Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Centrals]

Someone mentioned that the VINs (or changes in the App leading towards a VIN) happened around 12.30pm ish.
I guess we wait and see if that repeats today.

Yes. That was me! If there is nothing today, I will see you guys on the 5th July when the factory re-opens.

Vin allocation could continue through the shutdown if it's true they are pushing them out in batches to avoid overload

 

[garylovesbeer]

Just happened to check as we had a new ‘pay now’ button in account. We were wondering why we would pay without a VIN, and then checked the source code. No official message from Tesla.

Not official until you change your signature!

Found my VIN with the chrome extension today. Jan 17 order.

Yes. Forgot to mention that. M3 RWD

Was it there yesterday? Or had you not checked? Congrats

Overload? Surely it's just a couple of lines of code changing slighly in the back end for each account? Can't be that intense on a system.

And what's this about accepting a reduction in range? How much by?

 

[maxb]

So what's the go? A few assigned and then a stop?

I do not know about VIN's but for deliveries during the roll out of the last batch, back in March, it was similar. It seems that it will be over a few weeks. (Maybe if VIN's are issued then people will expect cars which everyone cannot receive at the same time.)

Could be to prevent overload on all fronts... imagine how slammed their SA's would be if every order got their vin assigned on the same day haha

 

[Hoopyfrood]

Looking at the spreadsheet, i reckon people discovering them today or yesterday probably just didn't check on the first day.

it might trigger lot of back end processes like creating an invoice and payment references and creating shipping orders etc..etc..

 

[j4rryd]

@garylovesbeer I imagine you'd be one of the very next to receive a vin for RWD, any news??

Lol! Good point!

Yeah ok makes sense. I guess a spot on the magical ship needs to be allocated, trucks need to be booked, customs paperwork done etc for each vin coming through. Maybe that's the batch split even. Though it does seem chronological at this point.

I'm right behind garylovesbeer, no changes yet..

That's probably correct.

Did not check yesterday. I am on a Novated Lease. I had a pay update on my account after accepting Tesla Vision change. Contacted my lease guys who checked with Tesla and they said a VIN may have been allocated with Aug/Sep delivery. That was yesterday.

Checked today to see and it was there.

And thanks for the wishes. Did you get yours?

Ok so yours was probably updated in the source code on Tuesday

Nothing for me yet - fingers crossed next couple weeks

Nah. Just checked both with the chrome extension and the https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/oxp-bff-api/user-orders thingy. Nuthin'. Back to waiting.
