So a VIN reassignment for later orders would be understandable if it's still within the 1500 and wouldn't affect previously estimated ship dates by much. It would be unfair, though, to pull assigned VINs and make those customers now wait for a future ship (back to pending). It would be just passing the screw down the line.
Of course the other complication is that all cars are not the same. Direct swapping is hard work! (To paraphrase a famous person. )
Excuse me, what exactly is "fair" about those of us that ordered in late Sept/early October not receiving VINs and impending delivery dates while at least 32 folks (such as yourself) who ordered three or four months later have?
So, if there are not enough cars to go around, it is " fair" that some people get delivery in 3 or 4 months while others wait 7, 8 or more depending on the impact the quake and subsequent tsunami? I don't think so.
