Tracking Multi-red production and sequencing

News from Geneva, where Elon Musk today said European production will not start until June (was March), with first deliveries slipping only one month to July (was June). This probably means the European Signatures (Red) have been moved behind back in line, behind Multicoat Red.

In addition, Elon stated the US deliveries would be slowed (from July onward) in order to make Euro deliveries a priority. If Multi Red were to slip, it would be a big slip indeed. I think one has to assume that the planning organization at the factory has had this factored in for some time.
I added my information to the spreadsheet. I also wanted to see how many other multicoat reds would be in my area (I'll be looking for you Issaquah-Renton-Bothell drivers!). Here is a count by state (and 1 country) using the info from the spreadsheet. The data pretty much aligns with what I would expect, given the comments that I have read about Model S orders in general. I kind of expected TX to be higher, but we don't have a complete list, of course... Or maybe they just don't like red cars in Texas!

OK, my Lloyd Mats arrived this afternoon, so I am now ready for the Model S. This waiting is becoming more difficult each day.
It takes Tesla only one and a half week to build 500 to 600 cars, if they decide to produce all Multicoat Reds together (with 60 and 85 kWh batteries). If they only build the Multicoat Reds that are delayed because of the color choice, they could be finished in a week.
I've been told if your car includes options that are not yet in production that sequence number will be used when those options enter production. Once in production it goes by finalized date.

Elon said that the production of the European signatures start in June . How they can start the multicoat red this month then? there are a lot of signature red's to go.

This whole silent treatment from Tesla is driving me nuts.
Also, We better not be waiting for European Sigs.

I'll be very annoyed if multi-red is delayed because of the EU. Change the paint for a few months and then switch back. We've been waiting awhile!!

I bet some EU folks are annoyed at the North Americans that are bumping them to summer. Some of them have waited awhile too! Tesla was very transparent about the April-May window and we just need to be patient for a little longer.

Yes, I agree, the silence is killing me. It would be much better if Tesla would at least give us some idea of their current plan, beyond "we will start Milti-Red in March."
