Hopefully our car is within this batch and they'll assign them soon so we have an ETA....

Holy crap. I hope this doesn’t mean that all M3s made in May will go abroad. That’s a lot more waiting. Awesome to see so many though.
Registering a VIN does not equal a production car is completed or even started.
Tesla registered 173K Model 3 VINs in Q1 2019. They only made 63K cars in Q1.
They have now registered ~400K Model 3 VINs, and have actually produced ~240K cars.
Another quick update...now April 30th and no VIN or delivery date as of yet. Other Canadians out there getting AWD versions delivered the past weeks?
I took delivery this past Wed, but they comped me 19" wheels to get me taken care of as it sounds like the 18" wheels are in short supply.
I was very happy with the car's condition - I couldn't spot any defects in the paint/trim/etc which is a general complaint I've seen. I haven't really seen so much as a slight panel misalignment, in line with previous car purchases. Now, I did have a cracked windshield which was probably a transportation problem, but they're going to replace that, and that shouldn't cause me any lasting issues. Only inconvenience is that I need to worry about getting an inspection sticker if they take too long, and having to have the sticker replaced.
They said the Blue/White cars are some of the most popular and they never stay around long in inventory.
Huh. I've been told it's not very common at all, and so they don't make it very much!
Still waiting on any update on mine, ordered 3/27.
There is a way to figure this out, best source of data is the order tracking spreadsheet. A quick pivot table can give us an idea of what color combos are the most popular.
Based on the data, blue is definitely the most popular exterior color, but the blue/white seat combo is not a popular choice. It is the 2nd most popular combo when choosing white seats, though. I'm surprised at how unpopular white seats are, they are amazing, IMO.
Top Exterior Colour
1. Deep Blue - 861
2. Midnight Silver - 841
3. Red - 711
4. White - 646
3. Solid Black - 640
Top Color/Seat Combo
1. Midnight Silver/Black Seats - 745
2. Deep Blue/Black Seats - 711
4. Red/Black Seats - 572
3. Solid Black/Black Seats - 565
4. White/Black Seats - 482
Top Color/White Seat Combo
1. White/White Seats - 150
2. Deep Blue/White Seats - 142
3. Red/White Seats - 120
Not that the above is for ALL orders. If you want to filter it down further to just LR AWD (since this is what this thread is all about), the numbers do change and then you can make the case that when you choose white seats on a LR AWD, the blue/white combo is the most popular option:

I was doing a little research with the model 3 surveys tonight and it sure seems like what I was reading in the performance waiting room is true: looks like colors other than red and white are getting VINs and delivery dates. Hopefully, a batch is underway or on its way. It didn't seem to matter which config I looked at, it seemed like white and red were less likely to have VINs or to have scheduled delivery dates.
Red or white exterior or red exterior/white interior? Hopefully they get cooking on meeting demand either which way.

I guess I was largely looking white interior since it seems like I’ve seen people waiting for these. It seemed to confirm what people were say that red and white exteriors on white interior cars were lagging in production. Maybe I’ll download the data, if I can, and try to see what delivery timeframes are by build config.
That's odd... I had originally ordered 19s and waited about 2 months. They offered my 18s instead and told me 19s were not available. This was early last week. I have taken delivery since then and got the 18s. Black on black AWD.
Ordered 30 Apr. Reservation holder since Apr of 16 not that it matters.
Blue AWD with FSD and 18's. Let's see how long I wait.

Black interior, not long I'd wager. There are some scattered throughout the interior. White, though? Hopefully only a few weeks (and I say this as that's my order and I'm waiting impatiently)
Waiting since 3/3 for AWD to Vancouver, BC. No VIN or other info yet.
Looks like I got a new car assigned to me over my demo. They said the car might have been damaged in transit and they offered me a new car. Cool to be able to pay demo pricing for a new car
