I am so aching to see another example with white interior, preferably with blue paint, as that's what I would like to get.

Back on topic ... here are few more photos of the Model 3 from the launch event

The folks who follow the registration information in Europe said that this is a car used by the employees in the Netherlands (maybe for test drives or show room) and it is not a car provided and registered for an individual customer.
Just to clear up : this is not a customer car, it's not a production car. It's a car to test specific European parts of which the charging port is the most important one (CCS or not, and if so what power can it accept)
from reddit, VINs in100-200. I think this is the new fremont delivery center but not sure, haven't been there yet.
production is ramping up clearly.

They must not make their cars in a numerical VIN sequence. VIN 141...... has been spotted/photoed for a while now.

It's well known that they don't. And as your own delivery draws near it will cause much anguish as you see forum members with VINs (sometimes considerably) higher than yours get delivered (sometimes a month or longer) earlier than you. VINs are assigned sequentially (and usually in batches) shortly after you confirm your order, but then production is scheduled in batches, pulling in vehicles with similar characteristics (including but not limited to drivetrain, paint color, wheels, interior options, destination, or the whim of someone at Tesla that just wants to laugh at the forums' consternation over ordering). We're still early in Model 3 ramp so being off by 100 is no big deal. I have a relatively early Model X (6714), and VINs as high as upper 8000s to 9000s got delivered a few weeks before me. My guess is the delay for me (even though I had mostly "good" options for quick delivery) is my relative closeness to the factory, so I was easy to slot in and deliver it a few days after production at the end of a quarter, keeping their "cars in transit" quarterly number low.
i saw that video posted on facebook by an employee that took delivery. he was great, answered people's questions (his VIN is 177). so unless he was blatantly violating an NDA, which I doubt, there is no NDA for employees taking delivery of the 3, just haven't been delivered to enough folks yet that would post on social media.
he also posted a pic of the seats folded down, very nice!
I think that he might have just been burned at the stake by Tesla, trying to confirm this with Elon right now...

Confirmed, last night. Looks like they got the entire extended family too. Tesla now taking their management cues from Game of Thrones. Winter is definitely coming...
