DetailsThey haven't even gotten through all the owners still, so don't get those hopes too high

Based on vin assignment info on tmc, current production rate is none/week.
Looks like an owner in Texas with 3/31/2016 reservation just got an email invite tonight. Seems to be an isolated invitation since we haven't heard anything more from other people.....

Correct. Current Model X owner since 8/2016. Reserved 4/2017 and will take LR with premium and no invite. I think there are still quite a few owners still waiting to order.
I'm in this situation..still no status change. Delivery estimator says Dec'17 to Feb'18 for me so I'm guessing their system knows I'm an owner.
Current owner (Model S) since June 2014. Reserved Model 3 in March 2016. Got an email stating that I can design Model 3 Premium for delivery in 4 weeks (this option was not available last week). For standard model, configuration still not available so the wait continues.

Just published by Electrek ... Tesla starts building more Model 3 vehicles with dual motor ahead of launch
We are getting more evidence that Tesla is getting closer to expand Model 3 options to include its dual motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. As shown by the Model 3 vehicle identification number (VIN) decoder, the 8th digit represents the type of powertrain and the number 2 means a dual motor. Last month, we reported on Tesla registering 19 Model 3 VINs with dual motor powertrain with NHTSA in the latest batch of new VINS. It happened right after the Tesla Model 3 dual motor powertrain design leaked in the latest design studio update. Tesla registered a new batch of Model 3 VINs this week – bringing the total in the 11,000s, which is an increase of about 3,000 VINs in the last 2 weeks. Two dozen of those Model 3 VINs were registered with dual motor powertrain – adding to the previous batch...
In the latest Model 3 online design studio update, Tesla says that the first Model 3 dual motor deliveries are coming in Spring 2018. Spring 2018 can mean anything from March to June so it could be coming quite fast. It makes sense since Tesla has been going for higher margin vehicles first with the Long Range battery pack and the dual motor option would be the next logical step in this strategy.

I still plan to call. The email is a bit misleading. I had indicated all along (through the Tesla website) that I plan to order the standard version so why would Tesla send me an email stating that my Model 3 is ready to be configured but then when I go to configure, the only option is the premium version.
Just marketing. Your names up and you can order something. Maybe you will change your mind.
The option to configure my first 3 order opened up about 10 days ago. I just received the invite email to configure a minute ago. With that said, I'm waiting on AWD on the first reservation. I do have two reservations but the second reservation was made long after the first and is not yet available to configure.

First day reservation on-line, MS owner in PA, been able to configure since January 17th, just got my email at 9:08am EST today. I am waiting until Wednesday night after the earnings call in case they make any significant announcements about the M3 in general. I'd consider dual motor if it's not priced out of sight.
Selecting that “standard range” box is non- binding. You still get your invite in (whatever) sequence.

Still have owners that have not been invited. (like me)
I'm aware of many owners that reserved after June 2017 that are still waiting (including myself) there is still a ways to go.
But do you have a Nov-Jan estimate? Because if not Tesla has indicated some non-owners may be ahead of you in priority (because they do have a Nov-Jan estimate).
