VIN Assignment

[mtndrew1]

One can only hope. But I’m not holding by breath. I anxiously await the next batch of VIN announcements from someone one with Midnight Silver.

If given the opportunity I’ll let them know I’m willing to pick up the car in Fremont to speed up the process. It’s a relatively quick drive back to LA.

I’d pick mine up in Fremont, if I could - and I’m 2000 miles away!

I’m hoping that’s me... configured (midnight silver, Aeros) on 2/22 and nothing but crickets since

Midnight silver/aero/EAP in Bay Area and configured on 2/9...still no VIN!

 

[Awc1014]

Black/Aeros/EAP/Los Angeles area
2/14 Config

No Vin

 

[AMIYY4YOU]

Literally the exact same position as you @AMIYY4YOU. Even ordered the same day same config except red. No vin yet and nervous about the state rebate.

hahah I see you waited in the pru.. I waited there too! I waited overnight and was the first in line in fact. However I did delay my config until the 25th despite receiving the invite on the 22nd because I had a lot of difficulty making the justification to buy the LR model :-/

 

[LV Acrobat]

Black/Aeros/EAP/Los Angeles area
2/14 Config

No Vin

Same, Black aeros really hurting right now.

Exactly. I fought with it too until 2/25 after receiving the invite 2/22. I really wanted SR with perhaps AWD...but def SR...but when I see that SR will definitely lose 50% of Fed credit, and perhaps the MA credit, I figured I'd get LR.

No MA credit would be a disaster for me

Silver metallic/18 aero/ irvine Ca. Configured 2/14. Just got my vin.

Sounds like I probably missed this batch of white. Damn.

 

[mcreston]

2/28 invite/config. Midnight Silver, Sport Wheels, San Francisco. No vin yet

I think you made the right decision. The other argument for buying now is that soon they will add more options (AWD, performance etc).. and they will have financial incentives to prioritize most expensive cars first.. and the most expensive cars then will be a lot more than $55k...

 

[ELRev]

Mid-day PDT. So far 1 blue (sport), 2 white (1 each), 3 midnight silver (2 sport, 1 aero). 5 CA, 1 MO.

All signs were pointing to mostly white or some black today. Color me confused.

Any ideas anyone? Bueller?

good point. I don't regret it.. In fact I'm excited to have more range I think that bodes well given that I want this to be my last car until I'm in my 50s (provided it can do at least L3 autonomy).

I was at this unattended non-Tesla building in Fremont at noon, saw 100-200 of M3 with Sport Wheels in the back with 9XXX VIN. I guess we have to wait for another week or two with aero wheels. Midnight Silver Mettalic/aero reserved 2/7, still no VIN for me.

 

[Nurkbonis]

I wonder if perhaps the days where we see random colors like this assigned is that they were cars that initially failed QC checks and were set aside and then fixed. The “normal” progression of VIN assignment is clearly in large batches of one or two colors, so it’s a bit odd when there are random ones trickling in.

I could be completely wrong.

Maybe these are the units that need to be fixed/remanufactured. They are hiding them in some random parking lot.
