If I change my order will I lose my early ‘spot’ in line?

Updated my order with FSD before the 1k hike and it seems I still have the same RN number. But I did receive an email from Tesla about the change.

I don't think being "early" means a whole lot with Tesla. Just look at the Y roll out... First Day reservation holders with no cars long (months) after deliveries started. Not to mention people ordering and getting cars assigned/delivered within days...
I think spec, location, shipping / transport schedules, and production batches matter much, much more than "First!"
Get what you want, when you want it and don't worry about it.

How fast you get it will likely depend less on when you ordered, and more on model and distance proximity from Austin.

I changed from dual motor to triple motor and did not get a new RN. After waiting for my M3 and an E bike I have become a patient person.

I ordered a Model Y to keep me happy while I wait. Will sell the expensive X although I love it and will miss it. Cannot justify twice the price for a car that largely sits in the garage during COVID.

You'll have plenty of time to add it later. If you check you order number on the list you may be as surprised as I was.
I thought I was early in the cue, having ordered a week after the Cybrtrk was introduced. Well, I am 270,000 something with a delivery date in April of 2023. By then the new version may fly and not need FSD.

For what it's worth, I updated my reservation from dual to tri motor, and it retained my reservation number. I received a confirmation email that my order had been updated, and everything still looks good within my Tesla account.

How do I update my order?

How do I update my order?

At this point you will just have to wait until you get an email from Tesla with a link to the configuration tool. Maybe this will change at a later date, but seems like they are shutting down shuffling up configs.

If I upgrade from a dual to tri motor, will my early reservation number get priority, or will it be as if I have a new order?

Looks like tri motor is gone so nothing to worry about

It'd be nice to know what the new prices are for the quad motor. I don't expect it to be the same as tri. No way in hell Tesla is giving stuff away for free.

Almost back to ground zero, I’m kind of thinking they will reset more than just the tri motor config. Looks like January we’ll get an update… unless we don’t.

Any way to estimate how many CT reservations are ahead of RN1129555xx ?

Typed this out in detail but I wasn't logged in, so I lost it Gonna retype it more briefly

Spoke with 2 Call Center reps and 1 showroom employee and learned that the current rules (don't take me at my word, verify yourself):

• Changes to your order do NOT put you at the back of the line. Orders are fulfilled roughly by reservation date, and as we know are likely done in same-Trim batches
• Changes to your order do NOT cause more recent price increases to take effect. Only price decreases! Price changes have been tracked here: Tesla Car Price History

I asked these questions with regards to changing from one Trim of a Model Y to another, so they may not be at all true for changing from one Model to another

Guess of the delivery estimates for each Model and Trim: These are the Tesla wait times for every model
