Finally! For reference my 15400 form was generated VIA Tesla's online tool on 1/23.

I think it's just the SSN/VIN. The guidelines that required the dealer to submit the SSN/VIN wasn't finalized until April of 2023. Since CMPT took delivery in 2022 Tesla has no reason to report their SSN/VIN to the IRS. Many of us who took delivery in early 2023 while guidelines were still in...

True...but I feel like they could have done a much better job once those guidelines were released back in April. They are a technology focused company and have several ways to communicate with us whether it be through phone, email, car notifications, or in app notifications. They never reached...

I got off the phone with Tesla (4th time calling them) and they basically told me if I have the 15400 form in my documents then all the paperwork is done on their end. They insist that the problem lies with the IRS and that I need to call them to ensure there are no typos regarding the VIN on...

Rejected again btw.

Mine showed up almost immediately after I submitted the online request. I filed again earlier last week and I'm still getting the same rejection notice where the IRS is rejecting my VIN. Just submitted again a few minutes ago, if it won't allow me to file online by March then I guess I'm going...

Rejected again. Same reason. Donnie, To finish your tax return, please correct the error(s) described below or follow the instructions provided. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) The IRS is rejecting your return because the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on one of your vehicles used...

I hope so. I'm going to resubmit again tomorrow. Hopefully it goes through.

I believe the IRS has a system that automatically checks to see if there's a matching VIN/SSN in their database. If it finds none then it auto-rejects. I typically eFile every year when I get my W2. The reason I was given for the rejection: 2023...

My form was generated on 1/23 but the IRS doesn't have mine yet 😞. I filed on the 26th and it was rejected by the IRS.

Oh interesting! Is that the second time they've extended it? I thought it was only extended until the end of this month initially.

Yep, I efiled through FreeTaxUSA. Doesn't appear there's any way to include any attachments when you submit to the IRS through them. Worst case scenario if Tesla is unable to give me any answers then I could mail my return in. I do have the 15400 signed and dated for 1/23. Hoping it doesn't go...

Hey all! I didn't know about the 15400 at first (I took delivery January 2023). Submitted my tax return with the 8936 on Jan 21st and received a rejection from the IRS because my "VIN didn't match their records" on the 23rd. I found out about needing the 15400 and how to generate it through...

I contacted Tesla and the person on the phone said that they'd have to email another department because from their knowledge all the VINs should already be submitted. They said they understand that the deadline to report all VINs is at the end of this month so they will get me a response in 24...

Welp, just got the email. Tax return was rejected again. Not sure what to do at the moment. The deadline for Tesla to report my vehicle is in a few days. I have the IRA document dated 1/23 but at this point I don't even know when I'd be able to submit my tax return since it keeps getting rejected.

It depends on when you took delivery of your vehicle. For people earlier in 2023 (like me) Tesla wasn't asking for your SSN so they could auto-generate these forms. I think that started later in the year...March/April maybe? Tesla set up something in their support page where you could generate...

Hey! I e-filed through FreeTaxUSA. Both times I got an email (I filed before I knew about the required 15400 and then again after I generated the 15400): I filed again Friday so let's see if Tesla got my VIN over to them now!

Got a question for anyone who did this. Once you got the form generated how long did you wait before filling? I generated the form on the 22nd and then filled my taxes later that day. The next day on the 23rd I got a rejection letter from the IRS because my "VIN did not match". The VIN in the...

I have a 2023 Model Y and the only time I've ever had phantom braking was going in a tunnel, happens everytime. I always just disable it now before I enter.

Yes, there's a lot of discussion about the update in the no USS stickied thread. Not sure how you missed it though since after the update there's a prompt telling you about Parking Assist that you have to acknowledge. You should have also gotten a Tesla message in your app saying the latest...

Just got the update to enable Tesla Vision Parking Assit. Haven't tried it out yet. I do have "Advanced" set as far as my firmware updates. Just base autopilot here.

Oh wow, that's interesting! Searching that motor online brings up the Tesla website saying that the 3D7 motor is for MY manufactured in China! Model Y Owner's Manual | Tesla Looking at Reddit I found this: Model 3 Motor Discussion If I'm reading that right it's basically the hairpin motor...

Interesting comment I found in that video I posted above. Of course it's a random YouTube comment so no idea about the validity but would point to some reasoning why some Austin LR Model Ys were fitted with the 4D1 and why the placard shows the motor was manufactured in Texas:

Nothing specific about the new motors but a good overview of what a hairpin motor is.

Nope, don't think Tesla has ever mentioned a planned software update. It's completely legal and has been available on several other cars for years in Europe but even there Tesla hasn't done anything special with Matrix headlights.

