Funny you mention that… I've been… less than thrilled with the fact that I sold all my bitcoins back in 2013. Then I found a .125 of a BTC in my old wallet file and went "Well hell, I can't be mad at that. legitimate tiny windfall"

So as I was on my way home this eve I got a call from Las Vegas #. It was a Tesla rep telling me that yes I have a vin# and vehicle has been produced. She is in charge of paperwork. System does not show a delivery specialist yet but she will reach out. Oh, and I have been assigned San Francisco for delivery.
run-the-joules, don't be a hater.
Is your VIN still 16xx, and could this mean VIN 16xx was produced in November?
There are now 4 VINs from non-employees registered, including the one from @g-force that Tesla will re-issue. They are in the ranges 16xx, 16xx, 19xx and 20xx. I suspect all 4 are in varying stages of production, possibly still needing to pass quality control. However, there is no guarantee that this means at least 2000 cars were produced so far. Just one indication, most non-employees who ordered have NOT received a VIN so far (or are unwilling to share the fact they did).
People being cautious with their information on-line. Same as not posting your phone number. The last two digits don't add much information to the discussion, but they give a nefarious person/ spam bot the full VIN.

No clue. All I really know is I logged in yesterday and a vin was there. After a couple calls I am unsure if car is done, close to done or just started.

I see that you've been a member since 2008. How does your experience now compare to Model S or Model X or Roadster rollout?

And I did all those steps the first day after configuring, but then when I spoke with my DS yesterday, it was like she hadn't even looked at my information yet. Here I was all proud to be finished with paperwork and she kept saying, "As soon as we get this all done, we can get you a VIN." I had done it all the first day and still no VIN. So that's obviously not important rn.
But I seem to be one of very few to order Silver so if they are matching colors already produced to orders, that could be why.

You have a DS for your 3? I've configured but I don't see anything indicating I have a Delivery Specialist yet. Just a message: "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date."
I feel left out. I just keep hammering my account page every few hours.

I sent an email. Several. We are trading in a car on the 3 and I needed to give them more info.
I'd be surprised and very disappointed if this guy managed to get ahead of me, even as an owner, as a day 1, west coast, non-owner reserver. Despite buying a current tesla, someone coming in 1.5 years after opening and jumping the line would be sad. Especially considering his estimate is late 2018, and mine is currently still early 2018.
Exactly. The lack of transparency makes me assume the worst, but I suppose we'll find out eventually.

Something definitely has to be going on though. I am a non-owner and my estimates for first production are Jan-March 2018. Definitely not late 2018. I know a lot more of non-owners here that also have much sooner than late 2018 for estimates.
