I can't help it. EVERY time I see that shiny purple avatar I want to get that purple. It looks great. I had a bright yellow Z4 (i called it the banana) and it had special interior alcantara insides which i think were yellow accented (i truly don't remember) and people would stop and comment on the car. I have to imagine that happens with the purple. I can only imagine what it looks like in sunlight. Unlike my car, and or my wife's incoming white MY, there is NO way to accidentally walk up to that one in a parking lot!it's not about the number of reactions, it's about the ratio of reactions to posts. Quality over quantity!

you beat me to it. the filing showed N for 2022. it also showed F or A based on Fremont or Austin. I see no planet in which the M would be considered a 2022 when the VIN decoder says it needs an N for that.
i'm still unsure of when the VIN is assigned - can it be assigned BEFORE a build, like my buddy's Polestar that got a VIN 6 weeks before the build (per the email he received) or is it when the car comes off the assembly line, or even starts the assembly line? I wonder if there are VIN plates that are attached to the frame before production, or after - and the 3D VIN numbers you see on cars - i think those are pressed, while the door labels COULD be laser engraved and queued off the rest.
I have no idea.
It DOES make sense to me there has to be an internal ID during the build phase, and the VIN to me is as good a unique identifier as anything else, so my vote would be that a VIN gets assigned to a chassis, and then to an end user when it completes production (what if the car never completes production, because of a major issue?)

8 months of conditioning to Tesla Bull*Sugar*Based on the flyover, it seems like the entire Fremont factory was bastard lot part 2 and they've been waiting on something to complete the cars...
How did you have a VIN for a whole month and not call?
I just got a message from Tesla to schedule an appointment for drop-off. Looks like they will deliver home. Any suggestions on what I need to check at delivery. Thanks

Thank you Mokuzai for your response and explanation. Sorry about all those issue. I guess I should feel quite lucky since I’m at 781 miles and have not encountered any problems other than the charge port not always reacting when it should. I know when you get those mostly cosmetic issues resolved you will be a very happy camper, if you aren’t already.
Hi everyone just got assigned a VIN delivery window is 11/20-12/18 received an email for final payment; are owners making that payment before the delivery date is confirmed ? Thanks for any information.
Are you financing or paying cash? If you are financing, start the loan process. If your state allows, hold on to your downpayment till delivery date and either do it via Plaid (ACH service, not the car) or cashiers check.
I am currently sitting with a VIN and car is in transit - no delivery date. Loan is finalized and I am sitting on my downpayment.

Has anyone paid the balance recently with a personal check? I've done that the last three times. SA hasn't said anything about it, but I didn't ask. Figured I'd just be able to write a check for the difference between my loan amount and the purchase price.
I've seen anecdotal evidence that a push on your EDD out to February or March next year will "come back" to something closer. Any idea how long it takes for the EDD to move back in? Had 16-31 Dec for a LONG time, and now Feb 26-Mar 26. Hope there aren't more supply issues causing this.

I get the whole "you got 100 miles to report defects", but wouldn't that apply only to specific items that could potentially be attributed to the owner? For example, a tear in the upholstery, or a paint chip. If there is a defect in a window (warping, not a crack), or anything else that clearly would be from a manufacturing issue, not usage, that should be a warranty concern, and therefore have no such limitation.
24 to 48 hours typically.

I just received my Vin #MF455***. I'm mad that it's not 2022.

455. I think you may be the first. Up until now I have only see 454. Can you ask them what your build date is? That would be helpful to our knowledge base.I just received my Vin #MF455***. I'm mad that it's not 2022.

Is there a summary post with this knowledge base somewhere?
