VIN out of order?

[1T2022]

New to this forum. My impression is that R1T VIN is already at 14000 plus. Why does new vehicle have VIN 13000? Thank you.

Delivery is not the same as production?

Maybe, but more than 1500 difference?

Not uncommon.

Feel free to decline to convert your order if you really care about the VIN that much? Seems silly, to me.

At current production rates (which both of those would fall into) that might be 3-4 weeks. It's totally feasible that a truck could sit in the parking lot at the factory for a week or two before getting loaded on a train/truck, spend another week in transit, spend another 2-3 weeks at an overworked service center before final vehicle prep.

While on the same delivery date another unit could delivered to someone in IL a few days after rolling off the line...

IL VIN: 14xxx
Other VIN: 13xxx

A slightly contrived example but still - but it really does work that way

My VIN is 13xxx and I am still 4 to 6 weeks from delivery

That is very possible, based on their 3rd quarter build number they were doing about 566 a week on average. 4th qtr should be much higher so that could be 2 weeks of builds. Hard to say what order they come off the lot or how long they are in transit based on where they are delivered. Hard to say what ones will get rework after QC inspections.

Jut too many variables to derive any real correlation between build vin and delivered vin.

I just got assigned 130XX. The 8-steps just began.

Don't fret over not having the most current vin. I've seen people with vin's way higher than mine that have much worse build quality.

Thank you.

The vin thing is a bit misleading. They do not strictly produce vehicles with consecutive vins. Loosely yes, but it’s really more a guide

A lot of time build quality is subjective.

In 2016 I picked up my Tesla Model S, I had no issues with the build quality and I am the one who wrote the check for the car. My brother-in-law saw like 10 things that he said would drive him crazy, my guess is it was just a short trip.

My point is, same car, 2 different sets of eyes with drastic different takes on the build.

6 years later, have had great luck with the car and still consider it one of my favorite vehicles. Now if I could just get my R1S….

Thank you.

Your going to love it. Get ready to engage prema grin.

They are presumably serialized in order, but not produced that way. This is pretty typical due to how serial numbers are assigned.

my Guide said she is in transit. I might get delivery pretty soon
