Yes, I do think it's absurd they keep changing so much. They need to chill with the constant line-up changes.
In regards to this specific news, I don't think it's positive, but I don't really think it's bad either. I was just glad they didn't get rid of the 35K version yet, I think they do have an obligation to let the buyers that were promised it a chance to order it first.
There's been zero delivered so far despite of it being over 3 years after the release and over a month after re-release. I wouldn't be so certain of that claim.
From the post:
Deliveries of Model 3 Standard will begin this weekend.
So they are starting to deliver them, and you can still order them.
