I wouldn’t expect a VIN for a hot minute…Looks like only CA and TX are getting the CT so far. I am curious though. For thos that ordered January 2nd, has anyone in those states gotten a VIN yet?
Yeah I think you’re most likely correct. I have a 12/15 order with no VIN yet. Am in Utah like you @Mattsplat and have noticed that many of the 12/15 orders are in non CA, TX and FL like NV, UT, NC, VA, WA etc.I really think that once this first batch of 12/8-12/9 are mostly filled, you'll see them start delivering more out of order than the order date. There is a regionalization play here.
Regionalization and/or initial Tesla employee bias maybe? (would explain TX / CA)I really think that once this first batch of 12/8-12/9 are mostly filled, you'll see them start delivering more out of order than the order date. There is a regionalization play here.
Same hereI wouldn’t expect a VIN for a hot minute…
I ordered on 12/15 and still have not received a VIN.
Yeah. I am just trying to figure out if the VINs are being assigned by date and taking waiting to ship or if they are just not assigning any VINs that aren't CA/TX. Someone at Tesla needs to learn the virtue of under-promise, over-deliver. They always do the opposite and make promises they don't keep. Kinda frustrating. Maybe it should have said something like "Delivers Jan-March (CA and Texas only, other states TBD)Yeah I think you’re most likely correct. I have a 12/15 order with no VIN yet.

Makes sense to me. Get those coastal high population areas rolling with the CT first.
In the meantime I’ll be here in the mountains playing in the snow, patiently waiting…. Hahaha.
FWIW from all the stuff I've read here I feel like they're largely being assigned by date. You probably remember that the first invites on 12/8 seemed to be CA/TX only (like > 95%) so if they do go in order you'll still see that geographical bias...Yeah.

And my MYLR trade-in quote expires in 3 days and Tesla will probably drop the trade in even more from the B.S. offer they gave me.I'm fine waiting, since each CT built gives them more experience to improve.
However, the clock is ticking on my loan pre-approval...

It would be encouraging to see a handful of random deliveries in non-CA/TX states. Or at least a new state added to the list and not just those two.FWIW from all the stuff I've read here I feel like they're largely being assigned by date.
