The early customer deliveries (not demo units) had February 2021 build dates. My First Edition has 008XXX VIN with a February 2021 build. At that time, the Zwickau factory was building approximately 800 vehicles per day with deliveries to Europe and the US. The factory should have ramped to approximately 1,400 vehicles per day by now.

My takeaway was that even though I'm not planning to flagrantly break a law that, frankly, was a bit serious, I realized how easy it was to track somebody down with the most minimal effort. Nothing more than that.
Back on topic, @agzand I've been super curious about the date & VIN range of the 1sts and am surprised to see how compacted their production was. Maybe you can edit the title of this topic to say "US 1st Edition VINs lower than 7000 or higher than 20000?" and update it whenever we have a new high or low. There were some long-haulers in the Lantern Rouge thead and now I'm wondering if their VINs were outliers, or part of the mix.
Whose First will be last? "Lanterne Rouge"...
In the Tour de France, the "lanterne rouge" is the rider in last place, named after the red signal lamp on the last car of a train. The start of Pro/Pro S deliveries seems like a good time to start tracking whose First Edition will have the distinction of reaching its owner last! I know...

Thanks for the info, looks like pretty much all US 1st Editions were built in February 2021 with VIN ranging from about 7000 to 24000. VW sold about 6000 iD4s in the US in the first half of 2021 (presumably mostly 1st Edition). So maybe a 1/3 or quarter of that VIN range ended up being US 1st Editions.My takeaway was that even though I'm not planning to flagrantly break a law that, frankly, was a bit serious, I realized how easy it was to track somebody down with the most minimal effort.

Let's keep this open to all trims, maybe we can collect more useful data.
