I can't really think of any good reason not to already have an order guide out there for US buyers. The M3/M4 configurators have been live for two months and those cars aren't supposed to begin delivery until after the i8. So weird.
I had heard that the Pebble Beach delivery would be to a single customer, similar to what was done for the first US i3 delivery. I can imagine for a one off car, they could certainly make special arrangements for taking the order early in order to deliver by Aug. 17.
