Holy crap! Now my "encodedvin" is followed by a bunch of letters and numbers as well!

I didn't reserve until 4/2/16, and configured on 6/27.

Blue, AWD, EAP Aero


You guys are talking about this page right?

view-source:httpX://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/profile?rn=RNXXXXXXXX

(changed https to httpx so it wouldn't hide the full text, and obviously Xed out real RN)

When I search that page encodedvin doesn't appear at all. Not blank, not filled, the word doesn't exist on the page.

3/31/16 online reservation, 6/26/18 order, exact same config as you, no forward movement on order since.

I, too, found no mention of “encodedvin” on my page.
 
My "Encodedvin" field is still blank (4/1/16, config within minutes of opening on 6/27) but I may be paying Obsidian Black Penance. Still, this boding well.

huh...encodevin was there with nothing in it

Taking view-source off your link got me to that confirm page others had gotten but not me, where it showed me price with taxes and such and edit button goes away

But when I closed that and when back to manage my reservation it was back to the "old" page with edit button still there
 
I think we are all trying to read way to much into everything, but it's hard not to after waiting for over 2 years. However...As a data point...

Res: 3/31/16 online prereveal (attempted to be #100,000 and was too close to tell on the counter)
Config: 6/27/18 8am AWD-non-P, Silver, Aero, No EAP
Sept-Nov Est Delivery (Never changed since config)
No Edit button since new web page with reconfirming details... No response after 6 days from emailing ISA (I was going to ask about white int. but have since decided I want black, and don't want to wait as my BMW I3 goes back 8/15/18)
EncodedVin=""
 
I guess I should post my stats as well.

Day one line waiter in Jax Florida. I was around 15th in line.
Non owner
Invited to configure 2-15-18, deferred waiting on awd and white interior
Configured 7-24-2108 Solid black AWD, white interior, 19"s, no EAP
Edit button gone and listed as "
A delivery experience specialist is reviewing your changes and will contact you prior to delivery" since this past weekend
 
Wait, it was my understanding that you weren't assigned an ISA until after you're assigned a VIN. Is that not the case?

All I know is this... When I first made my config, I immediately put in my profile info, but made a mistake...Since there is no way to edit it on the web page, I emailed Tesla to remove my wife as a 2nd registrant. An ISA emailed me back several days later. Reading his emails again, he ended one with "with your assigned Inside Sales Advisor" so perhaps I don't have one assigned to me yet.

They could greatly reduce their email traffic if they would just leave the edit button visible until a VIN is 100% assigned. No car they build today won't find an immediate home. There are only 35 possible configs today not including wheels and software which can be easily changed at the delivery center just like adding the Performance Pkg.
 
So strange. I use a Mac and don't know how to view source code on Safari and so I checked using Chrome by going to "Inspect." My delivery specialist sent me my VIN and arranged a delivery date. I was just checking to make sure the VIN numbers matched up. When I type in "encodedvin," a huge wall of yellow text is found. So strange...doesn't make me feel more at ease now.

EDIT: I found out how to find look at source in Safari. I have VIN="null" right before encodedvin. So weird...
 
Non-owner, reserved online April 1, 5AM EST
Configured: 6/27 AWD, Non-Performance, Red, Sport Wheels, EAP
Edited: 6/29, MSM
Edited 7/17'ish, back to Red
Edited 7/30 early evening, Blue
The edit button disappears 7/30 late evening, with request to confirm information and financing through credit union
7/31 I call Tesla and get a verbal VIN in 54,XXX's...

My account page still says Sept - Nov delivery... waiting for that to change (F5, F5 ,F5!) and a phone call from an ISA!

Update: received a call a few minutes ago. Delivery scheduled for 8/21, Tysons Corner. Also, my ISA said that the "contract hell" has been resolved and MVPAs are being generated without issue. Hopefully that doesn't change.
 
Line waiter non-owner
Reserved 3/31/16 @11:30 am
Chicago area
Original invite 4/6
AWD invite 5/31
Configured and ordered AWD 5/31

I have not heard or seen anything since. No updated order page and no secret vin. I have seen people with later order dates with my exact configuration receiving vin and delivery schedule. :( I really wish Tesla was more transparent on status. It’s the unknown that is killing me. I could get a call tomorrow and have the car by the end of the weekend or it could be another two months.
