I have been holding back for some days not to post here the nonsense I have read about rejecting a 2021 VIN.
Somehow these assumptions are coming from people that have no idea about car production.
A vehicle gets a VIN assigned the moment is it listed to start production, not after it is build so the theory it got the VIN and set to heat up in the sun for months goes Poof.
I had the pleasure of speaking with someone at Tesla about finalizing my documents and we both were very candid about my 2021 car. He told me clearly that back in nov 2021 when i was assigned a VIN and it went Poof is because production VIN were assigned but some parts were not available to complete the car. Since that list of cars were not able to be build yet( will not start till 2022 but only a handful did), the VINs were taken away till the production was schedule to start. This production of a 2021 vins were already recorded and officially assigned but not able to build.
I asked when did my car began actual production, he said in the beginning of 2022. My car was build same time as others 2022.As of yesterday, my new crispy fresh 2021 XLR was completed and on its final inspection for transport.
I also talked about the cases of damage cars that were been delivered. He explain that car leaves without any external damage from the factory but unfortunately cars do suffer damage during transportation. This I know very well since I do work in the auto industry and have witness cars damage during transport and the company that did the transport normally pays for the damages.
In two weeks I will be taking delivery of a fresh 2021XLR with as much joy as if it was a 2022. Actually it is a 2022 in heart just had a birth certificate for sometime.
and BTW, the value of a build Q4 2021 is about the same as Q1 2022. What dictates value is miles, condition, any accidents/damage and wear/tear. so anyone that rejected a 2021 passed on a great car.
Exit stage left...............
