How long does it take to get assigned a VIN?? I placed my deposit today! Anxiously waiting for my M3P
No telling when or how long will you be waiting for 2021 VIN - I just relegated to Tesla usual push to deliver before end of quarter. Anything sooner (like end of Nov or earlier) will be a surprise.
From experience (2018 M3, 2019 MX, 2020 MY) the estimated delivery time frame is accurate (ex 5-9 weeks for California).
Let say there are more orders than inventory - so you get assigned a VIN as it goes thru the assembly line that usually takes 2 weeks then get trucked to your destination for another 2-3 weeks.
So for California orders that is about 5 week at the earliest, assuming VINs for Ca delivery is being built now.
Having said the above, check the VIN you get assigned - it should be 2021 VIN since you just recently ordered but you never know, it could be left over 2020 VIN.
