The VIN Gods has spoken.

Configured 3/16 White, Sport , EAP
4/9 VIN 137XX

Congrats! Finally some local (OC) VINs getting assigned after all the East Coast ones.

White/aero has really not gotten any love for the last week. Crickets on the invites sheet.

I have white/aero as well..

Probably unrelated but I got a call this morning (no VM) from Tesla Costa Mesa and called back, sales said it was probably for the energy products.. so I called back this time the delivery department and they pulled up my reservation and said nothing yet, but got the "delivery specialist" I'm apparently assigned over in Las Vegas, and sent him an email to ask for an update.. Let's see..
 
I received my VIN (145xx) on Saturday for my Blue Aero AEP bound for Portland OR.
I called and found out the email and address for my DS in LV.
I sent him an email Saturday, still no response.
I was able to find out from the local service/delivery center that my car status was “in production”. Also the car was able to be pinged and it showed up as being in the Fremont factory.
So kind a happy that it’s not a car that’s been sitting around in a lot for weeks. Gives me comfort that it will have benefits of changes made to the production line recently that will hopefully correct prior issues others have experienced (no sunken hood, softer suspension...)
So this probably makes some sense as to why my wait for a VIN was so long (four weeks) They actually had to build it.
I still believe that people get a VIN right away when they already have that configuration built and sitting around.
 
That seems true to some extent, but there aren't any configs with nobody waiting. So it also has to do with delivery center availability and/or space on truck availability as well.

Definitely. I live a few miles away from the Fremont factory and have been waiting for over 5 weeks for VIN. I’ll probably give them a ring by the end of this week if I don’t get it. :(
 
Speaking of Portland...I configured two Model 3s on 4/6 - one White/Aero for me, one Blue/Sport for my dad. My dad's Blue/Sport VIN was assigned today (1819X), and presumably will be delivered in the next two weeks. Life just isn't fair sometimes ;)
Perhaps your Dad will be nice enough to let you test drive it... Congrats. The highest number I've seen so far
 
Just refreshed for the 4,000th time today and my VIN showed up. I nearly dropped my phone.

3/31/16 line waiter
3/22/18 ordered
4/09/18 VIN
VIN 132XX (edit, in the excitement I forgot!)

Blue, Aeros, EAP, Atlanta

Same dates and config for me, but VIN 145XX. In Wisconsin, picking up in Chicago (hopefully sooner rather than later). It's hard to believe it's actually happening!

I configured my car on 4/6 (white/aero) and now you have me worried my car might be one of the ones built before the “issues” were corrected.

Do you think I’m safe? Approx what VIN did those changes start happening?
