Highest production VIN in the wild

[tomas]

Good reporting..... Those folks just forgot to reboot after the update which is standard procedure.

Problem is, people don't think about rebooting a car. They've got to make that automagic.

I looked around, but didn't see anything. Has anyone been keeping tally of the VINs we have spotted? I put together a google sheets for it, but got lazy after ticking off a few. If anyone has a good one going, I'll stop. But if not, I can share it and let you all tick them off.

Based on the 2 threads in TMC (production M3 pics and highest VIN), and 1 thread on M3OC (highest VIN), I've compiled the following VINs that have been sighted, and when they were 1st spotted. I might have missed a few since I didn't click on all the links with images to actual car or the sticker with VIN on them, also I generally trust people's personal accounts without photos.

82 of 220?

Baloney.

+1 I have only needed a reboot once in over a year. Never for an update.

 

[luvb2b]

i don't know about anyone else, but i am shocked that we have not set a vin record here in the month of october, especially considering how many vehicle deliveries have been photographed and posted to instagram etc. i have no rational explanation for why a higher vin sighting would not yet have been reported. just seems a long time to go without a new one at this point, compared to the pace at which we saw them rise throughout aug/sep.

They will be mass released just prior to the November 1 Q3 earnings call

How many of those pictures posted have had VINs attached to them? (Most people taking pictures don't care about the VIN, so we don't have much current VIN data right now.)

And most pics are on the road. Hard to catch a VIN at 75mph.

Also seems like a lot of deliveries lately have been outside of Cali, where interest is significantly lower.

Well, we can't talk about the "lack" of VIN numbers here, so there is no way to have a discussion about the Instagram pictures and their lack of VIN reporting. So......

 

[Runt8]

Some day I'm going to see the notification about this thread, come here to look, and actually see a new VIN. It will be glorious!

You could simply roll down the window and shout to one another if its that important.

I think this may be an opportunity for the first good use of a selfie stick.

Don't think this is accurate, but saw this on Teslarati: "While it’s still unclear if Tesla has begun to dig itself out of “deep production hell“, recent sightings of Model 3 vehicles bearing VINs in the thousands suggests that the company is starting to step through the ramp portion of its “S-curve”."

Am I missing something? Per the above, I thought we were only at 521.

I haven't seen any news of higher VINs - hopefully it's true but I'll be taking it with a grain of salt.

I get the feeling Teslarati is always wrong. But I wouldn't mind them being right for once.

The highest VIN is 521, but there were only 200 or so cars delivered.

Sooo......obviously they skip VIN numbers during production.

I think they are referering to the report that new VIN 's were requested. I don't think any were actually reported as being produced/delivered/seen
