Umm...if past history repeats, then yes, previous Tesla owners will indeed get preference initially. That is exactly what they did with Model 3. Don't know about Model Y.

Spoken like a true Texan. But don't you worry, as soon as my fiancee finishes law school we're outta here
I just read an article on Electrek stating single motor first then dual motor then tri-motor. I’d have thought the other way around—which is disappointing.
It appears the article was updated in Sept 2020.
Tesla Cybertruck: Price, release date, range, etc - Electrek
That article has the dates backwards. If you go to Tesla's website, it says single motor will be late 2022 and dual motor and tri motor will be late 2021.

Thanks I thought this was the case but just came across the enclosed article and, well, started to feel a bit disappointed.
I’m starting to get anxious for an update, and how the ordering completion process will look.
I’m around the 700th tri-motor reservation based on the tracking sheet, but being in Canada who knows what that actually means .

Folks, a friendly bit of advice.
Trying to game your place in the reservation line is a fools errand. Looking for constant updates and information, while understandable, is a waste of energy and only leads to high levels of anxiety. (Trust me, I went through 30 months of it waiting for my Model 3.) Nearly drove me crazy.
My advice is to forget you ever made the reservation. Get a hobby. Get a new girlfriend. Something. Just put it out of your mind. Before you know it that giant rolling wedge of heaven will be in your garage and all will be well.

Previous owners did get some priority on their previous introductions. I believe S owners could get an X faster than non-owners although I wanted several months before I got my X. But I do recall getting my 3 faster than most other people because of owner priority and proximity to the factory.Except the CT is going to be made in Texas, not California. Tesla gave Roadster owners early access to the Model S but after that it's been on their own algorithms. Highest profit margin, shortest shipping times, configurations for which they have the parts on hand, etc.
After they do all of that segmentation, then they will assign cars based on reservation order.
So come on in, the water's fine
Does Tesla prioritize making sure their dealer showrooms have a floor model to show? Just wondering how soon I will get to see the CT in-person after completed vehicles start rolling out of the factory.

First, Tesla does not have dealers. The showrooms typically don't have examples until quite a while after they start customer deliveries. What has happened in the past was early owners made their cars available to perspective owners for inspection/test drives. Some very early examples also typically show up on Turo for rent before they show up in the showrooms.

You will have a hard time finding one in a showroom for a while. Best bet would be to find an owner event near you with someone that bring to let's say a Supercharger. I did this with my 3 and had people travel pretty far to take a look. I even let strangers drive my car without paying. Imagine the money I could have made. JK. I find the Turo thing on letting people try a car just ugh. Very glad to let others try. After all its not a museum piece. It's a truck. Well actually its both.
