I spoke with the dealer, it is not the aluminum for building the car, apparently the supplier who build the trim, is the one with aluminum shortage. What happened is that they will not build the car if they do not have all the parts. And the aluminum trim is the missing part. On the other hang if you change the order to wood trim, your order will proceed to the next step.
