From what electrik said, his DS told him that he was getting his refresh before they were building them for the stores. I think last he posted his was in transit. If anyone is unfamiliar with his story he got bumped to the front of the line due to his health situation. The story is upthread a few pages back.

From pieces things together I expect the refresh build order is:
1) electrik's car
2) a number of cars for the stores
3) domestic refresh orders placed late March through April
4) overseas orders for the same time period

Pictures taken of the refresh cars seen in stores show some poor fit to the hood and fenders on some of them. I suspect those were cars built to the old look and hand modified in a rework shop so they could have a few to show off and for the promo photographs. It also looks like most if not all of the refresh cars reworked were 70s.

That's just my speculation.

My story is here for anyone interested:
Model S Delivery Update

My status hasn't changed yet... still in transit. My Tesla service center called me yesterday for no apparent reason other than to see how things were going. My Delivery Specialist was on vacation this week so I didn't want to bug him too much. When the service center called I asked the girl if she could see whether it was on a truck or train, and she couldn't see which one it was. She called back a little later and said that she was escalating it to try and find out more details. I told her it wasn't that big of a deal, but she insisted on doing it. She called again a little later last night saying that everyone she tried to reach were already out of the office. So I'm guessing I won't here back until Monday, which I'll email my Delivery Specialist then as well. He normally responds to my emails pretty quick.

My order was on 4/8, confirmation and VIN of 1390xxx on 4/15, production Queue on 4/17, production was 4/28-5/3 and now, My Tesla page says "your Tesla build has been complete and is In transit from the factory" Estimated due date is now 5/11-5/25. I'm on the East coast.
I ordered on 4/8 before the announcement of the refresh but was given the free refresh since I was in the window before order confirm.
My DS is not sure if my S is in transit by rail or truck. I'll post pics as soon as I take delivery.

Wow that's very cool of tesla. I confirmed 3 days after u but waiting on production notice. Congrats mate.
 
Oooh strange yesterday I got an update showing the two week delivery timeline, but now it's saying it's complete and in transit. Not really ready for delivery yet. Have to speed up my timeline!

Build time was 4 days!?

Others must be built this quickly too if mine was this quick.
 
Yay! That's the color I have on the way. I cannot stand this waiting!

The Midnight Silver is quite an interesting color for sure. It looks very different in the sun vs a cloudy day or in the garage.
Also the appearance changes with the angle of the sun. I have been told there are some blue, purple and silver tones in the
metal flake that are visible to folks with better color vision than mine.

Being color blind it is a very nice color and appears to me to be "sophisticated". I am sure all the other colors are nice too.

Greetings from Silicon Valley...

Order placed: Apr 30
Confirmed: May 8th
VIN: 1428xx
Expected delivery: Late May - June (Picking up in Fremont)

Ordered as a 70D, but I've requested the upgrade to 75D, still awaiting confirmation that it's been changed.

Interesting they seem to be accelerating 70/75s this month. You ordered 5 days after me and you have a VIN more than 600 more than me and it looks like you're ahead of me in the production queue. They told me my car will enter production the last week of May.
