How fast after production can a VIN be assigned?

[Moose Cadets]

What is the soonest after a production date did you see a VIN being assigned? With all the "they produce 900+ cars a day", when can those cars actually get assigned to people? Days or a week? There has been a few rumors that LR RWD production might happen this week, so I wanted to know if it was likely to see a VIN assignment this week or next (if it was happening).

They can assign it pretty quickly. I know that with Model S and X where they build your car after you place the order you get the VIN before it is even produced.

I was assigned within about 48 hours or so? I don’t know how to tell if I was assigned to a vehicle that was already in route or if it was being built though...
