I was in line 1 & ½ hours before Beverly Hills Tesla opened. Elon Musk came down the waiting line giving everyone a high five. I made two reservations (279xxx & 280xxx). Being just north of the factory on the 405 may have helped.

There's nothing coded in the number. It's the key to a record in a SQL reservation table, generated using an Identity column incremented on insert of new rows. UID is the key to your 'My Tesla' account record. No magic.
Could be but I'm a non-owner, purchasing only one vehicle, and my ID # is 497XXX.
We should also know what defines 'west coast' priority of deliveries. Does that mean up north (California) only or does is stretch down the coast to San Diego? How many vehicles?
Then, how do you factor in my reservation will probably highly optioned (est. $70K or more) but I also think I'm out almost 200,000 vehicles. I think there's potential for buyers to get upset when they see higher sequence numbers being filled before their's - no?

OMG I don't look for a day and this happens! I am not a current owner. I reserved in the first minute that online orders were taken on 31/03. My number is 425XXX. Seems to fit the sequence of order pretty well, of course the sequence of deliveries given that I live in Ontario will be something else.
It's what happens today. Look at the Model X.
In a few years, the #1, #2, and #3 threads based on message volume and bickering, on TMC will be the 1) sequence of the Design Studio opening, 2) sequence of confirmations of VINs, and 3) sequence of deliveries - all driven by this number.

I ordered 2. I was about 100th in line, at the Toronto Lawrence store, on March 31st. My numbers are 373XXX and 373XXX and are 51 apart. The funny thing is the order I placed first, has 51 more than the order I placed next.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems even the earlier reservations in other countries start around the 360k mark... which means I'm probably between the first 10 to 20k reservations... but I will be leap frogged by employees and owners of course. Still... exciting!!
Easy place to enter your common reservation ID and see it ALL organized in table form

Reserved in DC around 5:30 PM on 3/31.. Non-owner, single reservation. 404XXX. My blind estimation was ~80-90,000th in line which would be about right with a ~330,000 starting point.
I reserved on the morning of 4/1, and the confirmation letter arrived in email about 10 hours later. Credit card wasn't charged until 4/3. Citibank is sending me a receipt with date and time stamp of when the payment transaction was acknowledge by Tesla - not the posting date. Unfortunately, they couldn't tell me that, even with the transaction reference number. So much for transaction processing systems. Go figure.
And where does one find the "newly found reservation number" that is not the RNxxxxxx number shown in one's My Twsla account?

3/31 at about 10:15 AM Eastern Time (New York City store). #37373X - Not unhappy about that. Hoping to load it up for an early 2018 delivery.

It will be interesting to see how prior owners, fully loaded vehicles, and location of orders, get to jump the cue when it comes time to order, and what our number mean when it comes to priority at that time.
