Yup - I’m Thinking along the same lines - but that risks they offer MY car to someone else and put me back months.For one week, I'll delay...
Any more than that I'll just want the damn thing

The 1000 VIN's are being allocated

Thanks
Interesting that 2/3 would look to wait if offered a late July delivery. The reality with Triumph Ace will be a late August delivery so that feels like a lot of people are going to ask to sit on it until September. Will be interesting to see if Tesla try to reallocate those cars to people willing to take delivery on 31st August pushing us back to the next boat....

With my luck, they will schedule my delivery for early September and when I go to collect the car it will have been registered with the DVLA at the end of August (so 19 plate anyway). I would prefer a 69 plate if it is late August vs early September delivery, but I don't see myself playing that lotto and will be happy to get the car when it is ready for me...
Hmm. Fair comment. Maybe that will be another EU boat, and something else will pop up in between for China/Australia!?

Looking for an email address for another forum member, I stumbled across an email exchange when I queried why Tesla were not honouring FSD price when I first ordered.
At the time, I didn’t put much significance to them. But in later light of day, thinking out loud, they just raise more questions.
Above implied when I added tow bar, I got new order but order number remained same 06xx
Later email implied that I my car would have been delivered or imminent by now, yet still no vin. This was based on changed order of adding tow and I asked about my delivery schedule.
Seem to me that they contradict each other and info I verbally got from elsewhere that changing order quickly, did it day after tow was announced so couldn’t have been much quicker, had no effect on where you were in the queue. Info from 23rd May contradicts info on my booking invoice on account, ie it retained original invoice number.
Yet still no vin seems like it may reflect 23rd May email

Dunno about today, per se, but there isn't any rhyme-nor-reason for VIN in source code. My best guess is that its an indication that an allocation has been made, but they get redone at times so I am doubtful you can read much into it. Beats me why any "unconfirmed data" is in the source code at all ... but Hey! this is Tesla ...

Day 2 Reservation (day 1 online) which I think was 1st April 2016. Order placed on May 1st, order number near to 1000. Pretty sure the VINS are allocated after vehicles loaded so looking at mid-August delivery. whooop !

Finally got a VIN in my source code..
Wasn’t a reservation holder, ordered black PM3+, black interior and FSD on the 8th May.. haven’t changed anything on it since
No call or anything yet though

You’re best to search the source code for “5YJ3” as that will definitely be a Model 3 VIN. I do that because for some reason I’ve always had a Model X VIN in my source code, but alas, no Model 3!Half an ago I checked my source code for "5Y" - nothing.
Checked again just now and it's there! Nearly jumped out of my seat... Until I realised it isn't followed by a J... Its not a VIN
They're teasing me!

SO I have had a call from Tesla to tell me that my M3, Black, SR+, AP only will be with me in August (ordered June), BUT I don't have a VIN in my source code.
I don't know what this means, or if it's of use to anyone? but I see so many people putting all their faith and passion into these mystical numbers and figured it might help qualm some people's fears? (Or possibly fuel more anger, but that's not my intention - honest!).

Yes it's just laziness I search for 5Y as its never been there until today. Its just contained in some meaningless string of text, not even anything as exciting as a Model X VIN

I search for, including quotes "vin" - if I see 8 of 8 I know I'm going to be disappointed. I can never remember the 5yj
