I am little confused by the some comments here. I know there are as many opinions (information sources) as there are members but even the initial emails states:
***If you intend on financing or leasing a custom order, wait until a VIN is assigned so that you do not exceed the 30-day window for application approvals.
So why/how could they prioritize people that have their profile "complete".
That's my understanding as well. I ordered on 1/18 and didn't complete my profile until last week, when my SA started texting/emailing me saying I need to complete my profile to get a VIN. I then got a non-answer when asking if the profile completion is required to get a VIN

Hi G4z808,
At this time, we are needing you to log into your Tesla Account to confirm your account details and submit your profile completion! It looks like we have a few more boxes to check off to get you prioritized for a VIN match.

I've emailed my delivery specialist about this multiple times, but haven't received any response from Tesla. Do I need to complete my profile to proceed with getting a VIN matched ?
-----
Please complete your profile so you can get VIN matched.
-----
Just to be clear, if I do not complete my profile, I will not get a VIN ?
I'm shooting for delivery sometime in March and dont need to prioritize getting a VIN right now

We just need you to select your payment method.
