Keep us updated, please! I’m curious to see how long it takes you to get a new VIN, and whether it’s before or after the PF789400ish cutoff. Could you share your build configuration?
Also the screen name is quite apt

It seems the general consensus on Reddit is that HW4 is not likely to include the radar on 3 or Y, at all. At least not until after the rumored Highland/Juniper refresh thought to be coming late 2024. The HW4 coming on new S and X builds does include the radar but “sources” say the 3 and Y will not get it anytime soon.Yay (?) - I just got my 'schedule your delivery' email.
Based on what i'm reading in this forum, looks like my vin has hw4. Does anyone have an educated guess around whether punting on this one might improve my chances of getting a vehicle with the Phoenix radar? Love that name btw - clearly someone has a sense of humor at Tesla

From what Tesla told me, this is not allowed. You can only pass on 2 VINs, then your order will be cancelled. One of us is right, and I'm not certain its me since I'm just relaying my interpretation of what Tesla told me. FWIW, my order is only hold after being assigned the first VIN because Colorado changed state tax incentives starting with July 1 deliveries.
There is a Reddit post where people are sharing their VINs. Austin made VINs after 6/04 (around ~PA131) are all turning out to be HW4
Here is the Reddit post where you can check VINs for HW4 and Matrix lights.
It’s the software that’s holding FSD back. I’m not sure how better hardware will improve anything. Like installing a buggy app in a faster PC, it’s the same buggy app running in faster hardware. I wouldn’t be surprise if when Tesla fixes all issues. They will realize it needs 10X more computing power and we all need HW 6.
There is no way from the in car display.
I think on MS/MX you could go into the secret service menu and see the radar but no such beast on MY's "HW4 Lite".
Not that it matters at this point, but in my situation I had only passed on a single VIN. If that didn't work I would have asked to use my hold which would have passed on the second VIN. So I think we're on the same page.
Fortunately it seems that the second issued VIN is good to go.

Mine got updated today, so the lines appeared but it still says "Park Assist unavailable". So a step forward for sure, but more to go.Not a Tesla app now shows release notes now for a software update that enables park assist on HW4 for those missing it

my order is currently on hold, and plan to use up the 14 days to ensure a July delivery date.
Did I understand it correctly that your order was on hold for only 2 days, and 7 days after it was put back in line you got assigned a new VIN?
