Looks like Tesla is preparing for a big Q2 just before opening the Model 3 ordering floodgates for the RHD markets, yesterday the automaker gave a 5x boost to the referral program and today it is revealed that the company has registered 39,680 new Mode 3 VINs.

This is almost ~40k new VINs for the Tesla Model 3 reported by Model3VINs.com / @Mode3VINs which tracks the NHTSA website for Model 3 VIN registrations.

Until now this year’s biggest batch of Model 3 VIN registration was 21,308 seen in January, just before starting deliveries for Europe and China.

Of these 39,680 Tesla Model 3 VINs almost ~47% are estimated to be International, local demand is a bit down since the last quarter, Tesla must have a plan to adjust the rest of the 53% cars they intend to manufacture, some of these cars might get made in the next quarter, just possible.

The important thing to note is that VIN registration numbers are not indicative of the actual production numbers, but this is still significant as Right-Hand-Drive markets are going to get the Model 3 ordering open for them anytime this week, Tesla might be expecting good demand from these countries, it remains to be seen.
