I'm going to start trying to make a stink to Tesla. 18 months is too long to wait to get a car and people who ordered long after me are getting theirs. I am a loyal Tesla customer and have taken every car I have ever ordered from them. I feel like I should get some preferential treatment.

No, I didn't get an email saying my order will be cancelled. I was able to directly correspond with my local delivery team and they unmatched me and sent my EDD to blank for nearly a month until I got this very late EDD that has stuck around for nearly 2 months now. I guess there might not have actually done the hold yet and you're getting emails that won't apply if they actually send your order to purgatory with mine.

I think they are fairly practical in their prioritization....
Meaning - purchase price and the budgettng margins. The earlier the order, the lower the profit margin, right? --> hold is keep same price and priority?
If you look at the price increases, it appears the % increase is proportional to estimated delivery date which is proportional to popularity. PRACTICAL hahaha
As I see some orders in the east and Midwest start to get pushed back, the timing seems to be right as Tesla begins to shift deliveries to the west coast. Hoping mine will hold and after 17 months I will actually get my car. Let’s see if that proves true. No VIN yet 
I dont think you should get preferential treatment, I think Tesla should just implement a fair process of addressing their order backlog and clearing out the first orders that came in. I get the profit / margin perspective of building the most profitable vehicles right away, but at some point they have to bite the bullet and crank these out. And this is coming from someone who ordered a MX Plaid with FSG and "should" get my MX in August. That doesnt seem right or fair to me.
Whops. I thought i had replied with this exact message, but i looked at my postings and apparently i never posted it. Glad you got it figured out.

The only downside to doing this is that you will be under immense pressure to accept the car immediately without inspecting it. When they arrive, the Delivery rep will likely have already called an Uber to pick them up and take them back to their office. But they cannot technically leave until you click Accept in the App. So they can/will fuss and grump at you to accept delivery so they can leave. They will tell you that any issues you find can be fixed under warranty, yadda, yadda. They will tell you that you have 100 miles to report cosmetic things. So after they drop it off, inspect it closely, take pictures of anything that is amiss, and schedule a service appointment for those items immediately.
Quality has seemed to have gotten a lot better in the last few months so you'll probably be ok. But in general, you have more time to inspect at a Delivery Center because the staff aren't held up from working on other things while you crawl around your car. When we did our pickup in Kansas City, they just threw us a key fob and said come back in when you're ready to sign the paperwork. We crawled all over and inside the thing for 30 mins. Probably could have driven it but didn't think to do so. Ours was an end of Q1 car so I was nervous but it was in fantastic shape.

Happened to a friend, he actually paid his off by the time his car was delivered. They updated it after he got his VIN
Encountered the same situation if you look at my previous postings. Looks like Tesla recently changed the policy for holding an order, at least for orders with old prices. Was told the decision to flag my order was made by the corporate team that there is no way to change it. Tried order support as well as the local store. No luck. I ended up pushed back my business trip and removed the hold by the deadline and then got a vin within hours. I guess it’s their strategy to cancel the old orders so that they can sell the same car for a higher price. So unfortunately, I would suggest you to try your best to take the delivery.

this has been covered multiple times but 1800+ pages is a lot to go through. here's what i can share from my own experience.
sept 13, 2021 white/cream long range 7 seats ordered
may 10, 2022 changed from 7 to 6 seats
the order agreement date changed from sept to may '22
my EDD was originally april '22 before any changes, then july '22. then i did the seat change.
then EDD changed to dec '22 - apr '23 just like many people experienced.
then EDD changed to aug - oct '22 just like many people
then EDD back to dec '22 - apr '23 just like many people
and now sitting at aug 20, 2022 - october 15, 2022
i don't believe changing the seats affected the EDD. it would have been the same changes whether i did it or not. the base price also was not affected - as long as you are in the US. the only change in the price is the increase from upgrading from 7 to 6 seats.
according to what people have shared, the only way to speed up your EDD is to change from long range to plaid. or luck
They told me it’s 30 days
My EDD window is less than 30 days
