Model 3 LR RWD Low VIN Concern?

At that time you had to get the long range and premium interior. And we got the stock aero wheels. The most comfortable car we have ever ridden in.

You still have to get the premium interior, I got the 18" wheels too, Midnight Silver is the color I chose.

Are folks quoting the last 5 digits of the VIN?

The rep gave me some digits (last 5) of 6xxxx but told me October build date. Is that possible?

When I asked for vin they did ask why? And have me the last five digits.

I received a 038 VIN today with paint issues, glass roof that needed to be replaced and a scraping/grinding noise anytime you went over 40mph. I did not accept and back to the waiting game

I have a VIN 72xx and it is solid. No build issues at all. I just took it to work for a group that supplies to automotive companies and he looked CLOSE for fit and finish as there have been so many reports. And he was amazed he could not find any issues.

Wonderful news.
I'm convinced (but can't prove it) that your M3 was assembled at a "high point" when most of the assembly issues had been worked out.
Now, with the recent ramp-up, quality control appears to have slipped (based on numerous owner reports). One writer even suggested that recent shoddy assembly is okay .... leaving it up to the SC to correct the defects.
If that is indeed the current policy .... it is a faulty rationale.

I think that is likely a writer without a Model 3. A good friend got one last week and he LOVES it. No issues.

Now that a few months have gone by I’d like everyone’s opinion on a super low VIN (under 1000) used M3 for sale in my area. Car appears to be well kept, but I can’t see panel gap issues from pictures. The suspension issue has been fixed by Tesla. I imagine it has the original rear seats with less padding and I imagine it has the wind noise issue with the windshield.
My question is, how much of a risk is buying an under 1000 VIN M3?
