    The newest version of the Model 3 is now in production. First VINs (Vehicle Identification Numbers) have started to come in for the Model 3 Mid Range aka Model 3 MR. VINs are assigned to cars after the car enters production. First deliveries are expected next week. The Model 3 Mid Range was nicknamed ‘Lemur’ after Elon’s...

    If the only 2 supposedly being produced have a duplicate VIN, what are the odds it's a mistake of some sort or a prank?

    Those 5's are just a masking bit. If you dont give the full vin in the tracking sheet, it inserts 5's. No duplicate

    I hope you're right but I don't think so. Please see here, he's confirming that's his actual VIN with 555

    That said, there's now another MR on the tracker that has a delivery date of Nov 15 in South Carolina (east coast), so it seems that things are progressing :D

    Nov 15th would make it 4 weeks to get to the East coast. I really hope that's correct... Tesla also just sent an email out saying to order soon to guarantee delivery by the end of the year so I think for us who have ordered in the past 2 weeks, we're good.

    It was not mentioned in the latest email but the website did state that right before the MR was announced (not anymore though). See Tesla urges customers to buy new Mid-Range Model 3 now to get the full tax credit

    I believe the 10/15 date applied to the pre MR announcement orders. If we go by the 10/15 date, all MR's to the east coast would have no guarantee of qualifying for the tax credit.

    Received this marketing email from Tesla yesterday:

    We recently introduced a more affordable Model 3 Mid Range Battery option for $34,200 after federal tax credit and gas savings.*


    As a reminder, the full Federal Tax Credit of $7,500 ends after December 31, 2018.


    Current delivery timelines are 4 weeks for the west coast, 6 weeks for central and 8 weeks for the east coast. For delivery under 4 weeks, you can pick up your car directly from our Fremont factory.
