I updated sheet to show i got VIN 8/8/18. I am currently only P3D aero white interior on the sheet w/ VIN assigned, granted someone might not have updated. Someone got delivery in a week from VIN assignment WOW, doubt that happens

Just to confirm, even though you are technically a non-owner (since you haven't taken delivery yet), you still have / can utilize a referral code? That's awesome, and you actually answered a question I've been wondering myself for a few days now. Thanks!

No sweat -- just explaining why it didn't show up. It actually still didn't show up until I adjusted my query to allow people who had a VINdate but no VIN; yours now appears, and so does @ccutrer. Still no joy for the P+ with black crowd.

Great, "20, Black" is the loser it seems likeNo sweat -- just explaining why it didn't show up. It actually still didn't show up until I adjusted my query to allow people who had a VINdate but no VIN; yours now appears, and so does @ccutrer. Still no joy for the P+ with black crowd.
I can jump in on this... There are 4-5 indicators in my mind that the production configuration has changed. making it probable that the 20" with black interior could be close on the horizon. Remember that Tesla is going to do everything they can to push out the high margin cars as quickly as they can.
- Exhibit A: 18" P- cars with white interior are starting to receive VINs (potentially indicates seat configs have been modified on the lines)
- Exhibit B: Tesla confirming to Fred Lambert that Obsidian black is entering production, making his car next week. (again showing that they are changing up the production line. Also Fred has a 20" w/ black interior)
- Exhibit C: Tesla registering close to 10,000 AWD VINs in the last few days.
- Exhibit D: Tesla promised timelines of 12-16 weeks for first buyers and 1-2 months for others... we are coming up on that time limit, I'm sure they don't want to anger their highest $ customers
- Exhibit E: Almost all the White Seat P+ cars have been assigned VINs... there is nowhere else to go but 20" w/ black seats for maximum profit.
I would guess we will see some 20" black seat cars get VINs by the end of the week.

I was mainly talking about Fred Lambert's build referenced earlier in this thread, plus a couple of other people who have mentioned they have an alert for P+ black seats. Also, the white seated P- builds are now being favored instead of the black seated P- builds. So, that to me points that there is change happening in the batches that Tesla is building. I am hoping the VINs pulled this week contain a lot of P+ black seats. I don't expect to receive an alert until the week of August 18th at the earliest. But, I hope others start receiving the alerts.
For reference purposes, here is the post from earlier in the thread.
Look what I found:
A P3D+ with black interior going into production next week, for Canada!
Just got my confirmation for the Performance package update to my P3D. It did push me from Sept-Nov to Oct-Dec.
If Dec, that means no summer tires fun in the midwest. Boo.
Hopefully if they start making them, as a reservation holder, might be sooner but who knows.

Are you a first day reservation holder? Just curious how your delivery estimate compares to others. Let me know. Thanks.

Did you mean April 1st, 2016? March 31, 2016 was for onsite reservations until 8PM Pacific I think it was, then it was online.

Keep in mind that it’s just an estimated delivery date and you also need to accept delivery. I’m in the sept-nov window and am just being cautiously optimistic I’ll get the full credit. Need a buffer in case you decide to reject delivery due to defects.

... and I'm now off the sheet. My delivery advisor successfully delayed delivery for me (at my request) until October (after we move): "I’ll unmatch your current Performance Model 3."No sweat -- just explaining why it didn't show up. It actually still didn't show up until I adjusted my query to allow people who had a VINdate but no VIN; yours now appears, and so does @ccutrer. Still no joy for the P+ with black crowd.
