I ordered 10/20 black w/ white interior. I have not heard anything. I am assigned to West Palm Beach Florida which is 3 hours away. Anyways I called the 1-800 number and the Tesla rep told me that I might be better if switching to black interior but the order change would take 1 week to go into affect. I think it’s best to hold fast to white at this point.

I think you’re right. CS is all over the place. I had one of them tell me to not change.
I’ve been waiting for an order change I requested over three weeks ago. I would warn against changes at this point even with Elon’s tweet.
Contacted my DA about something today and he gave me my VIN, even though it's still not listed on the account page. 5YJ3E1EA5JF1536xx
I choose black interior on my Blue M3 and me and my wife where kicking ourself why didn't we choose white interior on the first place.. Given the Elon's tweet today I went ahead and changed my config from black to white.. I'm going to live with this M3 for a very long time and I don't want to feel any regrets each time I drive it..
Given 3rd party white seats are more than $1000 bucks to buy and install I think the tesla price is a steal.. I have not got VIN assigned yet I can wait 1 more additional week if we get what we like..

Picked up Blue Lemur this morning at Fremont Delivery Center. Black interior, Aero wheels, no EAP. Reserved 3/31/2016; ordered 10/18/2018; order date modified by Tesla to 10/30/2018. Waited about half an hour past appointed time to be greeted by advisor. I was out of there about an hour later. Good thing I took a test drive a few months ago and read the owner's manual ahead of time. Basically, the orientation today consisted of, "here's your key cards; step on the brake to turn on the car; pull down on the shift lever to go into Drive; pull up to go into Reverse; push button on lever to go into Park; push and hold button to engage parking brake". 
I wish they had kept the white center console. It looks so much better plus it won’t show fingerprints like the gloss black console will.
@Mattio2187 Same text on Nov 4,no follow up email from Meloni. I have her until yesterday and I followed up.
I also received an email on the 13th from a Tesla Rep in CA that was letting my know my delivery date, no new info there.
No VIN or final docs. Hoping for more info next week.

Kenrico and RPM Tesla sells the white console wrap. I have it and now just need the car to install it
Wonder if I'll go for a console wrap. Like the polished black too but more afraid about the minor scuff marks highly polished surfaces pickup even with careful use. But then again, a tiny amount of polish should smooth those out...
Like the delivery estimate change. Went through the order page for a car exactly as i ordered and all the way to the end it says "December Delivery" an no longer shows number of weeks.
Now, of course, one can say this is for new car orders since the announcement on twitter and does not apply retroactively
Everything can be interpreted multiple ways.What is your opinion on it so far?Picked up Blue Lemur this morning at Fremont Delivery Center. Black interior, Aero wheels, no EAP.

In addition to scratches, it shows every fingerprint and spec of dust. Just something to consider if that will bother you.
Did they say anything about the email on 10/30? Guess that didn’t make a difference. I am in the same boat.Picked up Blue Lemur this morning at Fremont Delivery Center.

I called Tesla today to switch from their financing to 3rd party. I have my delivery date, but I don't have a VIN (and can't see it by viewing the page source). The IDA I spoke with (I have yet to speak to my actual one) was kind enough to provide my VIN to me.
I guess my car does exist!

Because half of the group ordered white interior and we are being sad with nothing to say.
#truth. Does the news about hauling and new delivery promos date mean white interior cars will be delivered?

When I received that email, I called the 800 number and the person I spoke to assured me not to worry and that my priority had not changed and that I would definitely get my car before year-end. He checked my order on his end and it still showed 10/18 as the date I ordered (after all, there's a financial record of my $2500 deposit on that date). Interestingly, my MVPA shows 10/18. My guess is that the bogus date change doesn't really make a difference.
