If I just pay, and then say I'm coming in 3 weeks, they won't refuse and send me back the money and release my CT right?
Uh, you mean if you pay and are not available to pick it up? Unknown response. But I dare say that they will release it and you'll eventually get reassigned a VIN and it may be a PITA getting your money reattached to it.

If you pay the car is yours and they won't reassign it.

Like @getsometom stated, the chat feature isn't available until a VIN is assigned. I have a Cybertruck on order (no VIN assigned) and when I click on the chat icon, it doesn't allow me to send any messages.
You can respond to the order confirmation message.

Not quite. The car is not yours until the bill of sale is signed.
I've never signed anything with Tesla, everything is done through the app.

I was in the same boat and knew there will be days up in Everest region with no Internet or cell signals. Went to the SC before the trip, they took the notes down of my trip and assured that I would be fine. Not sure if it really worked bcos assigning VIN is not in the hands of SC. Got VIN 4 days before the end of my trip with a text and App update. Sent a text right away about my situation and Tesla responded in the message box that I should be fine as the truck is scheduled to arrive to my SC in 10-12 days. It was good information for me to plan everything for delivery.
SC cannot hold your truck for more than few days. They'll release the VIN to the next customer and you'll have to wait for next VIN assignment.

Looks like some conflicting opinions. Maybe it's just a roll of the dice.

There's no conflicting opinion. If you don't pay for it they will reassign.

That part is understood already. I'm asking about a case where I pay for it upfront while on vacation but cannot pick it up for a few weeks once paid, if they can hold it. The conflicting opinions are that some say they will hold it for you. Others say no, they won't and reassign your VIN to someone else even after you paid.

I mean, if you pay, and just keep stalling, I imagine they'd try to hold it up to an extent. I just don't know what the amount of days is.

No one is saying that. All their examples are of people that have not paid.

Right now it says I might get fulfilled June to August but I’m going on vacation from mid July to mid August. If I get a VIN during this time, can I schedule driver for when I’m back if it needs to be in a few weeks?
Mine said June to August, but my VIN was assigned the day after configuring and I was able to take delivery two days after VIN assignment. I think it all depends on location.

Once your VIN is assigned, the spot on your app to schedule delivery opens up. I am assuming if you know what your schedule is, then you can schedule the delivery of your vehicle when you are available.

Is that what you are asking?

With legal electronic signatures.
In that case the purchase agreement was signed well before any payment was made.
