That's not how Tesla handles model years or reservations.I assume the 2024 production run will be all Quads. Even though I reserved a TriMotor in November 2019, it was not the first day, so I figure I won't hear anything until early 2025. I will take a Quad - i.e. long range. I won't take a 300 mile Cybertruck. I would continue to wait.
Model year is usually when the model rolled from the factory. Sometimes it's a little late or a little early, but it's not a production run like traditional automakers.
Reservation holders will be contacted in order, in the geographical area being serviced - so like the Model Ys from Austin, they contacted pre-orders in the Austin area, and then branched out from there.
They don't generally care what model you reserved, especially if they're not producing it: they want to find a buyers so they contact anyone probable to fill out the configurator.
With the Model 3, they opened the configurator out to batches of reservations at a time.
