Does getting a Y quickly = previous reject?

[Ruffles]

I placed my order for my Perf Y on Wednesday. I was talking to the sales rep over the phone at the time and she mentioned they might find one that matches my specs sooner. Sometimes in only days or weeks. If they do find one that fast, does that mean it was ordered by someone else who rejected it? Is there a valid reason to reject one other than quality? The wait will kill me but I don't want someone else's lemon.

Not necessarily. Not every manufactured car will be paired with a buyer, or a buyer who goes through with the purchase for various reasons, including but not exclusively rejections.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

If your VIN is in the 10,000’s it’s a reject.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

If your VIN is in the 10,000’s it’s a reject.

And how do you know this for a fact?

And how do you know this for a fact?

Because if they are building VIN’s in the 30,000’s today; why would a new order receive a VIN in the 10,000’s? They are not necessarily sequential but they also aren’t off by orders of magnitude like that.

You can feel free to roll the dice if you want. I would not accept anything outside the current range for my own new order.

I would stay away from VINs < 20000. I think they constitute the bulk of the batch for the "Quarter End Push" which means they were ALL rushed off the line. I rejected my first one on 6/30 that had a VIN 153XX.

I met with someone today who is going to install PPF for me.
He was working on white Model Y
For the life of me it was beautiful.
The car has presence.
Only after remembering this forum.
I began to look harder than I've ever searched before .
I felt like I was looking for waldo
Finally I found the issues . The left side molding on front door was slightly mis aligned.
But Honestly it was nice.
Back lights fine panel gaps good.
Im picking mines up next week
I will look over but leaving the microscope home.
Seriously my escalade came with issues also foam hanging out of vent. Paint dull spots.
But also mechanicals issues that to this day it still has .
So perhaps just perhaps let's not think that every blip is a reject.
Dont confuse this with a screwed car .
Probably just jinxed myself

VIN numbers are mostly produced in consecutive order but it is not always the case. 01xxx VINs will be coming off the line for awhile (though fewer than in June). Also, plenty of cars produced in June (01xxx VINs) are just fine.

I have a 17xxx picked up this week with build date of July 1st. Perhaps color, interior, wheels make a diff too. Feels like no method to the madness...

I ordered Wednesday morning at 10 am and was asked to schedule pickup on Friday at 11am.

That’s 49 hours. We are scheduled to pick it up on the 25th, 10 days after ordering.

I had a Vin sometime Thursday, didn’t check until 4:30pm. It’s 25,2XX, the car is a LR-AWD, the only option is blue paint. I have seen some speculation, and perhaps I have added to the speculation, that blue is not one of the popular colors.

I wanted to be in the 30’s for VIN and I thought this was going to take 4-8 weeks but I’m going for it!

Some of you are posting the build date of the car. How do you get that information? Sounds me to that’s more indicative of when the car was build than the VIN number.

Find out the build date.

Find out the build date.

Once you figure out how, let me know. With BMW it’s easy.

20000s are absolutely trash QC’d, still accepted and had all 26issues addressed.
13xxx has been perfect.

I’m thinking the build date which Tesla gives out when people ask about it is just to “pacify” them lol.

Just ask your service advisor when you get assigned a VIN. They can give you all the details of the car including build date and history if it was rejected. It’s also the service advisor who reassigns it so you can tell him outright you don’t want a car that was rejected due to issues. In many cases, the cars that were rejected originally for major problems are now fixed so they’re offloading many of these, but again, the service advisor should be able to tell you the full history and timeline.

I just sent this email, thank you for the suggestion.

“******* or whomever it may concern,

I received the invitation to schedule delivery of my Model Y, reservation number RN11*******.

I was assigned VIN 5YJYGDEE4LF0252**.
Could someone please send the history on this Model Y when time provides? I would like to know the build date and I would like to make sure this car was not rejected by someone else.

Kind regards,

You can call any Tesla store and give them the VIN and they'll tell you the "birthday" of the car.
