How to Delay/ hold order?

[NikolaTs]

I’ve seen mentioned that people were able to place the reservation, then place it on hold for some period of months before you’re paired with a VIN. How do you do that?
I placed an order end of March, then noticed they’re estimating June for delivery, but I’d rather wait. I both texted and emailed the sales advisor who helped me during the test drive and haven’t seen any response at all, or changes to the estimated delivery date. I think it’s a ymmv situation, but Is there some trick to getting SAs to respond? Or do I just wait till I get a VIN and they start bugging me for insurance and payment, and delay at that point ?
I’d rather delay / hold the Rez now if possible since the clock starts on the timer once they give you a VIN.

I got an email from the local store a couple hours after my reservation was confirmed. I told him that I was going to delay and he said no problem. Currently I am on hold til Q4 but I might push til Q1 2022 (mentioned I was waiting for the tax breaks to come back). Very easy.

Same, I ordered in May 2021, only because the guy said I can hold it for a year. Now I just got the nastygram saying I have to take it now. Trying to see what options I have as I dont want it til 2022 so i can get the maxx rebate.

Reread your email, mine just said I had to confirm when I wanted it by a certain date, not that I had to take delivery now. The people being told to take delivery now have had orders on hold over a year.
