VIN numbering (F552) - can you infer prior rejection?

[Zalick]

I was just assigned VIN F552 yesterday for a MYP. Delivery is 9/23.

I see others with VIN in the F561 range.

Is there any way to tell how old F552 is compared to F561?

Is it likely mine was rejected? Or more likely a cancel/lack of funding rejection?

I just changed my order to MYP on Monday and delivery is Friday, so clearly this was someone else’s order initially.

You really can't tell. My understanding is that Tesla builds similar cars in batches so they may do a bunch of blue ones even though the VIN's aren't sequential. So you could end up with an 'older' VIN. You can ask the SA for the exact build date. That's the best way to determine what the status might be. The sticker on the car only gives month/year.

Thanks. Hopefully it’s a September build date!

I haven’t read much about recycled rejects but I assume they keep getting offered until someone bites.

The SA called today to confirm delivery. Said it’s born on date is Sept 13th. Very interesting how the VINs get assigned. Can’t wait to pick it up Friday!

Picking up on Friday, VIN F557. Informed that it was built on September 20, but that it’s not coming with the cargo cover. Super bummed about that.

Mine is F556
It’s a Fremont build. How do you guys know when was the birth date of the car? Also how do I know if it will have ryzen chip

I asked the SA when they called and he told be the born on date. They can tell you about the chip too.

I was assigned F553 on 9/15. Until. That day I had not seen anything in the 55x range. A few people Commented it was a fresh vin. Reality is Tesla is pumping these cars out faster and faster Each week. I doubt it's a reject, but you probably did steal a car from someone else.

Mine is a Sept build with matrix. Not sure if I like them more than my M3 headlights.

As @Zalick said, you have to ask the delivery people or sales advisor. You can ask them "what is the born on date for this vin I am assigned" and they should be able to tell you.

I am not sure exactly when in the build process the vin gets assigned, but that date is considered the cars birth date so you can see how "old" it theoretically is with that information.

(@Zalick , congratulations!)
