Since there was no update, I reached out to Tesla customer service via "chat" on their homepage. Explained the situation and was assured that I would receive a call back with more info soon. Received a call back within a few hours from customer service rep and was assured that I should receive a VIN within a week from today. Also, she explained that Pearl white is currently on backorder and the site will need to be updated accordingly (in other words, the delivery estimate is NOT 2 weeks). In the meanwhile, got this bad boy up and ready for the car (when it arrives).On 8/10, Ordered Pearl White Multi-Coat, 18 inch Aero, Model 3 LR AWD, Premium Interior (no fsd). I was at the showroom yesterday and upon inquiry, I was told (very honestly) that there may be a wait for about 2 to 3 more weeks (max). However, If I was ok with a black exterior he can get one assigned to me fairly quickly and at NO additional price ($750?). For now, I think I ok okay with the wait (and appreciated the honesty). I guess, this has to do with the recent launch in NZ and Europe (Poland, Hungary, Romania & Slovenia), etc.
