Based on the TM Forum Bulletin Board, seems like they infer both 40kWh and standard suspension will come before Reds:
"Below is the current Production Sequencing Timeline for 2013:
When will 40 kWh cars, 60 kWh cars, Standard Suspension and new 2013 Red begin production? | Forums | Tesla Motors
- 60 kWh Model S with Active Air Suspension will phase into production in January 2013
- 40 kWh Model S will phase into production in March 2013
- 40, 60 and 85 kWh cars with Standard Suspension will begin production in March 2013
- 2013 Red multi-coat paint will begin production in March 2013 (no change from original plan)"
The hopeful news is that it sounds like maybe all of these batches may be somewhat ahead of schedule. Here's hoping for our Reds!
Why would multi-coat red have anything to do with signature red? I'm not sure I understand your logic. It's not like the paint shop can only hold 7 colors.
During the October 2012 factory tour, they said that the paint robots can switch paint guns (although I have seen some videos that seem to contradict this). If they are still using the exchangeable paint guns then they could paint cars in any color in any sequence it seems.My understanding is that they have robot paint stations dedicated to each color, and the Signature Red station would be reconfigured to the Multi-Coat Red once the Signature Red production was complete. I also thought that the sig cars were all completed and those not delivered are stored someplace. I'm not sure this is correct, but it is what I recall from previous info on this forum.

Fellow redders- for those planning on using PenFed, have you started the 90 day window yet? I'm thinking it's getting close.

Guess everyone must have it that email about child seats option and to respond by the 5 th. wonder if that's any indicator of production soon after ?We should be hearing something in the next week or two. P15527 (Black) got a delivery window of 3/39-4/12 this week.