Yeah, there's a few of us with Austin LR builds that have the new 4D1 motor in it. You can verify by looking at the motor itself to see what type you have: Also all the LR reported to have this motor have an "F" in the eighth digit of the VIN instead of the typical "E" for LR models. The 4D1 is...

There's been a few posts about this in the past from what I've seen. People there have posted they brought it up to Tesla and were told that it was normal and due to their design.

It's super odd that it seems like there was only a small window when the 4D1 motor on the LR was used. Late November to around mid December while everything built after that used the 3D1. Granted the sample size is really small but that seems to be the trend so far.

I'm another December built Austin MYLR with the 4D1 motor.

Finally crawled under and verified 4D1. 12/2022 built Austin Model Y, 7SAYGDEFXPA049XXX.

Some Austin built MYLR have been coming with the new 4D1 hairpin motor designated for Performance models. All examples I've seen were built in December and always have an F in the 8th digit of the VIN. F is what Performance models are always designated instead of the typical E for LR models. I...

Yep, that's basically what my credit union did. I ordered on the 13th and was assigned a VIN the same day (MYLR in inventory) and the latest I could schedule to pick up was the 18th. My credit union approved my loan a few hours after submitting and put the money directly into my account where I...

I think it's the angle that makes it look a bit closer than it actually is 😂. I did want to give slightly more space to the space next to me since it's by the curb.

We really don't see too many Tesla's where I live. I think I've seen a blue Model Y on the road and a white one recently. Also saw a gray Model 3 at the gym a few times. Imagine my surprise when I pulled into work this morning and saw a red Model Y in the parking lot. I made sure to park beside...

Yep, the gaps are normal according to Tesla. There's been a few threads about it before with people bringing it up to Tesla and their response was that it was normal and due to the design. From what I've heard it's only on low beams though, turn on your high beams and there are no gaps.

Congrats! Can you tell me what the 8th digit of your VIN is?

Yeah...really odd. I posted in a few other threads but I've only found one other person who reported a friend picking up their Austin LR a few weeks ago after ordering right after the price drops (LR was in inventory) who had an F in the 8th digit of their VIN. That's very similar to my story...

You can add coverage and tell your insurance company to not start it until a certain date. They will give you documentation stating that you have coverage but it will not start until said date, I uploaded that to Tesla. If you're trading in your current vehicle your insurance company will...

Is anyone's 8th digit of the VIN F (indicates performance motor)? There's another thread here where it was found out that some 2023 Model Y LR models are coming with the 4D1 rear motor (new hairpin motor for performance models). There's only been a few people who responded in that thread and it...

Yep! Same here. I ordered on 1/13 and was assigned a VIN from inventory (Austin Model Y LR built in December). It's a LR but has an "F" in the 8th digit. The working theory is that Austin either received or are receiving the new motors and since Austin doesn't produce Performance models they're...

Yep! Keep in mind you obviously won't get the added performance of a performance model since that's locked behind the software/battery spec. I have read though that for the Model 3 there was a situation where non-performance models came with performance motors and the additional 150 HP was able...

The 11th digit is your plant of manufacturer (F is Fremont, A is Austin). The 8th digit is your motor/drive unit; E is what's typically associated with Long Range while F is Performance. Some Austin VINs seem to have an F in the 8th digit even though it's a LR model. They looked at the rear...

For people getting Austin VINs (or even Fremont) for the Model Y LR, is anyone's 8th digit of the VIN F (indicates performance motor)? There's another thread here where it was found out that some 2023 Model Y LR models are coming with the 4D1 rear motor (new hairpin motor for performance...

Not sure which specific motor mine is (might try to find it tomorrow). I have a 12/2022 built Austin Model Y too with an F in the 8th digit of the VIN, PA049 as well. 7SAYGDEFXPA049XXX.

Yep, I'd be perfectly happy with either but prefer standard. The material is shinier compared to the more matte look of the Matrix and it has a more uniform look (no projector). They really shine under the sunlight and it's the first thing I notice everytime I walk to my car. I think they just...

Count me as one of the few who is actually glad they didn't get Matrix. I live in the city and when I do on the occasion do an extended drive it's mostly all highway. Even if Tesla did update the software there wouldn't be much advantage for me since I don't really do any twisties. I just think...

Haha, it's just headlights. Would be great if they eventually release an update that makes them turn with the car but I'm not holding my breath. But yeah, right now there's no big advantage to them. I think they're brighter though? Like you mentioned there are noticeable black spots/gaps in the...

Could very well be. I don't think I've seen anyone who has received an Austin build confirm they have Matrix headlights. I'd be interested to see pictures of Wubba's because that'd be the first confirmed one to me.
