Judging by the comments there is either a glitch or the VINs are purposely hidden on Tesla's website. My guess is they are still assigning VINs but have to wait on an ISA contact.
Just a guess and I could be completely wrong.
No idea if this is what’s happening, but I think it would make a lot of sense for Tesla to assign VINs later in the process (or at least make it visible later in the process), very close to when the cars are delivered. That would decrease VIN reassignments from triggering calls, the delivery center would have time to inspect the vehicles, fewer of us would call ISAs when we’ve had our VIN for a week but haven’t heard from our ISAs. Again, just speculation, but I could see why they would want to change their process.
I just spoke to my ISA today. I had a VIN and he confirmed all my paperwork was in order. We setup the delivery date...HOORAY!...but he did tell me that they have indeed changed the policy. You will no longer see your VIN until you are 7 days from the scheduled delivery date. My VIN is gone from my Tesla account page, but he said that the VIN is the same as I saw previously and that matches all the paperwork so far.Someone in the Canadian forum stated that their DS told them Tesla is changing their policy to only post the VIN in your account when they are within 7 days of you delivery date. (I'm not sure if this has been corroborated by anybody else yet)
If this is the case, what do we need to obsess over? Is it more likely to get an email or phone call from Tesla to schedule delivery? I wonder if they will waiting to make these calls on a date closer to when the car will be delivered as well?
I will continue to patiently (or not) wait.
I forgot to mention that my delivery date is June 4th.I just spoke to my ISA today. I had a VIN and he confirmed all my paperwork was in order.

For those of you that had a VIN and now just see the reservation number, don't freak out. It is just the new policy. You will be getting your vehicles soon.

Well, that sucks. Good thing no one has any other issues that have to be handled other than Insurance and Financing. No worry about logistics for their current transportation - I am assuming everyone is just adding the Tesla as an additional car. Also, if paying in cash, it would be nice to have extra time to liquidate funds - I don't typically keep $65k in my checking account. [This all with the caveat that in Cali, it is not unusual for 7 days from VIN to delivery.]
The issue isn't the VIN in and of itself, its more that seeing the VIN show up was the trigger that let you know the process had continued and you can expect ISA contact soon.
What are we supposed to obsess over now??!!
Should we expect ISA contact 3 weeks out, or are they also waiting until delivery is 7 days away?
I've been waiting 5 weeks since configuring so far. I wish I knew if it would be another week (not likely) or 6?
I know that people are anxious to see their VINs but in a typical car buying experience, I don't see my VIN until I get my car on the lot. My current insurance covers me even over a weekend and I get them details on the next working day and I am covered. Loan lock may be a good reason to get the VIN for timing but you don't need the VIN to apply. The lock expires regardless of when you get the VIN if the duration runs out. I recognize that the anxiety folks feel is very real but I think we just need to stop obsessing over VIN assignments and wait it out. Remember that we will (hopefully) be enjoying our cars for many years to come and this waiting will all be worth it. After all I said above, I hate to say it but ... I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY MODEL 3!
All good points - but it will all work out in the end. Can you tell that I have a TGIF attitude today?
You're right, and I know it will work out, but I just want my car! I don't mind the wait. My lease expires this weekend and I have backup plans in the meantime, it would just be nice to know how many of the backup plans need to be implemented.
With the reservations, we were given a window (even if it kept slipping). It would be nice if we got some communication after configuring - I don't know if my wait before heading from ISA is 3 more hours, 3 more days or 3 more weeks.
