Received a very low vin

[Jehorton]

I recently switched my reservation from the R1S back to the R1T for personal reasons and received a vin at the beginning of the year. I was super excited and finished my 8 steps other than payment. It hit me to look at the vin and I notice it’s extremely low. 001***. Is this bad? I can only guess it’s been a declined Vin but that’s very low to have continually declined. Any other possibilities?

Did they reset vin serials for 2023? 10th character is N for 2022, P for 2023.

They probably restarted the ticker for 2023 production. Im sure theres a distinction in the earlier part of the VIN for year.

Yes it’s a 23 year. Possibly? I didn’t know they do that. Hopefully that’s the case

They definitely reset the number for 2023. My 2023 VIN (vehicle is in transit still) is under 10 for an R1S LE. I know they haven’t shipped as many R1S’s, but the highest 2022 VINs I’ve seen are in the thousands.

Agree with others. Almost certainly reset for the new year.

If your VIN has a “PN“ it’s a 2023 model. 2022’s had a “NN”.

It has a PN so yes year 2023. Thanks everyone

Now that you’re not concerned about the low VIN anymore… Congrats on getting your VIN

HAHA, I was still pretty excited. But yes, now I'm through the roof again with excitement.

Yes, VINs were reset for 2023. I was talking to guys at the service center and they are screwed (for the short term). Up till now, everything at the service centers is based on th last 6 digits of the VIN. With 2023 models now shipping, there are duplicates showing up in their systems.

just another fun part of a new car company. LOL

Geez, Rivian IT dropped the ball on that! And let's hope they realize that they need more than the model year letter, or the same problem will occur when they ship R2s!

I have a PN 2023 VIN R1T 17xxx. I wonder if they reset after the calendar year of production, not the model year of vehicle.
