For our first order, I was one of the one's who got the "July delay" email after ordering on 4/30. So, I was expecting one that was being "stock piled".
I knew within a 30 minute window of when the system assigned my VIN on June 7th. Later in the following week I was given my VIN.
My VIN was 25XXX. At the time, a lot of people were getting VIN's in the 30k's. I would often see people online worry when they were being assigned a VIN in the 20k's.
My Delivery Date was June 30th. I got my car a day after it was delivered to the service center. The build date was June 18th. So basically, My VIN was assigned before it came off the line. I'm also on the east coast so it had to make a couple trips before getting to me.
This is one of the reasons people should stop worrying about VIN's or cars being stock piled. If anything, model 3's are a lot less "stock piled" than traditional cars that are made far in advanced and stockpiled. I live about 45 minutes from the Phila airport and in that vicinity there are a handful of purgatories for new cars. I'm also sure there are a ton more places that have even bigger stock piles of gas cars.
Then, they have to make it to the dealership and sit for another few weeks or months. Lastly, those cars have the pleasure of being sit in by all different types of rear ends, some of which sit on public toilets, don't know how to wash their hands, and use their clothes as napkins.
Buying a model 3 has turned on a lot of different antennas on in all of us that weren't there when we were buying cars that ran on dead organisms.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Side note: I'm not a germaphobe or anything and half of my cars in the past were purchased used. I'm just being a tad bit extra to get my point across
