Vin assignments include a lot of inventory that member cryptyk here found that were never put on the web. Bunch of P100D for example (a few hundred).
In terms of Inventory over the year, I have this and it doesn't include older hidden inventory nor China/Japan/Oz.
This is "# of visible inventory Vin #s per 1000 vin # range". Big peak around 10/10 indicative of the AP2.0 inventory layout and why I harp on Tesla for building lots of inventory ahead of paying customers' orders. Inventory visibility in the latter 1000's is based on how soon they become visible to aggregators like ev-cpo and others. The flatness of the latter section should bloom at some point.

Yes, at least 540 of the 168xxx were inventory/marketing/not-custom order numbers. All data in this chart is based on actual visible inventory positioned on the web through the year, normally aggregated by ev-cpo and others. It also shows the inventory build-up going into September's sales event which seemed to have been well planned.
