Just heard that Tesla is apparently discontinuing both the Metallic Silver and Obsidian Black colors, starting in two days (they will be a $2000 "specialty" paint color option until Sept. 21st, though). I've had a Metallic Silver AWD (non-Performance) ordered since June 30th, and now I'm wondering what the discontinuation of the model will do to the expected delivery time? On the plus side, the metallic silver may be even more rare than it is now. I'm also hoping that Tesla will try to plough through all the OB and MS orders on the books and thus speed up delivery, although I suppose the reverse could also be true and this discontinuation may actually substantially delay delivery of existing orders for these colors. I also worry that it might be harder to repair any damage to the car now that the colors are discontinued. Are any people in the same boat, wondering if they should change their color configuration? I'm worried that if I changed the color at this point (even though I don't have any assigned VIN currently), I might lose free Premium Connectivity and might have to pay the now inflated AWD premium (it was only a $4000 option when I purchased).
