This is helpful. We changed our order from Bronze to an orphaned "in production" black. (I will likely always have a slight regret that we aren't getting the Bronze, but we are tired of waiting). Our SA said it was supposed to have a "factory gated" (or something like that) date of August 24...

We had this happen on our Model X on a road trip through NY on our way home. It was a full flat on the interstate. Fortunately, we were able to pull over safely because we kept an eye on the tire pressure and noticed it dropping. We had a NY state trooper spend a lot of time with us trying to...

Great news. What interior color?

This is also how the SA conveyed "asset" to me. It seems it doesn't really give us a clear timeline though.

Within the last 2 weeks.

Mine had the keyfob. The SA showed it to me and said we would get 2 of them. I am skeptical based on the comments here however.

I also did a test drive at Tyson's on Thursday. I asked the SA who went on the test drive with me - a woman who isn't our SA - how many have been delivered. She didn't know the count for the whole store but her number was much higher than I expected.

This is our situation too. We have a bronze with HUD and fully loaded (but smaller wheels than we want) and the word "asset" was used too. No VIN and dashboard still says Order Confirmed. Our original order was bronze, then we decided to switch to black because we didn't want to wait. But...

I just did a real test drive today and was happy with it, too. I was expecting a learning curve, but it was smooth sailing. I like that I can keep my arms lower when I have them on the top of the squircle for less arm fatigue.

I can confirm that our SA found a GGT for us that has HUD and Supernova Bronze (!!), our preferred color, on the build list. All the other package components as well. It was good sleuthing on his part! It is our order now, but I have no idea when it will actually go into production. The...

Oh I didn't know that it doesn't have an auto-close charge port. We had a MX, sold it, and bought a Ford Lightning (which we really love) and it doesn't have the auto-close and I always have to get out to close it because I forget.

I just noticed this for the first time today too. Our SA suggests ours will go into production in 2 weeks. I know he is an optimistic SA, so we will see!

We are in DC, so yes we should stay in touch on a swap.

Our SA found a newly listed vehicle that meets all our order parameters except the wheels - this one has 20/21 and we want 21/22. Our SA said he sells different wheels for the Air all the time; they just don’t have the supply to do that for Gravity yet. So we took the car; the only thing we...

I think your assumptions are sound. It seems clear that our SA can look at a list of cars available to them (so I assume can be delivered to their geographic location) that don't have a purchaser assigned to them. So you are right that "orphan" isn't what they are. And you are right that it's...
