Has anyone looked into the make-up of the production sequence number?
There is some blink speculation over here:
HK: Deposit date - confirmation - Sequence # - expected delivery - Page 17
as it seems the first two digits of the sequence number maybe a production week (or a complete coincidence).
Silver P85 | Pano | 19" Cyclones | Black Perf Leather | Obeche Gloss | Air | Tech | Park | Fog | Led | HPWC | Photosync 45/75 Tint | Vin 29,xxx | Delivered 2/7/14
Scroll up a few posts to find this tagline:
Delivery February 2014 with a VIN of 29XXX. Look at some 2013 deliveries to find the same pattern, VIN sequence number digit 1 and 2 are not linked to week numbers.
Yes, for 2012 and 2013 I don't see any pattern, but things were a lot less predictable for Tesla back then. Just seems for recent 2014 RHD perhaps they issue VINs in weekly batches.
Maybe just a coincidence that digits 1 and 2 of the production sequence match the expected weekly spread of deliveries/production for HK that we know of. We know spread is early July to late august (sig to me, 8 weeks) and vins are 37XXX to 44XXX (8 numbers).
Put it another way, say VINs were just handed out in sequence, and say (for simplicity) Tesla were producing 1,000 cars a week, then we would expect the first two digits of the production sequence to match the expected production week. Just strange that the HK numbers seem to match the know timeframe so closely, but Tesla are not producing 1,000 cars a week. Either Tesla is producing cars faster, or there are gaps in the production sequence, or I'm gonna get my car a lot later than expected.
Maybe, but not certainly. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen in 2016.So now that we are over 50,000, the number is going to roll sometime next year. Will they do anything interesting, or just 'let it roll?' The year digit will keep them unique ...

I haven't had a chance to re-dig but there are at least two links to PDFs that describe the official format. I believe the latter one speaks to your VIN. If/when I find them (or if someone else does), I think it would be good to add those links to the 2nd (wiki) post of this thread.My digit 6 is "3", digit 7 is "H" and digit 8 is "1". There is no description for these in the first post. Have I missed something?
I have the same. The format has changed. Somewhere in this thread is a link to a newer document.My digit 6 is "3", digit 7 is "H" and digit 8 is "1". There is no description for these in the first post. Have I missed something?
The sixth digit is for the safety systems in the car, so perhaps a '6' means it has the collision avoidance features (basically all the auto pilot hardware).
breser, can you please send the link of the thread you're speaking about?
How to know what mean '6'?
