Wheather they have any weight in being placed by the dealerships and if that can speed things up, I don't know - I hope they just had better/earlier access to the website and got in before everyone else.

It would still largely depend on what exactly you ordered as ultimately if the spec/colour you ordered is not availalbe, they still need to build the car.
Yes, I agree, good thing my dealer called and I was able to pay the balance of my deposit on the 12th.

My understanding is that dealers received no advantage after pre-orders closed.
