Trying to get a handle on this as well my number is P 5810 with 60 kW and air suspension. If they are starting March 1 with the new red wont we start to see them delivered about two weeks after that?

If they start on March 1, sure. But March may mean, unfortunately, March 15 or March 30. Or even April if there is a glitch. Plus there are other cars interspersed. 40kWh builds that have been on hold, non-air suspension vehicles, later reservation numbers in all configurations and, maybe, European deliveries (depending on when those start).
I hope you're right and they crank out a big batch of reds right at the beginning of March but I'm optimistically hoping for an early to mid-April delivery. I'm pretty sure I read about someone who signed the paperwork immediately after the red was available got a Mar/April estimate.

There's nothing more here to complicate production here than a change in the paint color. So I don't think there will be too many delays if any.
It's to give the Signature folks a few months of exclusivity with no other competing red Model S. Also I have heard they can only do two multi-layer colours at once--I don't know if that's actually correct though.
Unless they need to swap out another color to run the red ... like the Sig Red. They shouldn't need to but I don't know the details of the paint line.

Just saw the Sunset Red at Lincoln Road
Just got back from the Lincoln road store. I gave my test drive to a guy with a reservation that hadn't finalized yet. I'm a "blue car" guy.BUT, the Sunset Red is STUNNING. Just gorgeous. It's so nice some of the Sig Red folks are gonna be jealous. If you're on the fence and you don't get to see it, just go ahead and you will not be sorry. I took some less than perfect iPhone pics that I'll post here if there's any interest, or just PM me and I'll email them.
EDIT: Oh By the way. They had the rear facing seats installed and I don't need them. If you do, I think they're pretty darn cool. Kids only except in a real pinch but pretty darn neat. I took a couple pics that don't really do them justice but you can see them also if you wish.

Yes. It was an 85 non P. It had the alcantara and was quite nice.
Probably more a matter of taste as far as the light color with the pano but I thought it was very nice.

Why was it roped off? I've only ever been to Santana Row, but you can crawl all over their cars.

Not sure. I never asked, nor was it mentioned. I DID get the distinct impression that either one of us,or both would have been allowed to "crawl allover it" if we had asked. We just didn't.In all truth, I really just wanted to experience a Tesla store. That's why I gave my test drive slot away to a res holder who had not finalized yet. My feeling is: the initial process is done and though I continue to gather volumes of info on this forum, I will be crawling all over MY MS soon enough. Again, I truly felt that at any time the store employees (who couldn't have been nicer btw) would have immediately moved the ropes and allowed touchy feely stuff.
I've seen them roped off and not. Santana Row, nope. Westchester, yes. DC, nope. Not sure what the difference was. When I told the guys at Westchester that I was a reservation holder they let me spend as much time in the car as I wanted. I'm sure they would have done the same thing if I didn't have a reservation.
Hey guys. I just started a spreadsheet to track multi-red orders. The main thread is on the production/delivery forum, but I thought I'd post a link to it here as well.
