Yep, it is very possible a later buyer will get an earlier VIN then a 1st86er because of color, etc. In particular if you switched color or transmission its very likely there will be gaps. The first ones on the boat and released at the docks to dealers go to the 1st86 but they will have already built more than that. Jack mentioned round 300.

The red one in the group photo had VIN 0003. would also guess dealer demos may be in the first build lot but no official word ok that.

One thing Jack mentioned, it takes 9 days by boat to Long Beach and 26 or 29 days to the east coast. The east coast ones will be on the ship first to try to flatten out the difference but there is no plan to have a single delivery date. They will not arrive at dealers at the same time.
