I spoke to two people at the local Tesla office. Both said the change would basically become a new reservation number. I've read some say it won't, but I'm not willing to risk changing my position, especially since there is still no way to know if the dual motors will be nearly a year later than the tri.
If the delay for dual motor is only a month or so, that's one thing, but some people online think it could be nearly a year later... hence the subject of this thread.
I understand the need to ship in regions for logistic purposes, but those in the same region with a lower reservation number should get the first chance to place orders, and if needed change their motor choice based without affecting their position.
Basically, our choice of motor style should be used for them to measure the approximate ratio of buyer preference, but we should be able to make the final choice when we order.
Even if a large number of people change their preference, it won't disrupt their parts allocations. If I change from dual to tri, it will be offset by others doing the reverse and even a massive shift won't leave them with unused parts... there are over a million reservations.... plenty to go around.
