Thanks Ryan.This is not correct. I camped out overnight in Palo Alto. I was about 14th or so in line. But my order is through a Tesla employee friend of mine.
I have corrected myself in follow-up posts. It was my mistake.

BTW, if you're looking for things to tweet at Elon, how about asking if the P3D has special brakes and/or suspension, if the 20" wheels are forged or cast, if the 310 mi range is with 20" or 18" aeros (if the latter, what is range hit on 20's), and if they will make 20" arachnid wheels for the 3?

@favo That is actually on my list. He was busy tweeting about journalists and the media today, so I thought it wasn't the best time to try this question.
Please! There needs to be more for it to be worth it to me. I would like to see more than just bigger wheels, early access to white interior, a carbon fiber spoiler, and a little extra speed for the $21k+ premium.
Caught Elon at the right moment! And the answer is a good one, to boot: Elon Musk on Twitter

Thanks Ryan.

AWD = will it have sport level brakes? (Minus red calipers).
No, but dual motors mean increased regen braking & will ride tire traction limit. You won’t notice sport brakes unless you’re on a racetrack & have the sticky 20” tires.

You made my day Ryan! The P3D in red with the red calipers is going to look pretty sweet. Wasn't expecting him to let us know what kind of brakes were on it. Might have to take this puppy to the track!Caught Elon at the right moment! And the answer is a good one, to boot: Elon Musk on Twitter

I am leaning towards the red these days, after thinking blue for about 4 years. Not sure about interior either. Gonna have to go back and look at them in person. Decisions, decisions...You made my day Ryan! The P3D in red with the red calipers is going to look pretty sweet.
I have never had a red car - this will be my first and I am surprisingly excited. I also was in love with the blue for some time, then had a brief affair with midnight silver metallic. Walked the local Tesla lot today (must have been 50 Model 3s awaiting delivery), blue looks great, but boy does it get dirty quick. The red had a lot more depth than I thought - looked fantastic outdoors and indoors. I wasn't as happy with some of the colors outdoors to be honest. MSM looks fantastic in the show room but it didn't do much for me in the sun.I am leaning towards the red these days, after thinking blue for about 4 years. Not sure about interior either.

Pretty much my thinking exactly! Red always seems to look good. Blue looks awesome sometimes, but not quite as good when dirty or in darker light. I also had a brief fling with MSM. Most of my previous cars were blue, and never had a red one.I have never had a red car - this will be my first and I am surprisingly excited.

It has special brakes, but he says you won't notice the difference on the brakes unless you are using super sticky 20" tires in a racing situation..
The fact you won't notice a brake upgrade unless you're on a racetrack is true of virtually every modern car ever made.
In normal street use brake "upgrades" do literally nothing useful besides make eventual brake jobs more expensive (or more frequently needed for suckers who buy drilled rotors)
