VIN Assignment

[LV Acrobat]

According to your post I see no red cars, so I would say they are getting the shaft.

Whoops,

RED: 34 (2nd place)

Well then!

Since things got wacky after the white run earlier this week, this is what we have so far from yesterday and today:
White - 5 (3 Sport, 2 Aero) (1 Aero to OR)
Midnight Silver - 4 (3 Sport, 1 Aero) (*Aero to MO)
Blue - 3 (1 Sport, 2 Aero) (1 Aero to NV)
Red - 2 (1 Sport, 1 Aero) (*1 NY delivery, replacement VIN)
Silver - 1 (Aero)
Black - 1 (Aero)

Unless otherwise notated, the above are all CA deliveries. All over the place.

Finally a black aero! Invited 2/13, configured same day, VIN 67XX.

Still no discernible pattern these last couple days as far as I can tell.

If you see a VIN in the 9000's to 11000's, than they are going to be bunched in a certain color.

If you see a 67xx VIN, it's just an extra car they had available for one person, it's not an indication of a color run.

Oh, trust me. I'm well aware. But one more black car delivered is one fewer person ahead of me in line.

Not so sure I would say (well as of yet) that red cars are getting the shaft - but certainly playing the proverbial second fiddle to other colors. Thanks to the post by ELRev I at least have a glimmer of hope since he or she showed a couple of red's shipping. Plus if you look at the Fremont staging yard pictures posted in another thread; there were many red M3's - both with Aero and Sport Wheels. Unfortunately I suspect many of them are going outside of CA. Am still hopeful that late this month or early April I will be able to take delivery.

Non-owner; 3/31 line waiter in San Diego; Configured on 2/22 - Aero, EAP. But as of 3/16, 5:28pm - still VINless in San Diego!

At Charlotte There were a red, Black and a white Model 3s on the lot waiting for owners. So reds are even being shipped out east.

Our Inside Sales Advisor called tonight, less than 24 hours after the VIN was posted on our Tesla account. He shared that they are trying to deliver as many cars as possible before the end of the quarter.

We refer to our ISA as Santa Claus.

Reds probably all over. 3x as many VINs given to reds than black. Yes red is 18% of color choice, vs black 13%, but even silver has 2x the amount of VINs in March than Black even though it was chosen by half as many people.

That’s an awful prediction and would be extremely disappointing news for soon to be Red owners everywhere. So sad

Quite a few more this afternoon. Here's a recap @ 6:00 PM PDT (VINs assigned 3/15-3/16):

White - 8 | 4 Sport | 4 Aero
Blue - 7 | 1 Sport | 6 Aero
Midnight Silver - 5 | 3 Sport | 2 Aero
Red - 2 | 1 Sport | 1 Aero
Silver - 2 | 1 Sport | 1 Aero
Black - 1 | 0 Sport | 1 Aero

Looks like today saw a small run on blue aeros in the 90XX range. This is a smaller run than usual but the second batch in 10 days, as the last run of blue aeros was VINs 73XX on March 7. Still mostly CA deliveries, as expected.

We're still in uncharted territory at the moment, with a seemingly sporadic push to close out 18Q1 strong driving relatively inconsistent VIN distribution. Every color and wheel configuration has seen a run in the last 10 days of similar quantity to or larger than today's blue/aero batch EXCEPT for black, which continues to trickle in randomly.

Likely tough sledding trying to predict the next couple weeks before the end of March.

Godspeed to anyone waiting as obsessively as I am.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Got a VIN today for white / aero. Had trouble with my entry and had an admin delete so I could resubmit but it appears to have not worked...

So you can add one more white/aero to your list.

92xx

Thank you for your diligence in dissecting and reporting on the data! Hope your M3 arrives soon too.

Got my VIN over the evening. Configured on 2/28. White, sport, long range, premium package and auto pilot. Excited! What’s the general time frame people are seeing delivery post-vin assignment? If that’s already been answered I’ll go look for it. I’ll also update the spreadsheet.
