Agreed, I am so jealous of my wife's X with white interior....will be waiting for white on the 3....
There is no queue to jump. Anyone can order from today, reservationists or not. And I reckon it will make no difference to when someone receives the car.Anyone wants my reservation spot? I reserved in March 2016 but over the last couple year, I dont drive that much anymore so I'm thinking of keeping my current car. Feel free to contact me if you would like to jump the queue
In any event, reservations are non-transferable. Re-read the reservation agreement that you read when you indicated you accepted the terms and conditions when you originally reserved.
I’m not torn, I’m waiting! LR RWD or AWD, white interior. I’m not going to spend $80k+ on something that is not what I want. I’d just end up feeling regret when what I want becomes available.
But this is pretty weird, isn’t it? Why would Tesla not offer the other variants from the get-go? Why not offer white interior? RHD seats are the same as LHD seats, so what gives?
It’s all rather odd, isn’t it?Possibly tesla trying to control orders, and judging by the lack of options, keep production ultra simple.I’m not torn, I’m waiting! LR RWD or AWD, white interior.

Congrats to all those that have placed an M3 order today. It's been a long wait.
Hopefully 100's, if not 1000's, are ordered in short time and the influx of EVs has that snowballing effect we've all been waiting for here in Australia.
Less than 100 sleeps until M3's arrive in August.
Excited for you all.

I was after the LR but thinking about Performance as going from a LEAF i wanted the biggest range option. Not worried about white - only towbar was on my list ... so not sure ....
Would have been easier if LR & towbar was available from day 1 - i would have been right in there !!

Is the white option available in the UK. Surprised at the overall difference between Australia and UK order page. Would have thought it would be cheaper to just keep them with a consistent manufacturing line for RHD... very weird

Unfortunately the rationalle behind tesla decisions is a science that us mortals will never understand. Its probbaly why they managed to reinvent the car.
I just looked at the UK Configurator and it’s now the same as AUS - except tow hitch is still an option. But only the same 2 configs listed, and only black interior. I’m pretty sure LR AWD and white interior were options when the UK configurator opened.
You are right, it makes no sense for different RHD markets to have different options... and now it seems they do not.
The mysterious ways of Tesla...
Jumped in today to place my order but was after LR RWD for max range and towbar oh and decent wheels. I guess I'll have to wait. Anyone spoken to tesla? I emailed them so wait to hear. We should all bombard them with request for more options surely in Aust we need the driving range so why does UK have all the options?
Just checked - UK & Australia pages are the same - except the tow hitch available in the UK.
So it seems that there are no white interior RHD at all yet - and likely only two types rolling off the production lines - SR + & Performance.
I can understand ramping up slowly - I just thought they'd go for Performance & LR (which i wanted) first.
Sorry - Just seen your post Vostok

I posted the screenshot of Elon saying they would restore the white interior, mustn’t have come through?
Congratulations to all who have ordered. I’m only 17 but am thankful that on top of the cars being awesome you are in turn contributing to a better future for our generation
