Like I said in my first post I'm driving a 22 year old car so any headlights are an improvement. I was thinking the same thing as you originally about the delivery date but right now my EDD is July which is about a month before the EDD of performance so in my opinion that's nbd since these can change at a moments notice. Personally if the lights are your big selling point I'd maybe wait and see for an official response of some sort from tesla before committing almost 8k to a different car.

Do it and join the club!*also kicking around the idea of changing to a P instead of a LR.

Scheduled delivery for May 5
Where are you located? Sorry I still can't see signatures in the app (even in landscape)
Just got notified that there's a new service center in Aurora, CO from which I'll be taking delivery. Glad they're still thinking about me (and have my new phone number!)
Took me awhile to figure out the difference! Went through a couple of YouTube comparisons and now see what to look for in a car but don’t think I could say “oh yeah that’s 100% a matrix headlight” based on the website/app pics.
Unfortunately Teslas Order Agreement gives them plenty of latitude to change:
“Opons, features or hardware released or changed aer you place your order may not be included in or available for your Vehicle.”
The whole situation is very strange mainly because it's a downgrade but in the same year. I know tesla doesn't do model years the same as other manufacturers but it's weird to think that they'll have q12022 with different lights then q2 2022. And what if they go back to matrix lights after a few months then it'll just be a giant headache when it comes to upgrades and valuation. Honestly I keep seeing a lot of posts of some guy who knows a guy that said this but very little picture or video proof to back it up. So tbh I'm a little skeptical of this whole situation
There isn’t any difference to refund though. I hope I’ll get a car with matrix headlights but if not I can’t expect a refund anymore than I expect Tesla to increase the price for the Ryzen chip (versus Intel which was what was being delivered at the time I ordered).
GUESS WHO GOTS THEIR VINS BABYYYY
Refreshed 10 times EDD got a nice 6 day squeeze and whambam VIN in the the source code

They did a similar thing with the Intel and Ryzen chips in the MYs. For a bit of time earlier this year they were shipping MYs with the older Intel chips again, and I think they have switching back to the Ryzen eventually. So there is hope that the matrix lights may come back again to the M3LR.
I'm sure it costs them differently to procure them, but tbh I'm just a bit disappointed by the lack of communication and the take it or leave it attitude.
I wish I could talk you out of it...if only I could afford it...go for it!*also kicking around the idea of changing to a P instead of a LR.

At these valuations you could flip this one and place another order and make about $8k...not sure when you ordered or what price you are locked in at.

I like your idea of waiting to see if I get a two-week EDD window before putting a hold. Odds are that my delivery will not be pushed forward to May and the outcome of a hold process is hard to predict.

VIN RECEIVED!
For all those who are skeptical of your car being able to arrive early, or those who think premium paint doesn't make a difference.
My OD was 4/16, I now have a VIN 247*** and a 5 day window. -Akron OH
FYI - I also kept the payment method as cash until today after I got my VIN now I will switch it to 3rd party financing. (if that makes a difference)

Ayyyyyyyy Akron in the house. My hometown! I live in Columbus now. We need to link up man...also if you need an excellent tint guy let me know. Quality work and guaranteed to be MUCH cheaper than the big shops! Congrats!!!
Emphasis mine. That caveat in the order agreement is Tesla clamping down on people who want to place their orders on hold because they've heard of some amazing future upgrade in the rumor mill.
It seems not applicable in this scenario - the retrograde installation of superseded parts to manage a temporary supply chain constraint (probably) - which instead may be covered by a statement reading something like "features or hardware when you placed your order may not be included in or available for your Vehicle."
