The 1000 VIN's are being allocated
- Thread starter -DB-
- Start date
Tesla do have storage / car parks they use to hold stock. When Tesla were messing me around with an inventory Model S, the car was located somewhere in Coventry (poor car
) ahead of planning to get it to Dartford, so there is a possibility of moving stock around if they wanted to / if it was beneficial.I am a bit dissapointed to have not received a VIN yet. I too have ordered the SR+ however this was completed on 1st May as well as putting down a reservation on day 2.
Fingers crossed I hear some good news soon.

I was told that VIN's are not allocated until they have arrived in UK. But I've been told lots of things that have turned out not to be the case.

I keep being told by Tesla that cars are allocated in order of reservation and that the order number is irrelevant. Currently i only have a reservation number RN109*****4. I'm assuming i'll get an order number once finance is approved etc. I'm still debating over contract hire vs PCP but have been assured that this is not holding up my delivery date.

How do you decode the reservation number. Ours is RN109*24**5. Does that mean we are 24**5 in the reservation order?
We didn't order blind, so waited until specs and pricing was announced, iirc mid 2017. So a year and a bit after many.

It's on your booking invoice - it's the last 4 digits of your invoice number
If you read back on all the waiting rooms for all the models from all the other countries cars were mostly matched to orders based on the speed and complexity of the transaction. Tesla biggest headache is space to keep cars so they were under very clear instructions to move as many cars in the quickest possible way. There are literally pages of people moaning about reservation times.
They may deny this but based on everywhere else particularly with the early orders they appear to favour methods which get the cars off their premises in the the fastest way.

No phone call, but I’d already confirmed all the details when I called them about something so that may be why...
Reservation February 2018...

Thanks, but thats my order number, xxxx06xx.
Its my reservation I'm trying to work out where I am in the pecking order. The one that starts RN109. I suspect the answer is, some way down the list.
