No, I've just been extraordinarily busy, plus the junk VIN data from June just makes it almost not worth the time and effort. Why go out on a limb with crap data?
As it stands I can probably make a smart sounding argument about any delivery value between ~4700 and ~5300. But it would still be based on junk data. Only thing I can exclude (probably) are fanciful predictions of 5600+ sales or absurdly low ones below 4500.
If I actually attempt to analyze that junk I come up with ~5,150 deliveries if I go off of the halfway decent data through the first week of June, then tack on production rates of ~500/week for the remainder. If I attempt some kind of numerical analysis solely on the VIN data, by excluding the apparent European VIN blocks and by making the "mistake" of assuming that the number and distribution of data points actually has meaning, I come up with some number between ~4800-5100. But that latter work relies on a junky methodology and junky data along with junky assumptions about the actual size of the European blocks.
My strongest data points to continued high ASP (~$94,300, excl 40kwh). Well under 30% of my data set is 60kWh, and all of those (along with everyone else) are loaded up with options. There were an unknown (~100-300) number of 40kWh cars delivered which will cause a temporary hit on ASP, but its obviously not much of a factor. Unfortunately, all of those projections are based on a relatively weak methodology compared to estimating production or measuring relative process flows (both of which are useless in June).
Margins exclusive of credits are probably in the 15-19% range, though I'm willing to accept any number from 10-20% as long as it doesn't include any credits. With credits, I see the clear possibility of some absurdly high number that will make the NASDAQ 100 sit up and giggle like a little girl does the first time she see's Mr. Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street.

Q2 VIN data

Note that all of the data points in the red boxes were delivered in the last three days, showing how production runs were skipping VIN's in bands.
In the first week of June you get a skip from ~11,000/11,400 to ~12100, then another immediate leap to ~12,600. It should be obvious that Tesla did not produce 1,600 cars in ten days. The vertical line shows that Tesla would have produced ~4,700 cars on the pre June trend line. However, it very much looks like Tesla upped their production rate to 500+, probably in the first week of June.
I've seen references to a VIN ~11,700, but it appears that those were likely hit during the first and second week in June while Tesla was skipping VIN's somewhere on the two horizontal red arrows. It hardly matters, because it seems obvious that on any given day by mid to late June, Tesla was producing VIN's with huge intraday skips, resulting in daily banding. An analysis of the data in late June indicates interleaved blocks of VIN's with U.S. VIN's separated by European VIN's (not shown on the graph).
