Well folks, Tesla likely built 5,000 of something last week. And with around 10,000 AWD VINs now in play, when would you guess we'll see the first VINs assigned to Performance orders?

Somebody already shared a VIN from one of the test drive Performance cars.

One step closer to getting your "P-3" :sunglasses: And then using the trickle-down theory.....the AWD's :grinning:
Not that I'm anxious or anything :wink:

They are currently working on the website for the model 3 ordering page. I’m hoping that that is the precursor to them VIN assigning all P3D and maybe AWD throughout this week.

I still have an "Edit Design" link.

I think he means if you go to the page to configure a new order...

you get this screen

I still have mine as well (P3D ordered 6/27). Apparently clicking the 'Edit Design' button leads to the same very-temporary-looking page as if you try to open the configurator from the main Model 3 page. It seems likely that there's some level of maintenance going on behind the scenes, there's just no way of knowing if it's actually meaningful.

Aha! Yes, I see that now.

No worries. This happens whenever Tesla is updating the configurator. It'll be back in a few minutes.

I can't believe Business Insider thought this was worthy of an article.
Oh wait, what am I saying. They'll use any excuse to write a negative article about Tesla.

And hopefully our VINs will come with it haha

I was gonna say, really? After all those BS articles about Tesla charging an additional $2500, you can't believe it?

I'll give Linette credit for realizing she needed a new pen name -- "Mark Matousek" sounds like the kind of guy who takes automotive journalism very seriously, immune to distraction from the Vegas party scene and novelty cufflinks...

P.S. The title of this thread gave me a little too much hope...

With respect to the original question, I would be very surprised if this week were to pass without a VIN being assigned to a customer's Performance order, given that the test-drive P3Ds are already en route to their destinations. Thursday or Friday would be my guess for ISA contact (and behind-the-scenes VIN assignment date), with deliveries starting a week later.

Edit button? On the "Your delivery profile is complete." page, i have no edit, except for "edit account details."
Might be that Tesla knows my wife convinced me that an old codger has no business owning Performance.
My pending RWD Inside Sales Rep (for my wife, July 24) assured me he would bump my Performance back to AWD, but a week later...nothing.
And once that puppy follows me home, I can't possibly send it back. ;-)

Couldn't agree more. With deliveries stated to begin in July, we're getting to the point where a VIN has to be assigned to someone, somewhere.

There are at least 2 people on Reddit this morning whose edit design button has disappeared.

It's imminent.....

I guess configuring first doesn't mean I'll be taking delivery first.

I just changed my order to P (non-upgrade package) on Monday....so I won't be in the very FIRST wave.....but still soon
