People have asked on the forum when Roadsters were made, so I started an effort to look through pictures of VDS screens and door labels to track the date of manufacture. This topic will contain a list of what I found, and I will edit it to add more if people give the manufacture date of their Roadster.
Here are some MFG dates from door stickers and VDS screens: EP03: 13 Jul 2006 crash tested EP04: 17 Nov 2006 VP01: ??

For TEG's records, #834's birthday looks to be 21-January, 2010. The door sticker only says January, but 1/21/2010 appears to be the oldest entry with a valid time stamp in the logs. Seems to have had a number of problems during "birth"... a number of 154x errors, VMS restarted on 25-January, etc... Not sure I really wanted to see these, but probably not that unusual given the kind of car that it is.
Door sticker on #87 is October 2008 I'll try to remember to look at the VDS screen the next time I take it out....
For the database: My #243 is a 1.5, model year 2008, "birth" date Feb 16, 2009, "Assembled in San Carlos, CA"
EU Sig #112 (112 out of 250) - not to be confound with the american 1-100 Sigs Born Sept. 2009 but called a 2.0 2010
