I have a 39XXX and I couldn’t be more happy with the car, took delivery last tuesday. If you think about May is not that far back... considering how many cars were being pumped out at the time. Just take a chill pill and relax unless something comes up... like what were you gonna do anyway like cancel your order?

Have you ever cared about the VIN on any other car?

VIN assignments are random so you can't determine production rate from them. You check the sticker for production date.

@kram: I saw your headline. Then I saw the body of your post. I guess it shows how far we've come that 43xxx is now looked upon as early!

Two weeks ago we got 44xxx and I was happy it was so high! (Built in July, by the way).

And, yes, @lilbean, you're spot on. I've never cared a bit about a VIN before!

4333X?

That’s nowhere close to an early VIN, that is a July build almost assuredly unless you added a digit.

The June stockpile topped out around 38000 I think.

Pay no attention to the P3D VINs that got jump shifted to the 73XXX range.

Mine is 37XXX and it was manufactured in June per sticker on the door. Its an absolute beauty, with no issues on delivery.

@CharleyBC what was your build date? My VIN is 44836 and picking up on 8/18 in Maryland

241xx, manufactured in June, according to the window sticker. VINs are batched and batch assignments are not always sequential.

lol i was actually on hold with Tesla and right after I posted this they answered.

My build date is 7/23. So I was asked to verify my information the same day it was built and my ISA emailed me the next day on 7/24 with my VIN. Pretty quick turnaround.

Now I have to wait for it to come across the country only to be driven back next year when I move to Vegas lol

@mikehen08, sorry I can't offer much more precision than what I said above: July. We got the car 14 July. We were offered it 13 July, but that didn't work for us. This was Rocklin, CA, so not too much time needed for shipping. So I'd wildly guess it was built somewhere 1-11 July. Your VIN is a few hundred higher.

I have vin #12xxx and it's simply stunning. You'll be fine, enjoy the Model 3!!

@Revelate - I picked up June 30th, VIN 466xx.

BTW, I was the highest VIN reported until just before pick-up.

I have VIN #1651, now that's an early VIN. NO ISSUES, 7 months, 13K miles.

In GAG'S day, you were lucky to even have a VIN.

Our 434xx delivered 7/11 has 6/2018 on the window sticker.

OMG, back at VIN 500 people were freaking that that it wasn’t ‘fair’ that someone else got theirs sooner. Everyone wanted VIN #1

My 19xxx was built in June...chill out

241XX and stoked!

Just got assigned 337xx , no idea on build date yet... but won’t be concerned unless I arrive and it looks like sh*t

I just picked up VIN 269xx on Tuesday. It’s a June 2018 build*, so don’t assume a lower VIN is an old car.

*included the new rear seat with the larger bolsters, too.

Ordered my Model 3 in late June. How long should I expect to wait for a VIN and is the 3-5 months promised realistic? Sure don't want it to be 2019!

I find it hilarious that people put in early reservations to get get a car as soon as possible...and are then "concerned" that they have an early build.

@hokiegir1, yeah that is ironic, huh?

I thought my vin ~1200 was early. Handmade, with love ;)

Lowtek: if AWD non-P probably, though may be sooner.

RWD you still might get filled out of stock, and the Performance editions are ramping up and will apparently ship before the base AWD.

VIN 460XX, July 2018 Build, Delivered 7/25, and Flawless - you'll be fine :)

Thanks for the chuckle. Folks under 1 year in production. It’s an amazing car. @lilbean, right on. Never even cared about VIN on previous cars. My 3 Mar 2018 build. Beautiful car and Drive performance. Back to forgetting about VIN.

I got 195xx. Back in May. Perfect. Car. Not. a. single. manuf. defect.

@hokiegirl, I assume it's the thought process that being first = closest to perfection, which in manufacturing/production is ABSOLUTELY a misnomer. :)

Mine is 31xxx and door stickers says build date is 6/18

To be fair to the OP and others, and I've worked in manufacturing lines before, I purchased AWD for my own reasons, and don't mind the delay as I should really go sort out short-term cash flow before picking up a new expense... but when I realized I was nowhere close to the front of the line either in general or in the AWD queue specifically, I did have a passing thought of "at least most of the manufacturing issues will be fixed at that point."

So it's not exactly a foreign concept; however, I just sat back and read the forum instead of posting about it haha.

I was just assigned a VIN
49XXX
A July build I presume.

Geez, ours is VIN 138x and is rock solid, with 5,500 of its 11,000 miles on road trips.

Any vin greater than 20,000 is no longer early. Accept it.

My VIN is in 52XXX and I am about to take delivery in 2 days. Glad to see the positive response for lower VINs here.

P? as in ludicrous speed option? I ordered 4WD (late May) the upgraded interior (only one available) I sure hope politics don't get others in line ahead of me especially if that pushes me in to next year.

4333X is clearly a rejected car that is only now being foisted off on a unsuspecting public. In any case, don't worry and be happy.

^^ lie

VIN 398XX - July 2018 build.
