Depends on config ordered as well. They make a set number of each config so some configs will run out before others.

I have a strong suspicion that the month long EDD is a placeholder that is used, based on the original EDD quoted when you ordered.
I don’t think it’s actually saying to expect one this month it just doesn’t have something specific to show you right now. I’m in the same position; I’ve been shown august 2022 for the past week and I’m hoping these EDDs don’t carry much weight and it all comes down to VIN assignment in coming days/weeks
I spoke to a Tesla rep about this and the official line is that when an order is placed, it acts as guide for the factory. The configurations are limited in scope, so when configured for RHD vehicles a block of RED, LR, WHITE INT cars will be produced when it's logical to do. Some can uncannily clip an immediate production so actually allocated a car sooner, some just miss the slot so fall on a later ETA date. Mass produced WHITE / MSM / BLACK are being churned out frequently, but waiting list is longer, you get allocated when you reach the front of the queue.
I don't think there's any RNG, but it is a fun suggestion
The best way to get a car without waiting in line is to mash the refresh on Tesla inventory when a boat arrives. Any orphaned cars will go straight on inventory, and that inventory is used by Tesla AND quick fingered prospective owners happy to negotiate on spec and immediately snatch a car.
For newer members to the forum, the UK inventory link is HERE - all the filters can be set from the left panel and you can set up tracker alerts as well.
Happy hunting!

It does seem incredible that they just make cars and then allocate them to a user. That just doesn’t make commercial of financial sense. If you think about it logically, there are only really two options for each colour that have an impact, the interior. The wheels can change. The balance is that of end user satisfaction against production capability.I spoke to a Tesla rep about this and the official line is that when an order is placed, it acts as guide for the factory.

It does make sense that they get a batch of colours and bang those out at the same time, but then I don’t have the first clue on the painting procedure, maybe they have 5 paint stations, one for each colour??
yeah there's a bit of a rumor that if you order all premium (red paint / white interior / sport alloys / performance) you get your car sooner... the reality is that people ordering these vehicles is way less, and, way more likely to get orphaned. If you happen to have an identical spec on order and someone else in the short line skips / pospones etc, you're going to be right up there in the pecking order). Funny fact, 3 weeks after ordering mine in November, I got a call from Tesla offering me a LR / White / Black interior.. The call was a shock and great surprise.. however I wasn't ready so politely declined.. So random things can happen! Now though, demand is so intense, unless you spam inventory, gone are the days of a Tesla rep calling you directly offering you something out of the blue!
That is correct. When I looked at the delivery options back in March, higher specs and upgrades pushed the delivery sooner.
Reality is more poverty spec vehicles are built but demand for these is greater
It’s like most things in life, pay a premium for anything and you’ll more often than not receive it quicker
I’ll be a proud poverty spec owner in June
This photo was recently taken, look at the ratio of white to red. It means that if you happen to have a pretty premium spec car, you're not going to have anyone in front of you in the queue
- white on the other hand or MSM, and the queue is going to be a long one!

don't know, this is my 1st tesla, not sure of the procedure except for what I pick up from this forum, I have not been matched to a car as far as I know.
maybe it's just tesla procedure??

I like the red and I can see that you get it sooner, but It’s not worth £2K having driven a red Y recently, not sure the Gemini’s go with it
