    When I got my 2012 PIP, it was the 110th one built.
    How do you tell which # built my Prime is?

    The last six digits on the VIN is the production number.

    At Noon the day the PIP was first released, I pressed the Enter key on the Dealer's PC and the response was that we were the #110 unit.

    My Prime VIN is xxxH3004574. So you're suggesting mine was the 4574th made. Very Surprised since the delivery paper when they dropped it off at the first Dealer who traded it with my Dealer is dated 1/21/17.

    It does have a VSL: 411 That would be more like it.

    Is Diane still chatting with us? She might know.

    As I've been searching for a Prime to buy on Car Gurus I've been writing down VINs of the ones I'm interested in along with car info and dealer contact info.

    I've noticed the first 8 digits always are: JTDKARFP
    the last 6 digits seem to be the sequential order of build
    I don't recall seeing any VIN's lower than 001000 (maybe 3 digit versions have all been sold?)
    005013 was the highest I noticed about 10 days ago
    The 10th, and11th digits always seem to be H3
    That leaves the 9th digit.
    I am searching for PLUS Primes.
    I notice the 9th digit can be X, 6, 9, 5, 4, 1

    Does anyone know what the 9th digit means?

    So my Vin# ...4574 means my Prime was the 3574 production model made?

    Very surprised they already made that many and delivered it by Jan.21, 2017.
    When did they start production? Who got Vin# ...1001 ???

    They sold 781 in November, 2016 and 1641 in December, 2016 for a total of 2,422 in those two months. Your 3574 seems entirely reasonable for January 21st, 2017.

    1001 may be in a museum in Toyota headquarters.
    Or one of their president's cars. That way he experiences the problems first :eek:
