Yup! I was *SHOCKED*! I assumed I'd be waiting weeks on a VIN. A friend of mine in AZ configured a month ago and still waiting on his VIN. I get mine in 2 days....he's quite envious. LOL

Well, it got worse yesterday - no VIN assignments reported. So, definitely the plant shutdown has shutdown the VIN assignments as well. Not sure where all those cars on the Fremont lot are going.
Well I configured on Wednesday of this week, and didn't login to the Tesla portal until today....but I saw a VIN staring at me. So the VIN was issued either today or yesterday.

Out of curiosity, how did you change the wheels on the order? Just called the service number on the page?

I just called and switched to the Sport Wheels. They told me it would be $500 and I am risking delaying delivery. They waived the change fee one time after I requested that they check with a supervisor since no VIN was assigned. Heavily implied again that I was risking delaying my delivery but could not give me any specifics. I'm hoping that it was just a line they have to say to try and discourage changes from happening.
I rolled the dice to try and get my car a bit earlier so lets see what happens.

Did they threaten that it may delay your delivery? They did to me when I called today.

You can also worry about the Hayward fault breaking and giving all the cars being assembled a good shakedown.
I'm fairly certain new employees get training before they shove them on the Line. The assembly process is heavily scripted.
• Reserved: 3/31/2016 in line (10:30am)
• Invited to configure: 3/22 (wanted SR)
• Configured: 4/11 (after conceding SR + full tax credit was pretty unlikely)
• Pearl White, Aeros, EAP
No VIN yet. I’m actually hoping my car isn’t built until after the production line upgrades. The quality of the cars seem to be increasing after line upgrades... so far.

That was my thought too, if you get an instant vin it means it's done and sitting.

Now you just gave me another thing to worry about! haha

There seem to be more silver cars built than configured, so that might have helped you get your lightning-VIN

I'm pretty sure your VIN lacks the ability to "staring at you". You may be anthropomorphizing your VIN number. Good news is you now get to wait for contact by inside sales, then waiting for delivery, then comes waiting for your first software update. I'm pretty sure this two year wait for our cars has got us very addicted to waiting. I took delivery on March 31st of a Pear White Aero wheels car VIN 11842. Running the latest software build and I'm a happy camper albeit in waiting detox. Not sure what comes next....
Ordered on 4/18 , Midnight Silver 19" EAP, Got VIN Assigned today: 17xxx

Now I can't help but wonder if I'd have a VIN if I just got the 19" wheels.
Wow!
Where are you located!? I got midnight silver too. But Aeros and EAP. NO VIN.
