May AWD/Performance Orders -- VIN / Status Thread

[Bimbels]

Ok, so edit button has been gone since all checks green around 7/10, I confirmed over a week ago - have had the "thank you for confirming page" since - today, same page but it not longer says thank you for confirming - that text is just gone. And still no VIN according to Ecodedvin on develop page.

Why would you do the javascript thing if you got a VIN? Lol

The way this works is the VIN is Base64 encoded into the URL of the Owner's Manual and in the JSON that loads the page. I'm on mobile so I can see there is a VIN assigned, but I can't decode it easily.

This group is mostly just keeping me sane because at least there are many other people as anxious as me

I would say much the same but correct the word 'sane' by adding the prefix 'in'. Depending on your perspective on political and linguistic affairs you might well ignore the 'in' part. However, for me it is different. My page, as of early this morning, now shows:
A delivery experience specialist is reviewing your changes and will contact you prior to delivery

I have the new “confirm” screen without an edit button. No vin in the page source. But the “download the Tesla app” and the order agreement appeared yesterday. Anyone else seeing this? I had an order agreement on the old “confirm” page but it disappeared when I got the new screen.

Not sure if it matters but I got that screen about a week ago after getting the more accurate price breakdown, and then saw i had a VIN via the javascript command last night, although who know when I actually got it. Haven't heard from anyone at Tesla yet, but the VIN is 73xxx so if the VIN tracking twitter is anything to go by, the build date can't be anything earlier than July 15th.

Anyone know how long they take to build a car from start to finish? I know their throughput is around 5k a day, but I'm guessing they aren't finishing the same day they start a build. Not sure how heavily pipelined their factory is.

Oh I have a owners manual also but when I copied the url into mobile notepad the end just said vin=

I wonder when they will update the OM to account for AWD and P AWD differences. (The bit about the snow chains, and the HV connections needs to be updated).

If you define “build a car” as “start to finish” it depends on how you define “start”. Body panels are all stamped well in advance of being attached to the frame. After the frame and body panels are assembled, it’s a “body in white” that then has to be painted. After painting is complete then it goes on the assembly line.

So the rough answer to your question is “weeks, not days” from “start to finish”. Depending on how you and Tesla define “start”.

 

[Bimbels]

It takes 3 days for an S/X IIRC - because of the paint.

Especially if you take the battery into account, since the cells have to be aged for weeks before they are assembled into a pack.

I'm not sure I believe that. If it takes 3 days for an S/X to go from start to end of the line that would mean that there are ~850 cars in the assembly line path.

If the Model 3 took 3 days as well that would be ~2,100 cars in the assembly line path. (That's ~6 miles of cars that are bumper to bumper.)

 

[Bimbels]

That's what we were told on the factory tour, which I've been on 3x now. But as ecarfan pointed out, it depends on how you define "build a car."

Before I drive myself crazy checking one more thing several times a day, can you confirm that your VIN isn't displayed anywhere on the order page but you were still able to see it in the debug console?

Correct, VIN wasn’t anywhere on the normal pages. The only way I found it was in the JavaScript console.

I have the same error. This isn’t the first time.

Yep

 

[ras2645]

i got a VIN! will post it later when I figure out how to do the javascript thing.

MSM, non-P AWD, Sport Wheels, Black Interior.

When did you reserve and when did you configure?

 

[tommyboy21]

Ya, @autospy how did you get your VIN? Did they email you? Please give us some more details on your reservation and configuration...for our sanity.

Wow. That surely beats a few reservation holders. Previous or current owner? Location?

 

[lairdb]

Makes me wonder how they determine who gets what first. Current owner in California reserved first day online, ordered on 6/30 white/black interior with performance pkg without EAP. Haven’t heard anything about it since placing order. Nothing has changed on the site and Edit is still there.

PP with black interior seems to be a delay factor. (I base this on my one data point, of course.)
