Was just going to be my comment as well. I've said it before, even the amount of protection they use on the S and X is marginal in my opinion.

As Lovesword states, its protective wrap to protect the paint. The first car above the truck has it, but hard to see through the tree. The other two cars are white, so with the wrap being white also it blends in. But it you look at the lower valence where the fog lights are, you can see they are covered with the wrap.

No VIN (or any other information really), but a new charging station appeared on plugshare here in North Carolina, and without any explanation, the photo of the charging station had a white Model 3 in it. Very odd!

OH MY DOG! I was feeling a little down today about comparing my lowly model 3 with the new roadster, but OH MY DOG, this car is beautiful! It is the "practical roadster" for 25% of the cost! And a fangirl owns this car!
She is going to make some of us fanboys look sick.

A beautiful new Red Model 3 has appeared at the Brea Mall Tesla Charging location. Those new Model S and X behind the M3 are disappearing fast, so get on down and test drive one today!
Looks like it’s too late! Let’s take a closer look at the Tesla Store Manager’s Model 3:
Seeing the Model 3 and Model S next to each other was a shock. Model 3 is taller! This is Tesla quality and style at an affordable price. For the VIN trackers, it’s in the 700’s. No M3 test drives, but when this Model 3 is parked at the Brea Mall location, take a close look at the fit and finish. You are certain to be impressed.
Enjoy visiting with the Customer Experience Specialists inside. You might be fortunate to enjoy extra special Southern California hospitality during a test drive event!

Wow, we’re definitely getting into the steeper part of the ramp curve! At least two new deliveries and nine spotted being transported in 24 hours time. That combined with all of these other new sightings this past week are very encouraging.

Here's my new plot setting out maximum VIN and # of unique VINs sighted (thanks to @Waiting4M3's list and individual sightings). For reference I included the "official" production numbers (266 produced in Q3, 440 produced through October). Let's see how this graph holds up in the coming weeks...
I am curious when Tesla is going to reserve a new batch of VIN numbers. Should we hit the 5K before end of 2018?
My best guess is that they are now building M3's around VIN numbers 1500-2000.
Also keep in mind that they switch to year 2018 VIN numbers in December.

I don't know that, don't think so. The only thing I know is that Tesla updated their VIN decoder:
