There's another thread tracking some of the times it has taken. I got my Step 1 confirmation on March 9th, and 18 days later I am still at Step 1.
Some people had speculated that certain orders might be delayed like they run things in batches, or the AWD model is much later production.
But for a non-AWD, even if they run in certain batches, like all one color for a day or two, or Pro S models for a day or two, but between Step 1 and 2, they allow you to change your configuration.
So if we wonder if they wait until they want to build a batch of Blue cars, for example, when they tell you to lock and go to Step 2, you can edit your configuration, and change the color, or packages.
At best, they would only be estimating that most people notified would stay with the original configuration.
So I'm thinking that the delay from Step 1 to 2 is not so much related to a specific configuration (excluding the AWD models).
Step 2 to Step 3 is where they say they schedule it for actual production. I would make a guess that's where a batch build might come into play, if at all.
Step 1 to Step 2 just sounds like a regular backlog of waiting your place in line.
Seeing that you joined this group 16 days ago, I'm guessing you also recently ordered. If so, compare your wait time with my recent order still at step 1 for 18 days.
