But, it's a milestone. According to my dealer, a VIN is only assigned to a car the week before it goes into production.

Anyone have a "decoder" tool for that?
No silly at all .. it means your car is no longer some metal en plastic parts but is ready to be assembled to your specific requirements en needs.

I only received my VIN after the car was in status 155 so after it was completely assembled. The site mentioned above (mdecoder.com)
works very well and at least I have confirmation that all the options I ordered are inside.

I also tried adding it to the app on my phone and got a picture but it needs the confirmation code displayed on the car display to fully link the car. I imagine somebody sitting in the car @ the plant and thinking: "Another impatient fool "
