Model S: VIN 65513, Model 3: VIN 1913
Ah... a VIN that has special meaning to me: it belonged to my original Model S 60 from exactly 5 years ago.
Sorry for the nostalgia-filled interruption. Carry on with the regular programming.

Looks like this is the best place to post this.
I went to pick up my car today at he Palm Springs service center and saw 5 Model 3s.
They told me I could look but I couldn’t touch them or open the doors and look inside.

Let's get rid of the fobs and cards and use 'Tesla Grin' recognition.

Yeah, seriously, in the era of Face ID, why not? We'll have all these people staring weirdly into the camera on the B pillar!
Franz driving what appears to be a Performance Model 3... Note: red brake calipers, what appears to be 20" wheels (?), and new Roadster 2 style "TESLA" badging on the trunk. I hope this means it's getting closer to production!

Finally got to see the Unicorn.
. 20 M3's delivered to Service Center in past 2 days
. apart from the ones that were not unloaded, I saw 5 parked
. saw all 5 colors. Based on the professional pics my choice was midnight silver, but blue looked really good in natural lights with the dust and all still not washed out
. Vins 3598 (in pic above), also 3582, 3519 and 2585
!vinbot Model 3 #3598 #3582 #3519 #2585
looks like Model 3 VINs ran 01/20 and is picking up Vins reported in TMC as well

I think these Model 3 beauties should be delivered to customers --- a few blocks away --- at the evil empire (a.k.a. NADA national headquarters).
I doubt it because it has real plates, not MFG pates. I suspect he just customized it. (I don't think a Performance Model 3 has gone through all of the hoops to be able to be legally registered.)
If I buy a Model S 75D and then buy this set of red brakes, do I have a performance model then?Franz driving what appears to be a Performance Model 3...

Model S Brake Calipers Set
Red brakes don'y have to mean anything and what I can see it looks like 19" wheels.
It is the same Model 3 he has had all along. One of the first ones delivered. But it looks like they have (at a minimum) updated the brakes, wheels and rear logo.
Who knows else they have updated on his car...

Bad camera angles or background lighting . There is no orange peel on any of the colors. I finally saw the Black in person and may lean that way for my 3. Have the White X and still do love the midnight silver (old P90DL).

Except a CA plate beginning with 7A would be from quite a while ago (they’re into the 8’s now). As in, long before Model 3 started production. So I wonder if this plate is pulled off of another Tesla, or something. Point is there’s no way that plate goes with ANY Model 3. I realize it’s not proof of anything one way or another, but just food for thought...
Sorry, I think you are wrong. I think Tesla had a bunch of sequential plates and put them on the first batch of Model 3s that got delivered over 6 months ago.
If you go to the DMV and ask for a plate on your new car they tend to give you a newer sequence, but a manufacturer / "dealer" can have pre-ordered blocks of plates and assign them when they are ready.
