[EVNow]

Are all you getting VINs updating the spreadsheet ? I see some reports of VIN assignment here but no updates in the spreadsheet.

Can you pls update the spreadsheet ?

Site is back up. Nothing different that I can see, including no VIN for me.

 

[dandurston]

The site is up for me, but when I log in to my account it is still down. I get a "502 bad gateway error".

No they are not moving, not in the paint shop...

This video shows how the Model S is painted, and I would expect something similar (but maybe faster) for the Model 3. The cars might not be moving as they are painted, but they are definitely on a conveyor system as they go through the paint shop. Start at 2:36 in the video.

 

[Oldman]

Yes of course the cars are moved in and out by conveyor belt, but they do not move while being painted.

To come back to the actual question: I believe that 3.5 minutes are sufficient. The longer drying time is taken care of by the longer line section with the heat lamps.

Wow! The site is now the bottleneck. C'mon Eon Musk!

Hang in there!!

Like someone else said here on the forum...once you get the car, u will be anxiously waiting for software updates. I believe at some point you can them without waiting, like the WiFi update.

This is what I'm worried about. I'm sticking with the Aeros though. I wanted the 18s, and I'm betting on them coming through for the Washington orders. At least, under the 6 week time frame.

What color are you going to choose. Silver works great without the aero covers. The rims are grey and with the aero kit the car looks sharp.
Hang in there with your invite.

Pictures? I believe they continue to move while being painted.

Just to follow up on my low VIN number. I just got assigned a delivery coordinator and gave him a call, he laughed a little at the suggestion that II was getting a car someone else rejected and said my car was coming directly from the factory. Could it be that those of us farther away from the mothership will just get lower VINs due to transportation delays? Maybe they put them on trains to the middle of the country in some staging fashion, then distribute from there?

Anyway, another odd thing, they're making me put my wife on the loan because she will also be registered to drive the car? Didn't have that problem in NC when we bought my Subaru. Weird... But who cares, getting my model 3 soon!!!

When the internet is a bottleneck Chanos will be sleeping in a tent with Mortimer and Randolph.

 

[geometro]

I have VIN 131XX (Blue, Aero) for pickup tomorrow in Fremont (assigned last week).
Anything I should be worried about?

Edit: seems low given the VIN posted above is 20XXX

 

[nd4spd569]

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.
