Got VIN this morning when I saw it. It changed to 12/6-12/31 now it’s 12/17-12/27.

my first delivery window: Sept. 23-30
Second window Nov. 10-26
Third window Dec. 5-15
Today is Dec. 6-11
Also got a VIN today.
I’m in the Bay Area, ordered M3P, silver with white interior, full self-driving. Originally ordered 9/23/20.
I’m beginning to think this might actually happen.
Nice! Looks like you might be like the 2nd, maybe 3rd person I've seen in the Houston area get a VIN.

For any devs who were interested in how I was polling to check for a VIN:
GitHub Repo
(Unofficial) Tesla API Documentation
Twilio API Documentation
Deployment
You may notice that the actual function is not wrapped in a loop of any sort. I have this deployed as a serverless application to AWS Lambda. I'm using a CloudWatch Event with Schedule Expression (rate(10 minutes)) to invoke this function every 10 minutes.
You will need to set the following environment variables:
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID,
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN,
TESLA_TOKEN (lasts 45 days, how to generate)
PHONE_NUMBER (Twilio account number which will send the text)
MY_NUMBER (The number by which you'd like to be notified)
If you wanted to run this on a persistent server (including maybe even your own PC assuming your network I/O never sleeps), you could wrap the handler function in a loop and use setTimeout or setInterval, or even use something like node-cron for more granular schedule expressions (i.e., every other Monday or something).
Requirements
You'll obviously need a Twilio Account to generate the SID and Auth Token. They offer a generous free trial (last I checked, $20 worth of texting credit which is WAY MORE than enough). I didn't implement programatic OAuth authentication for the Tesla API here, and instead provided the access token directly because the tokens last 45 days, and I will certainly not be using this beyond that timeframe.
This is by no means robust, polished, or plug-and-play. If the less-techie people would like something that is a bit more intuitive and ready-to-launch, I'd be willing to polish this a bit more.

You guys getting your vins don’t forget to update the spreadsheet. And congrats on your long wait coming closer to its end!
Ordered 10/22. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer. I've got the LR coming though. While I am hitting F5 pretty often, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I'm replacing a 2008 Infiniti G35, so the M3 is going to be pretty much leaps better in almost every way.

Thanks, I guess it looked kinda weird with only half the car tinted. It can't be half-a55ed. Either all clear or all tinted for me!
Very impressed sir! I’ve done many a Twilio integration. And nice choice with AWS Lambda for deployment. Lol I’d totally set this up had it been yesterday. Got my VIN today! But thanks again

I’m in the Bay Area and last night I got a new delivery window then this morning got a VIN then just now got the “Tesla delivery reminder” text saying my M3P will be ready to pick up at the Fremont factory on 12/8. The long wait is finally coming to an end. My configuration is MSM exterior, while interior, full self-driving. I originally ordered 9/23, when the wait times was originally listed as 1 week, so it’s been a long wait.
Congrats. Enjoy! Good news, sounds soon then for us!
