How long between VIN assignment and manufacture/delivery?

[hodes]

As the title says, I’m curious how far in advance Tesla will assign me a VIN? Is it after the car is manufactured and ready for transport? Or will they assign the VIN before manufacture? I’m curious if I will have time to sell my current car to Carvana and cash my check before my MYP arrives.

Your order is assigned a VIN as soon as your car is built or just after. Then 3 days to two weeks for delivery depending on your location. You can also get a VIN earlier than expected if an exact config is rejected by someone else.

in the early days of tesla, you would get a VIN and that would be the car that would be manufactured and sent directly to you, since Teslas used to all be custom order. Now they're mass produced in bulk and you are usually assigned a VIN for a car already made and ready for delivery, not a car that is being built. So VIN assignment usually gets you delivery within a month tops.

Even when assigned VIN, many things can (will) go wrong.

In early February I was assigned MYP VIN #1 (from factory) and delivery date - only to be revoked few days before pick up. Assigned VIN #2 (from delivery location) but was found to be with defective wireharness - so It too can't be delivered. VIN #3 was delivered end of March. I could have been without a car if I sold my current at first sight of a VIN.

YMMV.

Just curious. Is Carvana a good place to sell your car? I am also planning to sell my car but was thinking of selling it on FB Marketplace. Not sure what is the best car buyers you can get the best bang for your buck.

Yes but they offer lowest recently.
Try Driveway, Givemethevin, Cargurus or Driveo.
You can also then have them beat the other higher offer.

Carvana gave me a crazy amount of money for my car. More than carmax or vroom

I've actually found shopping around that KBB has been offering the highest with the only downside being you have to drive to a dealership to sell.

Check out Vroom. It was the highest out of 6 different online buyers when I sold my Challenger.

I searched major used car buyer companies, but realized that Tesla trade-in value is higher than those companies. Even I ccan reduce my sales tax.

I was told by my csr that the vin was assigned at the start of production. Some have said 11 days from vin assignment to delivery appointment
