Special Orders vs. Reservations and Timeline to Build?

Good color choice! The pre-collision and radar cruise control are great, if you don't mind the price.

I'll defer to Jabber et al on your actual question, but your dealer would probably need to start looking through the other allocations in your region. Given the relatively short time frame, it doesn't sound like you had a so-called special order. Was your deposit refundable? I don't know how plentiful the ATP is in your region.

Yes, I noticed that you have the same color.

I am in DC area, I have not yet seen any V yet, let alone the ATP. I searched through Edmunds, but couldn't find one within 100-mile rage. So I believe that if I change my order, the dealer will have no trouble selling it when it arrives next week. But they may have to start over. They will let me know the time frame. I don't mind waiting because I plan to drive this car for a long time (15+ years?). I don't want to regret later.

I already paid $500 deposit two months ago. My dealer has it now. If I change my order, they just keep it for a little longer (and collect some interests ).
