VINs for everyone was a nice thing to get on my birthday

It would have been better if you’ve received a VIN for your birthday, especially with all the work you being doing compiling all of this data!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Especially as @Ormaus is so close! (And myself)

I’m now imagining all the “proud parent” photos that will hit this thread in the coming weeks

These VINs were from early this morning (i.e they weren't there at midnight).

My vin was not there at 6am this morning but had arrived by 10.30

So where do you find out first hand that you have been assigned a vin? from Tesla App or through email?

I dont have one but it seems that the App is the first place with an popup saying things have changed please Accept Tesla Vision (and if you're LR/P a range change) then the app asked for Bluetooth access. Shortly after you can find the VIN in the source code of the web page and should have a delivery date range.

Invoice etc happen later.

Yeh, like to know as well. Watching

While we are seeing some people I dont have in the order list (either posted details before I started collecting, have never posted or I just missed it) tell us about VINs, we're also seeing the existing list fill up nicely.

Hoping to hear good news from the following people soon:
@CompleteMuppit
@Redrum
@SYDNEYPSYCHO
@Joe__B

(Perth excluded from this screenshot as they are special and got some love recently)

Just had to accept the updated range and have been assigned a delivery date between 23/08 and 02/09.

Assume the vin is waiting for me when I get home to check!

 

[Jayden Smith]

Looking good with the VINs people! Yes the text is very small but it shows (VIN Date Column) how many contiguous dates we have.
Hoping for good news soon from @dogstarlady, @Sir_Red, and others further down the list.

Having been on this forum for a while now I have watched the “cycles” of oldies and newbies posts. And have come up with the 7 stages of owning a Tesla.

The 7 Stages of owning a Tesla.

1. Dreaming - this is where a person is thinking about purchasing a Tesla. It often involves visiting a showroom and meeting an extremely helpful Sales Assistant who explains how simple it is to buy a Tesla. And in as little as 14-20 weeks you can have your own. The Dreaming stage can take months, and is seen as one of the more enjoyable stages.


2. Commitment - It often is done in private, and is relatively quick.


3. Love - Once the commitment has been made, the SA and Tesla send emails and call quite regularly. Some people developed a strong bond with their SA. This relationship will be put to the test in Stage 5.


4. Accessories - this stage has been known to appear early in some cases. In rare cases is can appear before stage one. It is also likely to keep appearing between stages five and six. Some people will do this in secret and hide it from their significant other due to the excessive amount of purchases made.


5. Abandonment - this stage sometimes is called going a little “Hoopy” It is where the person becomes increasingly annoyed with the complete lack of communication with Tesla. The previously helpful SA from Stage 3 is now no longer around. If a person is at this stage it is wise to point them towards recovery groups such as “Model 3 waiting room” forums.


6. Knowledge - this stage involves the accumulation of knowledge about shipping schedules, and forklift movements. Some also become web decoders and try and decipher the meaning of “VIN allocation”. Others become fixated with spreadsheets and finding hidden patterns in build dates. Others search through video footage to source information. Stage 5 and 6 are the longest stages and a person will find themselves slipping back and forth between the two of them. Occasional even falling back to Stage 4.


7. Smugness - the final stage. This stage is obtained by a lucky few. It begins with the discovery of a hidden VIN. It has been know to take anywhere between 6 to 9 months to reach stage 7. But it a finally obtained when the person sits behind the wheel of their new Tesla. It is said that once stage 7 is reached people forget about the previous stages.

This is very perceptive (and entertaining)! I’m wafting between 5 and 6, having skipped 4. Fully expecting to get to 4 soon though when wall charger is ordered!

 

[trippa]

well, we’re about the see a f@!$ load of Teslas on the road soon. I hope there’s a “finger wave” car community as we drive past each others cars. Knowing we just went through the same pain over the last 5-8 months.

 

[Redrum]

Sorry about before, shock and excitement got to me...
Site is not loading properly on my phone, so will have to check out on pc..

EDD 22/8-1/9

Hopefully be a sweet, slightly late, b'day prezzie for me... will fill rest of info a bit later, kids demand attention...

Does anyone know what the "rarest" colour / interior combinations are? I feel like the Red/White and Blue/White combos are less common based on what I've seen from people's signatures and orders.

I ordered Blue/White RWD and am hoping that because fewer people have ordered that configuration they can clear through the Blue/White queue faster.

Someone posted a spreadsheet a few pages back that has the breakdown between colours (exterior and interior).

Edit: and just to upset you, I think Tesla makes fewer of the rare ones to factor in smaller demand
