I think things changed during the Model 3 rush to allow two deferrals.
I wouldn't care about getting a price drop. I'd just hope not to pay for an increase.
I really can't see a price drop happening from here. In fact I hope we don't see one any time soon. Tesla needs to expand service and undo a bunch of the cost-cutting that has so much negative impact on their vehicle and customer service.
I'm in a similar position. No rush to pump Tesla's 2019Q1 figures and get it this month. They said 2-4 weeks, and I'd prefer 4 to get rid of more snow and further into spring.
I haven't filled in my other information they need, because of the lack of expediency and because, frankly, I'm still uncertain whether to go through with it. I consider the $2.5k sunk and I don't _really_ want a Model 3. Too big, too fast, wheels too big, tires too low profile, and it's a sedan. And the company isn't showing the kind of stability that I'd like to see.. It's just a shame that there isn't another committed, organized, dependable EV company from which to buy an "affordable" long-range BEV.
(They assigned a delivery appointment in Texas to me, despite my filling in my home address for delivery when I ordered, because I'm in Maine. Others have reported errors, so I presume I just got caught up in Tesla's internal mess. I called Tesla about it and then yesterday somebody called back asking about it. Maybe that approach of calling back is a double-check for security reasons.)
