So I need to order a AWD grey and core wheel config. Sigh…….I stopped in at the Sarasota Tesla Store yesterday to ask what's up with my order and the SA who was there got a higher up to talk with me and after looking in his computer for a while he said the white interior could be an issue because they build all regular models first and then build the options. He said he would have my SA contact TESLA HQ in the AM and call me.
This morning they called and said if I give up the white I can have a CB that is currently in another location close to here. If I want the white I'm looking at early to mid December.
Based on the conversation yesterday that tells me they aren't building anything at the moment.
Why would you assume the production line isn't running based on that?I stopped in at the Sarasota Tesla Store yesterday to ask what's up with my order and the SA who was there got a higher up to talk with me and after looking in his computer for a while he said the white interior could be an issue because they build all regular models first and then build the options.

Tesla sales have accelerated in recent weeks and inventory at the end of Q3 was drawn down to the lowest level of inventory/vehicles in transit since the heady sales days of 2022. If I recall from the quarterly report, they only had 10 days of sales supply in inventory/transit. This includes vehicles customers are waiting for delivery on, but not actually delivered. No other automaker achieves levels of inventory this low, even in the periods when demand is high and inventory is low.I don’t understand why Tesla can’t just give us an accurate delivery date when we configure, it’s pretty annoying.
The reason I said I think they have paused production is because they said they looked at what's coming and nothing with white and Core wheels is coming. They have CB with White interior locally (Tampa) but it has Cyber Wheels. For the price they want for Cyber Wheels I could buy new wheels and tires and bank some cash. It's almost like they pre-purchased a ton of Cyber Wheels because if you leased they were giving them free.Why would you assume the production line isn't running based on that?
What you described, a 5 to 6 week wait for an out of stock configuration, is caused by normal production batching and happens regularly. They don't get your order and tell the line workers to make one with a white interior, that's inefficient. You are in Florida, it can take that long just to get to you depending upon how the various transport legs work out.
The only production pause I'm aware of happened back in June for line maintenance.
