Hi all,
I've ordered my M3 LR AWD for a couple of weeks now and I found myself refreshing the order page and looking in the source code for the VIN ever since. Given that I am a developer as my full time job, I thought about ways to automate it and make it easier to check for the VIN. I saw that there is a VIN bookmark thingy, but the downside of that is that it's still 1 extra click to get the info, whereas this solution adds the information on the page directly.
Therefore I created a Chrome Extension that can be installed on your browser which adds more information about the order on the page of your order (check the attached image or the extension link). Right now everything is in english only and it has this functionality:
Link to the extension: Tesla - Extended Order Status
I only tested it with my order, so if you see something misbehaving, you can reply here or contact me via DM. Also, this solution should work on orders of all Teslas (S, 3, X, Y), so I'm not sure this is the best part of the forum to add the post.
Please let me know what you think

- Shows the VIN, if one, from the source code. Technically, it looks at the Tesla.ProductF.Data.Vin property
- Shows the previously assigned VINs, if any. This is due to some people complaining that they once saw the VIN, and all of a sudden it disappeared. Technically, it creates a localStorage entry (on your machine only) and stores the VINs there.
