How low is too low?

I've seen people post on here that they consider any Model 3 below VIN 16,000 to be a low VIN. What do people consider a Model 3 VIN below 1,000? I've seen some pop up for sale on the used market but i'm hesitant because I assume they have build issues (rear seat padding, panel gaps, wind noise from the windshield) not counting the suspension issue which should have been fixed on all of them by Tesla. Anyone own a VIN under 1,000 that can speak to the quality of the cars? Thanks in advance

I know someone who has a 1xx serial number car and it has lots of issues. Mostly rattles and squeaks. Tesla says that they don’t cover Noise Vibration and Harshness issues after one year, so consider that as well.

I have a 16xx serial number car with over 23k miles on it and have had no major issues with it at all.
