so theres some kind of conference call? what time? surprised i hadnt heard about this already
In this video of a Model X with SW version 7.0 I have seen that the Model X has a VIN #5YJXCAE44GF000084 assigned.
Does that mean Tesla Motors produced at least 84 Model X?
Anybody an idea what that VIN could imply?
Someone here era knows how to interpret VINs. I was at launch event. Elons car was VIN ending in 0001
Well, as an engineer, I can tell you that to an engineer 1400 *is not* approximately the same as 1000. It is 40% more. :smile:
I do not really know how to read VINs.
Only thing I do know is that manufacturers have to code some properties of their vehicles in their VINs (like engine type).
Could this be a fake VIN for early production vehicles and thus higher than number of cars actually produced?

edit: looks like its 11 am PST. cant find anything else.
Yes, this is crazy. Can someone else confirm the Tesla conference call at 11am PST. Apparently the topic is on V7.0.
Apparently Elon will take questions only related to V7.0.
IMO, Elon should use this media event to make a statement about 'Production'. He doesn't have to field questions on Production but say something at the beginning. He's made similar 'off topic' statements at the beginning of calls before
IMO, it's a serious missed opportunity if he doesn't comment on Production. I don't know if he's noticed, but TSLA has taken a $50+ hit in the last few weeks. All related to 'Production'/deliveries V guidance.
Sounds like you think whatever he would have to say about production would be positive. You may not be happy with the information he could give.
I'm using the Model S VIN as a template, and this DOT document outlines what the digits mean. ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail/ORG10373.pdf
I really don't think a manufacturer is allowed to have fake VINs. Maybe it's a founder model meant to be used solely for stores and test drives? To me it does look like they've made a founder #84 Model X. Now, whether they've made #000007 to #000083 is the question. Do VINs have to be assigned sequentially?
I believe going alpha on the left-most digit was the original plan on the Model S VIN but then they changed it to have 6 digits.Thanks for the pointer to this. Only 5 digits for unique serial number. What happens when Model Ξ comes out and they eventually produce more than 99,999? Do they go Alpha to increase allotment?

Does anybody have an opinion on how likely this ruling is to have a major negative affect on Tesla Energy sales? And the degree of the impact?

I'm glad he is doing this call because there's a lot of misinformation floating around about it.
Model X Founders are being delivered as we speak and I think it's a couple hundred cars
