No recent VIN assignments?

[Skidmark]

So today I got a call from Tesla (Nevada), don't really know what for. They told me that after I get VIN, I will need to get insurance. Okay? They also said to expect delivery in 4-6 weeks. It's been already four weeks: ordered 1/26, silver, 18" aero, CT, still no VIN. Sounds like another two weeks, at least. Anybody else got this kind of call?

I got a call from my DS a few days ago, but I believe that was prompted by me calling in asking how I can change my registration address from what I initially locked in. He called me to confirm it was updated and that delivery should happen soon after my VIN is assigned, but said nothing about insurance. I had already submitted my insurance through the account, but the insurance does not yet cover the Model 3 obviously without a VIN.

Join the club. Same configuration on 1-24-18. Must be an issue with White/Aeros...

I configured 1/27/18, also white w/aeros. No VIN yet. Looks like we’re all in the same boat.

I configured on 2/4. Black, aeros, EAP. No vin yet. Live in the SF Bay.

i think we established a few pages back that it's the Aero wheels that's holding us back, not the paint color.

At the moment it seems to be a lack of production that's holding *everyone* back.

With respect to VIN assignment. I'm guessing it's already been proven but just wanted to note that a friend of mine ordered the same day I did and ultimately took delivery on the same day that I did. His VIN was 43XX and door plate showed as manufactured February 2018. My VIN was 54XX and door plate showed manufactured January 2018. The VIN and manufacture month are stamped on the same door plate.

I got a low VIN for my delivery time, a 2017 VIN later in January. The car has been perfect with no problems whatsoever, and even came with an Alcantara headliner. No complaints here.

Knowing you're a long time regular on the forum I'm sure they made a special effort to get you a perfect car. I'm hoping they do the same for me!

I think they released a batch last night. Yours is also white

They must have released a batch of vin last night. Is yours also a pearl white

I am starting to believe this delay is a color production issue. But a trade is going to also delay everyone by two days after the vin is assigned. But the trade has no influence on the VIN assignment. My two cents.

I think you’re right. Fortunately, no trade in for me.

@Mayo How did you change from aeros to 19s? Did you have to call your DS? Did they charge you the $500 change fee as listed in the purchase agreement?

 

[Mayo]

I had to call they did it over the phone. No i did not get penalized for changing the order. I think they would have if I had a VIN assigned

You have sports wheels? Congrats btw

His are aero. There's a run of White Aeros at 74XX. Another guy got a VIN from that range in DFW a couple weeks ago (according to the spreadsheet). Must still be assigning them? Or possibly started to build them again if they are stopping/starting in different ranges.

Does anyone have a link to the spreadsheet that they can post?

So I configured my car on the 15th and have not received a VIN, despite the sales associate saying it should be "imminent". I was starting to get worried but looking at the Model 3 Invites spreadsheet, it looks like very few VINs have been assigned for people who have configured in the last few weeks. Filtering by configuraiton date, I see 68 configured cars since January 6th, but only 9 vin assignments (~13%). Do we know what's going on to cause the delays?
