Not yet! There’s no MCR (Red/20/Black)!:D

OK, Ski, this is it! Either we both get ours at the same time or...not. However, IIRC both of us are taking delivery in the area most served through the Birmingham railhead. So, it is just possible that there are a flood of our cars arriving there now. We therefore will hear good news within the next week or so.

(If hope can constitute reality the preceding statement is true)
 
Has anyone in here actually called Tesla to ask basically... WTF?
Yes, but only Delivery Specialists who are mad with volumes of M3 RWD's to deliver. They haven't any clues. My suspicion is that only production specialists really know. The only reasonable inference is that production has been batches, which made all the white interiors and P3D/P3D+ on a single line while black interiors stayed RWD.
Obviously we conservative people who don't want to drive a Shamu imitation are stuck waiting.

Nope. P- are coming with black -- in fact, all but three recently reported P- have come with black.

Reported VINs to date: 18 P- black; 3 P- white; 23 P+ white; 0 P+ black.

I plan to swap the interior to red as soon as I get mine. I had BMW Z4 that was Alpine White with red interior and I loved it. Not my picture, but it looked like this:

In any case, I've reached out to a friend who is a Tesla engineer. Not sure if he knows anything or allowed to say anything, but I'm getting desperate :p
 
Day 48 of waiting for me since ordering... Pessimistick day 82 for him... I seriously need something to happen this week. Car limbo is making me cranky, and also the people who want to buy my current vehicle from me.
On a positive note, what's 80+ days on top of the 780+ I waited before that. =D

Also, the new WoW expansion launches tonight and I took the rest of the week off, so I'll be thinking about it less, haha.

Im thinking about Fred Lamberts Canadian P3D+ that was assigned a VIN and scheduled for production this week. Its got black interior. Surely they aren't just going to make one car, just for the editor of a media outlet who lives in another country, and then switch back to white interior.

If they do, that's really messed up. So.... this really SHOULD be the week this variant rolls out.

Come on Tesla! we are gonna need a 12 step program over here for this VIN checking addiction.

That was funny... Thanks for that mental image every time i see a white interior in a black car.

I didn't realize I was editing my car into the unicorn configuration that isnt being built, or maybe I would have thought harder about it.

Day 1 line waiter in VA, previous owner reservation - config AWD 5/23, edited to P+/black 8/6. After original config, estimated delivery was 12-16 weeks. After edits, was Sep-Nov.

Went to test drive P3D today, had a blast and got excited, came home and est. delivery is now showing Oct-Dec. Sigh.

I am in the same boat with the exception of being a previous owner. I did about the same steps you did with the configuration but I made my last change on July 14th to final P3D+ Black Interior with Blue paint. My timeline says Aug-Oct. IMHO, I think your car will be delivered about the same time as mine despite your later configuration. Tysons has the slowest delivery time according to the sampling from the community spreadsheets so we have that to look forward to.
