Crowdsourcing to figure out what months our VINs were created

[Ratbert]

To develop a better understanding of what's being built each month we need to know what VINs were created each month. @dahacker did a statistical analysis and came up with these approximates for the early months. We're building on his concept so we can generate build reports by week and month that somewhat accurately reflect reality.

Month	Starting Sequence Number	Ending Sequence Number
October 2021	100778 (10/08)	112400 (10/30)
November 2021	112401 (derived from 10/30)	125125 (11/30)
December 2021	125126 (derived from 11/30)	154584 (12/27 - need 12/31-ish)
January 2022	158085 (1/03 - need 1/01-ish)	188796 (1/31)
February 2022	188828 (2/01)	212112 (2/28)
March 2022	213805 (3/01)	236374 (derived from 4/01)
April 2022	236375 (4/01)	264395 (04/29 need 04/30)
May 2022	266154 (05/02 need 05/01)	278283 (05/31)
June 2022	278295 (06/01)	281162 (last '22 sequence detected)
June 2022	500085	510667 (6/29)
July 2022	515855 (07/05 - need 7/01)	529349 (derived from 8/03)
August 2022	529350 (8/03)	?????

I've received sequence numbers (the last 6 digits of your VIN) from a few people and have plugged those in where appropriate.

If the date that you received your VIN is on or near the start day or end day of a month and it's more accurate than what's in this table then please post here with your VIN's sequence number and that date.

If you're wondering why we'd want this data then see this topic.

I think we don't want the date the VIN received, but the "Date Ordered" as specified on the Priced Order Confirmation (POC) that you should have already received from your Dealer.

That way it will eliminate the situations where your salesperson said they ordered, but didn't until a few or many days later.

And if you don't already have your POC with the VIN printed on it, then that is probably a problem you need to resolve with your dealer ASAP.

Thanks, I've updated the instructions based on your advice.

To develop a better understanding of what's being built each month we need to know what VINs were created each month. @dahacker did a statistical analysis and came up with these approximates for the early months, but it would be extremely helpful to have something relatively concrete, especially for more recent months of MY 2022 builds.

Month	Starting Sequence Number	Ending Sequence Number
October 2021	100001	113000
November 2021	113001	125500
December 2021	125501	158000
January 2022	158001	?
February 2022	?	211601
March 2022	211602	999999

@Ratbert
I don't know how germane this information is to your project, but the MonthDayHour data on the door jamb sticker might add a desired additional data point here.

Any thoughts on how to query that?

Thanks. Hopefully someone closer to 1/1/2022 and 1/31/2022 will chime in.

Thanks for your replies, but we only need sequence numbers for POCs with a "Date Ordered" that's on the first or last of the month. The days around New Years, of course, might be a bit sketchy.

Thanks. I think we already have something closer.
