Is the AMD and the lithium battery worth the wait? I also chose cash as payment option but would like to do financing instead. Would that delay the order and maybe I'll get assigned a new vin?
No VIN so far, OD 12/14 picking up in SoCal.
No VIN as well, picking up in SoCal. OD 11/4
Whats "worth it" or not depends on the individual. I am going to re direct you to the following thread to ask that question or read up on peoples opinions on that:

Um... Mods have already stated that criticism of others' plans to defer delivery to get the car they want isn't a thing they're tolerating. Maybe consider taking this down or just letting this go? Yeah, a few others have mentioned this. If Mods wish to remove it that's fine, but as the...

The reason I am doing that is, there are two camps on this, and it turns into a lot of "back and forth".
Changing your payment from cash to financing would not automatically make you get a new vin, unless you release that one for some reason by telling them you dont want it.

That’s whack lol. Did you notice any issues with yours? I’m waiting on DCU to mail out the check, said they would Friday but with the New England storms they didn’t work today! Hope they’ll mail it out Monday overnight so it gets to Tesla by my 2/2 pickup!

I have used lithium iron (LiFeP04) batteries in a handful of applications. One caveat: if allowed to completely discharge they can be ruined. While it’s also not great to completely discharge a lead/acid or AGM battery, they do usually bounce back reasonably well after a full discharge.
Is there anything special about these new Tesla 12v batteries to protect against that? I don’t know the scenarios that might lead to a completely dead battery, but I assume it can happen. And replacement lithium iron batteries ain’t cheap.

From my limited understanding, I think the LiFe batteries are used for the main drive (high voltage) and the 12V battery is either AGM or lithium ion. As of now, only standard model 3 gets the LiFe.

Damn I have 153 going to release. We mentioned this earlier in the post looks like the NY/NJ area has a lot of low VIN's still floating around. Mine is MSM/White hopefully that is rare and I get a high VIN this time around.

My guess is that I'll be assigned a vin in a day or two, AND I must take delivery this time or the order gets cancelled. Hoping for Ryzen and Li-ion, but if it's Intel and regular 12V battery, I'll still take it.

Yes, probably a number of things protect against that. First, software, second, the 12V is fed from a DC/DC converter, third, the battery itself likely has a BMS that will disconnect it if the charge gets too low, which would only happen if the DC/DC failed.
The 12V lithium battery is NMC not LiFe.
