Got a phone call from an OA last night to confirm details, e.g. financing or not, trade in or not, etc. Tried to get more details but he could not be sure.
1. Not sure if you'll get it before end of this year.
2. If you want to change colors - that's a whole new order so you'll wait longer
3. If you want to change owners - e.g. my brother gets it, do it before you get the VIN
4. Fremont pick up would be faster (obviously) but still won't guarantee you'll get it before end of the year.
5. He couldn't predict when the standard range would be available.
Hope this helps others.
