Haha exact same situation for me! I wanted the Performance but was trying to convince myself to spend the money on it. After the LR price went up, the delta between the two got smaller and I ordered before the Performance had a chance to go up as well.
Agree with this, I actually had a LR in before the price increase but knew I wanted a performance the whole time I was afraid they would increase the price of the performance shortly after. When I factored in that I’d probably add boost immediately the price was a little easier to justify.
The reason I am trying to delay is for the first time in 10 cars, I will have actually paid off my previous one. And Id like to go 5 or 6 months without a payment. So I didnt fill out all of the steps, and then might delay for 90 days if they try to deliver. More money for down on top of the trade in.

Yes, that's normal. Although your April time frame is a roll of the dice.
All,
Wanted to post an update. Might be slightly long but want to help the rest of the community out.
I sold my 2018 M3LR, Blue with Black interior(enhanced autopilot) for $44k and 25k miles on the odometer. As referenced above, I placed my order online on 02/10 for the M3P as it said that the delivery date was in March. However, once the order was placed it moved to April 21-May 19 and didn’t move at all. The price that I was getting from a local dealer was too good to pass up and I sold on 02/28. The last two weeks proved to me that I’m finding it incredibly difficult to mange day to day activities without a car.
I wasn’t assigned a SA so I went to my local Tesla showrooms to talk to someone. Since it’s the end of the quarter and they are ramping up deliveries(in addition to the fact that I had waited a month already with no movement) I was asked to check in each day to see if there were any in allocated vehicles(that could be cancelled orders, people refusing delivery at this point etc). They asked me if I was flexible on my configuration and I told them I was. If these vehicles are not allocated to someone at the end of the day, they are automatically allocated to the next person in line for that config so this list changes day to day.
I checked in everyday for a week until this Saturday when I went back into the store. Lo and behold, there was someone who had cancelled their order for a White M3P with White interior because they went and bought a Mercedes. I had initially ordered a black interior because that’s my preference but the fact that everything else matched was too good to pass up. The SA at the store and the manager were able to quickly match my account to the vehicle and a VIN was assigned. Delivery date has been set to 03/21 and financing/insurance was a breeze because I decided to go with Tesla’s options(Tesla insurance and Tesla Finance-Through Wells Fargo).
Wanted to post this so that it could be helpful for those who place an online order like me. If you can go into a store and place the order in person(you are automatically allocated a SA at that location). It is easier for visibility and you show up on their roster. And if you’ve already placed an order online(and waited a month or so), I would encourage you to talk to someone at your local Tesla store to see if they can match you with any unallocated inventory on that day in your region. This is my second Tesla and the online SA always seems to reach out when your config is being built so 5-10 days out from shipping from Fremont. Please keep in mind that you may have to be flexible about the config.
I’m buzzing albeit slightly worried about how the white interior is going to be in terms of maintenance. But onwards and upwards! I will post pictures and comments once I take delivery.
Thanks, thought maybe I was missing something. In addition to the basic dice roll, I'll be taking delivery via Carrier Direct, so I'm sure that'll tack on some additional time.

What color exterior/interior? My guess is you won't see it till June at the least....

I doubt it will slow down sales too much because the market is a mess. Most dealer outside of Tesla are charging dealer markups on popular vehicles. Even Hyundai and Kia are typically asking $10-20K markup on their popular EV vehicles and I know most Ford dealers want markup on the Mach-E.
I believe the big increase in Nickel prices might be driving these price increases which means other EV makers will be facing the same issues.
Nickel prices soar 90% to new record high on worries about shortages from major supplier Russia
Nickel reached $55,000 a metric ton in London, and the jump of more than $26,000 marked the biggest one-day dollar gain ever.

My delivery is now scheduled for Tuesday, 3/22. Definitely faster turn around for team red! Hope all goes well with you too!
Woke up feeling blessed that I ordered a few days prior
