Tesla allocating VINs....

Far too much doing stuff going on in this visual representation.

Mine's okay.... loading as usual, but nothing exciting happening

Mine hasn't been working since last night. Hoping for something exciting because there is no way I can access the website even with the change in the URL of my model 3 to the reservation no. of the Y.

The car production and allocation process might seem like a crap shoot

However, as with most logisitic and engineering processes, it is simply likely to be far more involved and nuanced than it seems to a casual outside observer.

Has anyone got any news for us?

 

[j4rryd]

Also does anyone know roughly how many cars can travel on one ship?

 

[Silver Xu]

A few thousand

Yes, my type 2 charger cable just arrived.
Oh sorry you mean VIN wise...nope

Add yourself to the spreadsheet, we have very few December orders in there. Helps everyone get an idea of where we are in the order.

Also does anyone know roughly how many cars can travel on one ship?

Most ROROships can carry around 5000 cars, though there some now capable of 8000. obviously actual umber vary according to shape & size of various vehicles [forklifts], [... oh and tractors, trucks etc] on board.
Turandot 6600 cars

My car arrived! OD: 15/3

But I still don’t have a VIN
That OD was 26/1

I'm not too sure about the paint quality and panel gaps there

 

[believer__]

I can also report NO vin :-(

My order date was 20/1/22 so it should be soon though... The colour is Blue, so I wonder how that will effect things. I assume there is a focus on batches of white cars as that is the most popular.

Now there are some delivery dates starting to come through, it might be time to revisit accessory purchases. What accessories has everyone purchased or planning on purchasing?

So i'm thinking about the maths of the orders that received vins on the 28th. 1 day worth of LR orders and maybe 3 days worth of RWD orders can't equate to very many cars surely. Certainly not thousands.

What do people think?

I agree, so that means that they could have been left overs from UK production and ours will be from the 5th on once the factory reopens?

What I think is that there would be a dedicated ship that leaves Shanghai in July and will carry 3000-4000 Model 3s for Australia and New Zealand (not sharing ships with Ys). If Tesla wants they could easily produce these 3000-4000 RHD Model 3s within a week of time.
