Wasn't aware that Apple only had the 4 digit SN's.
(BTW - is this considered a NDA infraction for those at Apple?)

Model S never consistently did more than 2,000 a week (biggest US month was Dec 2016 when they did under 6,000 and X was under 4,000). I'd consider anything over 8,000 a month of Model 3 ramped up.
Here is global delivery graphed, with 25,000 being a good quarter (about 8,333 per month at best) Tesla: vehicle deliveries by quarter 2017 | Statistic
If they can do >8,000 a month of Model 3 and still do 8,000 a month of S and X I'd be very happy with that. That would mean they doubled total car production in less than a year (on the way to a 200,000 car year).
If it got to 14,000 a month of Model 3 it'd be leaving S/X combined in the dust. That'd be record breaking not ramped up. We'd be on the way to tripling the prior years production (well over 250,000 cars a year at a 14,000 per month rate of Model 3 plus 8,000 a month rate of S/X).
And before someone talks about 5,000 a week run rate goals, remember that is 5,000 before downtime (holidays, maintenance, upgrades, what ifs). Even if they get the line doing 5,000 a week, it won't do that 52 weeks straight.

The parking lot at the delivery center is by definition, for cars that are waiting for delivery... Anyone know where Tesla is parking the cash after they deliver the cars? I'll go there 1st thing in the morning and take pics

One way to think about it is 2 Model 3s will be about the same as one average model S/X. Not exactly, but roughly. If S/X are regularly 2000 a week production with 2 weeks downtime for 100,000/Y. Tesla can roughly double revenues at 4000/w so 2000/w is a 50% increase in revenues and 1000/w would be 25% increase. These are rough estimates, but make it easy to figure out the impact.

I spotted VIN 2556 yesterday at the Fremont Delivery Center. I was told by a Tesla person that I was free to walk around the parking lot and look at the cars but no pictures "because these are customer cars".
What if, and I know this is crazy, they ship out cars, and other cars come and replace them in the lot.
And then those get shipped out, and so on...

Current highest known registered VIN with NHTSA is still #3840: Model 3 VINs (@Model3VINs) | Twitter
At this rate I would imagine they need to register a new block of VINs with NHTSA within a week or two. It will be interesting to see how large of a block of VINs they end up registering.

Someone checked if they already started registering 2018 versions? Either start from 0 again, or more likely continue from 3841.
And the next Video from FDC. New highest VIN: 2556 !

Looking at this numbers it seems like they don't correspond with what has been recorded before. In other words cars may have been delivered and new production cars parked. No hard fact but an indication...

No more VINs under the lower 500s, that's good; nice to see that block seemingly closed off. Still some in the "lower 500s to 1100" block, although not many; it'll be nice to see that closed off as well!

Is there going to be a big M3 delivery party for 120 non-employee customers? Why else stock them up?
Why do I get the feeling of being a stalker looking at 120 M3s?

I guess it's OK as long as we don't catch you looking through the windows!

I saw VIN #2000 at the Fremont delivery center today. Also #64 at the Kato Rd. SC. There were a total of at least 124 Model 3s parked outside of the delivery center. Fifteen of them had VINs of 2000 or above. The highest was the aforementioned #2556. There were eight Model 3s parked outside the Kato Rd. SC.
