hold, resulting in a logistical nightmare
Tesla has over 10,000 electric cars that came out of Fremont Factory on a “containment hold” and can’t deliver them...

My parents are getting that color. I'm trying to convince them to switch from Mercedes SUV to the Y. They're waiting to see my car first...At this rate, they might not want to switch to Tesla

Entirely agreed. The red is gorgeous but is such a ticket magnet.

This is not good!
Called the Dublin-Amador SC and asked about any updates. They could only say that they expect the car will arrive at their store in the next few weeks. They explained that they don't receive much communication from the factory.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I asked about parts shortage and firmware issues. They could not give me any answers about those due to limited communication from the factory.
Ordered MY LR on 4/11:
Blue/white
Gemini
5 seat
No tow
No FSD
Current est delivery May 19 - June 6 (No VIN)

Maybe then it'll have the 4680 cells.

That's impressive that you're still on those dates. I ordered 2 days before you, same config except black interior and 20" wheels and mine is sitting at 6/7 - 6/27 (pickup in Dublin as well). Hopefully that's a good sign for you.

Who knows. Just late last week the dates were at June 14-June 30, and it goes back and forth pretty regularly. Don't know why our cars wouldn't be delivered at relatively the same time though. Best of luck!

Can we all agree the dates are just to keep us occupied ?

It's a good point that we need to remember. I've said this before but my SA told me late May to mid June when I ordered back in early-ish April. So until that passes, I'm still considering myself "on schedule". I just wished they wouldn't have teased me with the "mid May" dates I had 10 days ago.Can we all agree the dates are just to keep us occupied ?

Yep, mine said early June. If I were to call him now asking where my car is he'd probably think I was nuts.

So something I just realized--my financing was approved through Tesla Finance (via US Bank) but they haven't asked for my downpayment yet--my terms are still going to be good with US Bank even with delays right?
