Highest production VIN in the wild

[ryanakata]

Sorry, I didn't check for it. I saw some thread, but I feel like people are being too picky. If mine protruded a quarter inch, I would probably not even notice. I mean, yeah, with people bringing up this kind of stuff it makes you aware, but if I wasn't reading this forum I wouldn't notice and wouldn't care.

I don't even care for the panel gaps, but this was from the driver seat you could see it completely not in line with the front end. I'm sure it could be fixed by loosening the headlight mounting bolts and moving the headlight which I'm hoping I won't have to do. These last few weeks seem longer than the two year wait I've already sat through.

just about hour ago saw a new Porsche with much worse gaps on both side front quarter panels.

I would assume that this Porsche was a badly repaired one after a crash. Very unusual for Posches to have such problems...

In CO Littleton SC on Fri saw 5 M3s, VINs ranging from 10K for sport black, to 13K, 15K, and the highest was red sportView attachment 295866

So the red 3 you saw was 18117; last week I saw 184XX (I decided not to post the complete VIN in the interest of the owner’s privacy; owner wasn’t there so could not ask for permission).

So they will need to register more next week? based, of course, on production increases

Well, we all know that the numbers exist, right? I don't believe anyone will dispute that the number 18118 is out there somewhere ... I dont see harm in visual confirmation of that as long as the owner's name is not posted right next to it.

Also,I don't have photo editing software on my phone and if I just post "hey I saw a number 55,5xx" does it look credible?

How long does it take them to assign these newly registered VINs?

Well can't tell, but it had paper plates which means it was recently bought from a store.

 

[ahurst]

17560 VIN for me.

 

[sunhelm]

17560 VIN for me.

Assigned today?

 

[Zaphod]

17560 VIN for me.

And when did you place your order?

 

[ahurst]

Order placed Mar 7th
I honestly don't know when it was assigned.
I happen to check my Tesla account and saw the VIN had appeared. Best guess is a few weeks ago around April 3 - 10.

I've had my car a month today and yesterday at the Computer History Museum Supercharger I parked next to an identical car to mine, with a VIN 10,000 higher than mine. Wow!

I know what you mean, apparently the Nissan Leaf has a protruding headlight issue too, but most people don't seem to care.

....and some panel misalignments too

Let us keep a thread of newly discovered VIN plates photographed in the wild.

In Littleton, CO SC saw 24 M3s today, I think around half had paperwork with the owner name placed right next to the VIN, but for our photographic convenience they started writing VINs on the windshield with the lipstick, so that we don't have to expose owner names. Numbers were everywhere between min/max posted:

At Raleigh Service yesterday, there were about 12 new Model 3s with 4 in the 18000 range. Highest was 182xx. Panels gaps looked pretty good.

So any speculation on the build rate after the shutdown?

Last week ~1500-2000, this week ~2500, based on # of VIN assignment reported:
