If you are getting configuration/color you want, don’t wait. Nobody can tell you accurately whether/when more are coming.

I'm settling (on black) - i wanted white (which i had a configuration for) but when went to reserve, my luck, was gone (same day).
at this point, black, grey or white and i'm gtg
Exactly.
There are a few threads around about guys that had a SR guarantee them a P3D- in the future, just to be disappointed.
I hesitated on exactly the car I wanted for 16 hours. I ended up having to go with my third choice of exterior color and second choice of interior color. My only regret is hesitating and not getting exactly the car I wanted.
Do it. Now. Before you can't.

Yes, as long as it is the car you actually want, and you're ok with the extra cost of buying early, probably best to buy given the uncertainty here.
Depends on when your lease is up of course. If it's next month or two, yeah, just buy. If it's 6 months away, I'd definitely wait!
My bet is these will continue to be available, but in the end, I'm just guessing. It is certainly not guaranteed.
I wouldn't settle, unless you actually don't care. Again, depends on the timeframe in question. If it's just a month on your lease, you have relatively little time to find what you want (unless you have backup transportation). If you've got a few months, you could take your chances.
In the end it's just gambling since no one really knows when/whether they will make more P3D-. Personally I wouldn't get a color I didn't want.
Don't regret. In the end you got the best color combo there is. You'll come around.

The increased interest is a result of lower pricing for a M3P-. If they put it on the menu they would sell a lot more of them but they probably don't because they would lose sales of the M3P+. The mistake Tesla is making is that they are only charging $2k more for the P- upgrade. IMO, they could easily get $3,500 for the performance software unlock and track mode. What else delivers this level of performance for less than $60k?

At 2K I ordered it immediately. At 3.5k I’d have just gone with the AWD. Assuming there is no price difference in parts, that was 2K they wouldn’t have had. And I wouldn’t have regretted saving 3.5k. However. I’d spend that 2k
again in a heart beat. So much fun.
What if you would have test drove it first and then had to decide?
$1500 more when you are spending 50k already is nothing when it comes to performance. Folks drop $1500 on an after market exhaust to pickup 5 horsepower. You picked up 100hp/100lb ft of torque for $2k. Crazy cheap when you think about it that way. On an ICE based vehicle you would need a supercharger for $10k to pickup that kind of power.I wish Telsa would just list these P- cars on the web page if it will drive more sales. They just increased the P+ a $1000 after a $5k drop post tax credit change. Capturing enthusiasts is important for Tesla as we tend to be the most educated about the car and wind up being the best extended sales force for the company.
Would be great to know when you get your car if it has a July built date or an August one. Please report back, August build would prove they made more / more are coming.
