So same question to you, when you do click buy, do you just need to put the $100 deposit down on it to hold it while you work out the other payment stuff, or what do you need to have there?
Genuinely interested, since you weren't considering the P previously, do you feel like the $7k+ additional cost is worth having the car sooner? Everyone's situation is different but for me I don't have an extreme urgency for a new car and the summer tires, 21" wheels, lower suspension wouldn't work for the driving I do so I'd have to replace all of that anyways. I'd still have that glorious 0-60 speed upgrade but that's about it.
I think my color change was a dumb idea. It really screwed me.

Gotcha, ok, so add that $100. Then sort out financing and contact my current SA I'm guessing after based on other feedback (of course all assuming I see one I want)
Yup, exactly this.
I clicked buy, filled in my general info and paid the $100. I choose cash payment as I'm financing thru the credit union my wife works at as she gets an additional 1% off their lowest rate (we got approved at 2.85, so my interest rate will be 1.85).
I have a VIN already and my EDD is next week.

So I assume you bought the one in MO, so I assume they are delivering it to FL?
I did
Sorry if you were trying to get it lolYeah, it's a $1000 fee to have it delivered down here. I'm assuming they truck it down and someone doesn't drive it lol

Stopped reading when I saw:
Tesla Model S and Model Y customers are suffering months-long delivery delays, report says
CNBC reported a Tesla employee as saying that staff were scared to ask management for more information about what was causing delays.www.yahoo.com
"The delays also appear to be affecting the $40,000 Model Y."
Just another Business Insider clickbait piece about Tesla, while telling me absolutely zero new information. Author needs to know what they're talking about, or hire more editors + fact checkers.
Don’t think that has anything to do with it. I’m an October as well and haven’t changed a thing. I’m pretty sure they are just dusting us off to the side so they can focus on more profitable MYP Models. I mean they’re strategy seems to be working, create enough impatience with their customers they become desperate enough to through more money their way to get a vehicle quicker.
Only $1000 delivery fee for me, guessing it depends on how far Tesla has to ship it

Exactly my thoughts. It's $7k more, but then I'd need to buy new tires/wheels. I'm sure the insurance would go up as well. While I know I could sell the 21" wheels that come with the P, honestly the hassle of doing that and then getting the new ones put on/balanced and all of that just isn't worth it.
The only part of the Performance model I'd want is the red brake calipers
Not who you asked, but I was planning on getting the LR with induction wheels and speed boost. After adding those, the price difference is down to $3K between the LR and P. Figured it was close enough to get a slightly faster car and have a quicker delivery. If we don't like the uberturbines, we can sell them and throw some other wheels on.
If everyone here was diligent about reporting their VIN and date of manufacture, that would make it very easy for us to tell.
But I'd wager a guess and say 245xxx is quite recent. Should be manufactured within the last month or so.
