Cybertruck VIN Tracking Thread (Updated 11/19/23)

[cvalue13]

EDIT TO ADD TRACKING OF RC PRODUCTION NUMBERS TO DATE:

8/21 - transport video with unit #R00647 (e.g., minimum of 47 RC's built to date)

8/23 - GFTX photo with unit #R00674 (e.g., minimum of 74 RC's built to date)

9/5 - transport video with builds #R00698 and #R00724 (now at least 98 + <24 RCs built to date)

11/6 - see this post for total CT vins to date (226 RC + MC total)

11/19 - see this post for showroom series (1200s) and first delivery units (000001 series)

Bit of research on past VINs plus photos from @MarkusNZL and today’s video from Joe

Tesla’s VINS generally:

Where Digits 12 - 17:

IN PRE-RETAIL PRODUCTION:

DIGIT 12 PRE-retail Production series: before retail production, this digit 12 will be an A = alpha, B = beta, R = release candidate, S=Signature, F=Founders

(EDIT 11/19: seems historical S/F approach not followed with CT, as first delivery event units are numbered 000001+)

WHEREAS DIGITS 13-17: production sequence, and for above pre-production categories will generally start with a batch number in the hundredths

e.g., each Alpha could be “AXX3XX,” whereas each beta “BXX4XX” and so on

IN RETAIL PRODUCTION

After retail Production starts, digit 12 has a 0-9 digit here as the first of 6 digits in the production sequence to allow for 999,999 cars

SO, as seen in NZ, all Beta CTs are 5XX

And confirmed from Joe’s video of today, all RC CTs are 6XX

As release candidates can have step-wise iterations toward level of production readiness (eg RC1 vs RC2, etc.), it’s possible that within RCs we later see a jump from eg RC1s being 6XX to eg RC2s being 8XX, TBD

Unsure if they jump hundredth place categories between RC1 and RC2, but only to point out that if at some point in the coming weeks or months we see an ‘8XX’ it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve built over >200 RCs (though that is also possible - wouldn’t be the plan, but could the result of a long road to retail production)

Conversely, if we see a ‘0XX’ - that’ll very likely be a retail production unit

This is quite accurate, sir

 

[COLAB]

Thanks' a lot to share ! Wait and see !

 

[Diehard]

Wouldn't it be cool if the limiting factor for annual production of CT in Giga Texas were digits 12-17?

 

[FarAway]

What will happen to all the test beds and release candidate vehicles?

 

[Coolhandz]

What will happen to all the test beds and release candidate vehicles?

I would bet one of them goes on Starship as a test payload.

I DM’d Joe yesterday, but got his VM

The NZ 'SIX'.........
'Boatmode' direct to Australia (!)
We're just across the 'DITCH'

This is tremendous insight and great work! Thank you for decoding it for us. It was nice to see a 6XX on a trailer in AR tonight, as seen here:

 

[CyberGus]

Was it a crash test? Or did they have a crash, and go "wanna call it a test? ok"

 

[cvalue13]

It was nice to see a 6XX

Nice!

Here I suppose I’ll track the highest we’ve se n

For RCs, we know they’ve built at least thirty something to date

ForBetas, the NZ photos show there were at least 35 Betas built total

producing these RCs at a better clip

I liked that VIN graphic but it is no longer available. Can you repost?

Oh, strange - yes surely

8/21 Transport video shows unit # R00647 - so a minimum of 47 completed RCs to date
