I only know the last 6 digits . . . I know some of the letters and other numbers, but not in the correct order.
And I'm still waiting for mine.
And I'm still waiting for mine.
I can rattle off the last six digits of my VIN easily, granted it's not a low, 'leet number like some of you "early adopter" types. 
Weirdly that's surprised some folks at Service Centers, to which my response is usually "Doesn't every owner know this?" (Apparently the answer is "no".)
As with someone else, up-thread, this is the first car I've ever owned where I knew or cared what the VIN was.

For the first 51 days since ordering, the etched in my head VIN was the only reference I had to a nearing production start date. Among other things, this forum quickly taught me to learn my VIN (and its meaning) and to get in line!

Yes, I know my VIN (well, the last 5). The burning question I have.. since it's a CPO, it might have been one of your VINs! I actually know the previous owner's name and business location (due to having copy of previous title) and I've considered getting in touch to learn if there was anything I should know about the car (like drive unit replacement, etc). Some folks, particularly if they upgraded to a newer Model S, might not mind that at all. Others might be totally creeped out, so I haven't done it. Yet. Maybe someday.
I had the same thought. There is a thread of Model S VINs somewhere. I checked that and mine wasn't listed. If yours happens to be I would think a member of this forum would be far less creeped out than a random person at large.

I have the best of both worlds, an early easy to remember number, but it's also been retrofitted. Tesla added folding mirrors, and the original owner added parking sensors, radar, collision warning and blind spot detection. Kinda like a "new" old model. I'm sure my first visit to it's new SC for my annual service will raise a few eyebrows.

All the digits and what they mean. I'M an old timer with lots of trips around the sun but a new kid on this block. I appreciate the Roadster guys and early adopters paving the way for me to be sitting in the best car ever; charging and enjoyng a cool summer breeze; typing a response on a built in computer; listening to streaming jazz.
Next year this car will be sun powered on Merritt Island. I'm living the dream. Thanks!
P.S. Had my wine already 'cause I know it's always 5 o'clock some where!

I see your question as rhetorical in nature. That is, the reason you know your VIN is precisely because you knew back then that the days of Tesla owners not knowing their VINs were coming, and that makes what you had so special. It's extremely rare in a lifetime that a new, game changing, and disruptive technology comes along in which you can place your number on it, or know your place at the front of the line (long range EV's -- not just EV's -- since it's only Tesla's long range EV's that changed the game).

Still in love after all these miles
I love, love, LOVE your post!
Being part of this revolution has been an honor. I took a huge plunge for me to get this girl and I am proud to have taken the risk. Plus,the rewards have been great so far.

Do you also not know your wife's birthday or your anniversary?
I know them both quite well--both this week as it turns out.....
