Model 3 VIN

I received my VIN #s for MX and MS weeks in advance if delivery.
Does anyone know why I am hearing that the M3 VIN will not be released until about 3 days prior to delivery? I am unable to get a insurance premium estimate without it. Thanks
 
My Home Delivery Specialist provided me the VIN before I even had a solid delivery date. I suspect there are situations where they haven't actually selected the car designated to be yours, which is why the VINs take longer for some rather than others.

If you only need an estimate then any VIN will do (they're all over the place) as long as you get (as appropriate) a RWD vs AWD/P one
 
My IDA was able to get my VIN a day after I had scheduled delivery (8/24) earlier this week. My Tesla page doesn't show the VIN yet and it's been a couple days. Used the VIN to get my insurance quote.

It's my 3rd vehicle on the policy so it was only an additional $700 on my existing $100K/$300K coverage with $200 deduct on both comprehensive & collision with "New Car Replacement" until the M3 hits 15,000 miles, then gap insurance kicks in, which is useless to me since it should already be paid off.
 
Ask and ye shall receive... your vin. I just did and I got it.

...honestly now I'm worried that insurance is going to be off the charts, oh well- I've already come this far... might asw we
Well, I don't have a VIN yet, and I'm supposed to take delivery on September 1st. Was wondering about this actually because it would be nice to get insurance beforehand.
 
Yep - mine was cheap too. I took delivery of my model 3 on Saturday. Rarely are my expectations exceeded, but this car is amazing.

Yea they told me the same nonsense, if you press your sales advisor they'll give you the VIN. Tell them you need to get insurance and that your financing wont release funds if you dont have an insurance binder. Basically they're holding up the deal by holding up the VIN.
