Did Tesla just try to sell me an old build?

Good news. Got a notification that they found a new match for me (only took a week and a half). This time they assigned me a 45k VIN that was built in August 18'. That VIN was allocated back in May but wasn't used until the August build time. I'm a happy camper.

Good luck, let us know how it goes. I’ve been happy with the small sample of owner cars I’ve examined made in August.

I know many will disagree ......... but,
I do not understand why Tesla "plays" with the VIN.
Just follow a numerical sequence make so much sense to me.
That is the way most every other manufactured item with a serial numbers is assigned.

Mixing VIN sequences ..... at least in my mind, suggest they are gaming the system, and I cannot understand, for what purpose?
It's like the Florida Election Committee is assigning VIN's.;)
