So the short answer is no. In 2005 I went to Bowling Green Kentucky for a factory pick up of my new Corvette. I got a private tour of the factory and watched how they built cars. On a single assembly line they are building coupes, convertibles - cars with over 11,000 possible different combinations. Today they have 2 motor options. Soon they will be adding a hybrid version with an electric motor up front. ALL on the single assembly line. Teslas are about as simple as you get with limited options. So your staging concern is misplaced. A Corvette has more options on just seats and interior color options, than the entire Model X. A X Plaid has red brake calipers with different pads. Exact same method to build. They use different brake fluid - exact same way to build. Only interior difference is carbon fiber trim vs wood - seats all the same (5-6 or 7) - same build. The dual motor assembly in the rear might add some time to the assembly. Just like the Z06 Corvette does. Thus, they stagger the builds. There is NOT a lot more than just the preassembled rear drivetrain - I wish there was.

No. It seems random based on your reservation updates. It is probably automatic system updates based on several factors.

The used car market overall is starting to collapse. Lots of repo's, voluntary turn in's and auction go backs. The used car high prices of old are starting to fall. Experts predicting the luxury market for used cars are going to have epic drops in value with an overall general drop in value in other other price points. Budget vehicles will retain value or potentially rise due to more customers wanting cheaper cars in this economy/inflation/energy prices.

Got my VIN PF4307XX updated EDD3 as of 22 December with new window of Jan 7 -14. Original order date was October 22, so exactly 60 days from order to VIN.

I've got to think the '24's will have some update. If this was like normal years with no change then they wouldn't need to shut down the line to switch from 23 to 24. But given that they kept producing 23 till now and all the Jan EDD are pushed to late Jan/Early Feb to start, I'm thinking there's a factory shut down necessary to switch from 23 to 24 which would indicate some change to the car. And that would explain why they kept pushing 23's till end of Dec so they wouldn't need to have the shutdown in the 4th Qtr affecting deliveries
