Bookmarklet to get VIN

[Dan203]

Rather than constantly checking the source code you can use this bookmarklet to see if you have a VIN or not....

javascript:var%20teslaVin=Tesla.ProductF.Data.Insurance.vin;if(teslaVin)%7Balert(teslaVin)%7Delse%7Balert('No%20VIN%20yet')%7D;

Bonus is that it works on mobile devices, like iOS, that don’t support view-source.

Hi Dan
What do I do with this string?

Create a bookmark in your browser, paste this string as the URL for that book mark.

Very cool of you to do this.

Mods should sticky this, TBH.

Edit: I just "reported" the OP. Said it was extremely helpful for *anyone* that had ordered a new Tesla, and should really be stickied. Hope I don't get yelled at for not using the "report" function correctly.

Anyone (not just Model 3 orders) that orders a new Tesla would find this extremely valuable since Tesla doesn't show the VIN number to the buyer in a timely manner.

I'm not sure people realize exactly how cool this is, really.

If not made a sticky itself, it should at least be included in one of the "useful links" stickies.

Thanks Dan, it works!!! I had another bookmarklet that shows all the source code and had to type “VIN” on the search field… but now it’ easier!

Also saying thanks! I was just waiting for it to show up and replace the reservation number, which I guess isn't the fastest way haha

You are brilliant thank you!

The bookmarklet worked for me when I ordered but the VIN wasn't in the source code until it was also visible on the web page.
