wow! I had 131xx but then my vin disappeared and I got 90xx instead. Now my car is in the SC fixing panel gaps (picked up two weeks ago) I’m sure it will be fine, but definately bring the checklist.

Well I configured MSM+Aero 4/2 also, and live near the factory, and also have no VIN, so location may not be the issue...Configured 4/2
MSM, Aero, EAP - still no VIN
maybe since all the others I'm seeing are in Fremont. I should've moved from CA after I got my M3.
Configured 4/10/18

Similar config as you but done on 3/27. I wish I could forget about the order for a week and do other stuff. But no. I have to obsess.
Congrats! We must have been pretty close in line. I didn't note the exact time but I think it was 1-1:30. Ordered on 4/7. Blue Aero. EAP, FSD. No VIN yet. Keep us posted on delivery.

Heh, yep been collecting Oakley stuff since '93 or so. I was able to snag "xmetal" on a variety of forums and emails before the internet was cool.
Can't wait to get the 3, been wanted a Tesla since the original roadster!

And yet, that video clearly showed the cars moving while being painted.
0:38 the gap on the left of the hood is to the right of the line on the wall
0:42 the gap is now to the left
You can easily see the movement if you open those images in separate tabs in your browser then alternate between those two tabs.

Painting the car on the move probably isn't as difficult as it initially sounds. The movement will be linear and slow. The robots are on a linear rail so they can match speed to the car.
Total guess since the only "robot" work I've done is building and running a 3D printer, but I'd say they programmed the robots sitting still, then added a linear motion along the rail to them after the paint movements were ironed out. I'm not sure if these expensive robots work on g-code, but it would be pretty trivial to add a linear motion along another axis to g-code designed for the rest of the motions.
Not trying to suggest anyone that commented doesn't know what they're talking about, but there's an amusing XKCD that illustrates that sometimes the reasons why task is or is not difficult isn't always obvious.
Awesome, this gives me hope that we’ll see a VIN soon. Our build is basically the same (we went with FSD) and ordered ~2 weeks after you. With any luck, maybe we’ll have a car in a few weeks.
Fascinating. Configured a few days apart, both Red/Aero, got VINs on the same day that are wildly different. I think we can probably safely say that low VINs have little to do with build date. As a fellow Red/Aero configuration I'm super jealous of you both!
