How do you still order the LR RWD? Confused

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I have been trying to get another model 3 order in for my dad for a LR RWD. Elon tweeted we should be able to order for the next week but we are not sure how to order. Gave a call to Tesla center and rep there believed they were unable to do so. Confused about how to actually order and any tips would be appreciated! Or might just be forced to get the MR.
 
I would call the main number. Is that what you did or did you call your local sales center? The main number (choose sales) should be able to take an ‘off menu’ order since that’s what Elon said was available. All that means is the option is as available as it ever was, it just isn’t on the web ordering page.

(For the next week only, of course. :D)
 
…already removed?

I have no idea why Reddit would remove the post.

You can currently get a Long Range 2WD with the white interior. This is currently an "off menu" option.

Here are the steps to follow: 1) Order a Mid Range 2WD with the White Interior, 2) Call Tesla Order Support at and explain that you want to change to the Long Range battery, 3) The Order Support team will open a change request (aka modification / case). The Order Support team will then email you a confirmation email, 4) You must reply back to their email to verify your requested change to the long range battery, 5) Order support will manually update your configuration.

It is important to note that you will still have to “approve” all of your pre delivery numbers based on the mid-range battery option. Your user account will not be updated right away. It may take up to 7 days to update your user account. Regardless, complete all your pre delivery information as soon as possible. This is the email you receive after you place your order and pay your $2,500.

Per the Elon Musk tweet, this is an off menu option, "for the next week or so".

This is confirmed and verified. You are encouraged to validate the above steps with the Order Support team before paying your $2,500 deposit. Make sure you are speaking with a CSR on the Order Support team. They have specific instructions from leadership to allow this configuration.

Hmmm, I contacted my Order Support specialist yesterday and she shot down the white interior option. I didn’t know about this work around and may give it another shot. I also don’t have much faith in customer service. I had to call three times to cancel my P3+ order when each time there was an email verification as well as “notes” added to my account. I still have yet to receive my deposit back but at least the delivery calls have stopped. Definitely a case of the right hand (CS) not synching with the left (delivery). I think you run this risk of not getting what you want.
