Wow. 2/14's are starting. Yes! I wouldn't worry about the low numbers based on what I am reading.....

Seems like it but from what I’ve read that’s not a bad thing either. Others have reported a VIN in that range and said no issues. Congrats!

I am guessing that we will see VINS for reds and blues possibly next week or week after.
Update for those with trade-ins:
After my VIN was assigned (Midnight Silver, Aeros, EAP configured Jan 29) my delivery specialist (or maybe just some generic customer support person in NV) enabled something on the trade-in section of the Model 3 confirmation page, which allowed me to initiate an SMS to myself, giving me a URL to enter my trade-in info. A really roundabout way of doing it. But the trade-in form was really easy to use. You give it your VIN and it autocompletes make, model, and trim. Then it asks for mileage and condition. 4 photos are required: front 3QTR, SIDE, rear 3QTR, and interior dash. They also wanted a photo of the registration.
Now back to waiting.

As I suggested on another thread or above - I think it would be interesting to see a graph of the number of people who have configured but not yet got delivery on each day. I would expect that each configuration date it would jump up, and then slowly go down as previous configures got delivered. Should stay at about 4 weeks. But, if it jumps up, that shows Tesla not meeting prior delivery expectations. (or maybe just trying to get some extra $2,500 firm deposits in.....) If the number goes down, that could indicate production ramp!
Thanks for the info. I've heard so many stories of Tesla low balling the trade ins that I went ahead and started getting quotes from Carvana and Vroom. Carvana offered me right around what I was hoping I would get. I'm still going to see what Tesla will offer and if they at least match the Carvana quote I'll trade in with Tesla. What are you trading in?
Got a VIN 5707 last night picking up in Marina Del Rey Saturday

I do like what you are showing here, but I have to say it's a bit hard to see with those thin bars.
I wonder: could you get the same kind of interesting data if you charted the cumulative data (as opposed to day by day) and made it a stacked area plot?

It's not Tesla that's lowballing - it's that Tesla is not really in the business of trade-ins like a dealership would be, and they are just providing a service so that people can get rid of their old car if they want. From what I was told, Tesla posts the trade-in on a used market and let dealers, auction houses, etc bid on it. There's no incentive for Tesla to lowball you (or to get you an exceptional deal). Highest bidder "wins" and Tesla just acts as the messenger and coordinator. But yeah, there's no reason to go thru Tesla if you can find some other entity that will pay more for your car.
Trading in a 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Limited. Not sure if I'll commit to the trade-in. I'd be a completely EV household and I feel like it's still good to have an ICE backup.

VIN WATCHER:
I tried this, but couldn't get it to work: Wachete - Monitor web changes
it's supposed to check for changes every 24 hours, which is fine, I can look for removal of the RN### but I can't get it to work

Only every 24 hours? I'm checking every 24 seconds.....
