Yes, possibly
The current scheduled pickup time is at 5pm. I will go around 3:30 so I can see the car while it's still light outside. By 5pm it will be all dark.

Black w/ White Int.

no EAP
Ordered 10/22 with no notification for delivery.
We're seeing a lot nervousness in here! I know we want the cars sooner but they said 6-10 weeks. With delivery usually ~2-3 weeks out from notification it has been promising that we've seen any deliveries yet and there's no reason to think you won't get your car by 12/31 if you ordered in October.
I try to see the upside in things so here's a potential silver lining if there are real delays: Cash flow is Tesla's primary motivator right now. Considering you can cancel prior to a VIN assignment, Tesla is highly motivated to get you matched to a car. So much so that if you don't have a VIN by early December you may find them trying to match inventory cars (LR/AWD/different configurations) with discounts/extras offered to offset the price hike. Win-win.
Also, considering logistical concerns with weather in December I'd expect east coast white interior configurations to see their orders filled first. If you're out west they can likely get you a car within a few days from the production line so they'd delay those deliveries to ensure the east coast orders get filled.

White interior orders, relax. No one with an MR white interior order has heard anything. Give it until the first week of December to start stressing out. I'm waiting patiently, too.
This is my exact configuration, I ordered on 10/26, no reservation either. I'm in California though. This at least means they are producing M3s with this configuration and have doled at least one out to a non reservation holder. This is the first hopeful sign I've seen for my situation. But just to confirm, yours for sure is an MR right?
lol so you ordered 5 days after me and have a special color and ive heard nothing... great

Just looked at all the delivery confirmation inputs on the spreadsheet yesterday and today... almost all are East Coast reservations MA, MD and VA. A few non-reservations snuck in. Mostly black and MSM's and all black seats. It's clear Tesla is making things right for the reservation holders and people who might have long transport times. I am guessing about 2000 confirmations are going out as we speak. I anticipate if you are midwest, you'll hear by next week and West Coast probably last week of the month.
Do you think they’ll shift to white interior for east coast before shifting to west coast?

Not sure. I am guessing they'll build them about the same time but ship and notify the East Coasters first. I have a feeling most West Coasters will get their vehicles near Christmas time frame.
I ordered 10/18 and received that email as well. I am concerned but also ordered red in So Cal.
YES. I ordered within hours of announcement on the 18th - black/white int/aero/no EAP/all cash. Live in Cleveland and day 1 reservation holder at time of reveal. I ended up changing my color from black to blue within 24 hours. I was worried that screwed me but my local Tesla handler called me a couple days later and said not to worry. Then I got the "updated" order agreement on 10/30 totally out of the blue which showed price increase for MR but no change in my total owed.
Crickets over here - I know I shouldn't be worried about the white interior choice, but damn, I'm starting to regret it now.
ah ok. I want to pick it up at a SC but they have it set to delivery to my house. I wonder if they will be flexible in changing it. closest to me is rockville or tysons
I ordered before the price change, but didnt get the email, no delivery date yet
I just checked my account and have a delivery date for 11/25 at Mt. Kisco!!!!
