I agree…. If they had matching inventory cars to your spec, they would likely come up on the search page for new inventory on the model s order page. I too am in the same situation having to confirm by the 12th and will likely confirm on Friday 11th to be sure it is confirmed a few days early.

Literally in the same boat. I'm getting antsy and want to release the hold tomorrow but am debating whether I should just wait a week to be as sure as possible I'll get the new stuff. I've waited 9+ months and somehow don't have the patience to wait another week.

The answers to these problems depend on how much you two want the new lights. If you are (on a scale of 1 to 10) like a 7/10 to a 10/10, and really want the lights, then waiting longer is unquestionably the best option IMO. If it is less on your priority list, then things may change.
I am in a similar situation, but I removed the hold at the beginning of this month. I want the new headlights for sure, but if I am assigned an old one, I will still take it given the $17K discount I received. I don't want to jeopardize my order.Thanks for the quick reply @EndlessPlaid . Much appreciated!! Yes, that makes total sense to wait as long as possible. I am just kinda worried if they would match locally with someones rejected "older" MS LR, but I guess we can only hope. I will keep you all posted!!
BTW, I am Team Black Appliqué!!! Thanks for your keen eyes!!!
For when to release your hold, I agree that if you wait longer, it is less likely to get an old one. However, since the difference is only a few days, it is more by luck. For example, let's assume someone was assigned an old VIN, scheduled to be delivered next Friday, and will reject it. For this case, if you get a VIN by Friday, you are safe. If you get a VIN after Friday, it is hard to tell.
I wonder whether how long to wait depends on the delivery location.
For example, if you live farther away from Fremont, you should wait longer because the current VINs assigned/available were shipped 2 weeks ago, so they have old lights. In contrast, if you live in the neighborhood of Fremont, probably the inventory was already exhausted.
cant hold order again per the email . Agree too risky to wait till last minute .

Sure, in five days he/she may be out on the discounted price as well. As I said, YOMV. Moving on…How on Earth is it just as likely to match with a reject today as it is five days from now???? They are actively clearing out inventory! The situation in 5 days may be quite different! Waiting maximizes @itsssr's chances.
If your order is for LR, I feel it is more likely to get the order canceled than getting the old headlight if you remove the hold too late.
IMO, Tesla should put the rejected cars into inventory instead of assigning them to existing orders under this circumstance. If someone wants a car immediately and does not care about the lights, they can just call in to match or put an order.

Yeah, I do… Moving on…How would they be out on it??? Ok, then they can do at noon on the 12th! Still improves chances! It's not like it just disappears on ya lol! You really think Tesla is that shady lol? Especially if you play it right like doing it 4-8 hours earlier on the 12th.

If it fell of the truck I’d be asking for a lot bigger discount than just 5k… just sayin
Sorry, MSM + cream is the only way to go! It’s a demo because its the best marketing package.

Personally I think the white with white interior is a real zinger in terms of sex appeal, but everyone will have a different opinion on this. I’m still a sucker for a black interior.

How else you going to know what the "T" stands for?
Good that you guys like it - do not think Tesla will change either way. Just a difference of opinion.
Well, now Tesla has put a "hold" on me!
EDD was in a couple of weeks now April 5th to May 3rd..

My guess is that the interior color does not matter to you for that one...
Similar change for me, EDD held steady at 3/19-3/31 for over a month and then moved this am to 4/5-5/3.
@chrisdh79 - did this happen for you too?
Looks like I’ll also miss this quarter. EDD moved from 3/19-3/31 to 4/11-5/9. 10/12 order date.
