Yours shipped today so I believe your SA is saying 1-3 weeks for you to take possession of the car. Sounds about right.

After a weird series of events, I also have a car that’s Preparing for Delivery. To summarize this mildly interesting story:
5/26 - Original order (green/tahoe/stealth/20-21s/SSP/DD premium/C&C/DH/Power)
At some point I mentioned to my SA that I’m open to inventory cars.
8/31 - SA offered a Black model that was suitable, submitted a change request
9/2 - Nothing in my account ever updated so I asked what was up. Turns out the car she offered was one of the Canadian ones and couldn’t be reassigned. Oh well.
9/6 - SA sends me a link to another inventory car that someone had apparently canceled. Matched my original order exactly so I said yes. She swapped it and my order page immediately went to In Production with a VIN. Also worth noting for later that the link she sent me was the same sort of page you’d see if you chose an inventory Air from the website, but presumably not discoverable to the public. Once she assigned the car to me, the page said the vehicle was no longer available.
9/8 - after remaining In Production all weekend, the status changes BACK to Order Confirmed. Weird. I ask my SA what’s up again, and she said the VIN had turned into a batch number with a production date of 10/31. This seemed very strange to me since that’s about when I figured my original order would be produced given what I’ve read on here.
9/9 - Still curious about what happened, I try opening the link my SA sent me on 9/6 and sure enough it shows the same car again, not the “no longer available” message. Like I noted, this is the same page you’d see if you were shopping for inventory Airs, complete with the form to reserve the car and pay the $1000 deposit. So I did. At this point I had two orders in my account, and the new one immediately showed Preparing for Delivery and was in fact the exact same VIN I had from 9/6-9/8.
I sent all of this info to my SA after that, and long(er) story short, she confirmed the car is real, waiting to be gated, and can be delivered to my house (not Tyson’s Corner as I had to select on the order page). She also had me cancel the original order and promised I’d get the refund. I’m honestly still slightly skeptical this will all work out but it seems promising at this point.
