The 1000 VIN's are being allocated

[mab74]

Not sure why you guys are getting yours in september. I have just been to the tesla website to make a custom order and it clearly says estimated August delivery if i order now.

Did it say which year?

 

[Tony Hoyle]

Late August, probably around the 90th of August.

That explains why no VIN on my 1st May order yet. Maybe its 2020 June delivery.

Octopus just called to say it's a generic email from SG Fleet that's gone to everyone who's ordered, it's a guess by SG Fleet, not info from Tesla, so it can be ignored... we can remain as much in the dark as we were before getting it

From SG Fleet

"Dear xxxx,

Please ignore our previous email regarding the delivery date of your Tesla.

The email was sent in error as we're unable to acquire accurate delivery dates from Tesla.

If Tesla have provided you with a delivery date then please go by that.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

You could not make it up!

Do you think they could ask for my vin back?!!!

 

[Yev000]

My VIN is gone too... Pretty much resigned myself to getting mine after the holiday anyway.

 

[Tony Hoyle]

I think they're re-doing the whole allocation, presumably got it wrong the first time.

Maybe. when I checked mine last time the color was blue and i ordered black, but not sure if that vin checker is color accurate.

 

[benken]

My VIN (Which appeared yesterday) is still there, still the same...

Apparently vins were being assigned incorrectly and the reason they have been removed (according to someone that phoned up and spoke to tesla), at the end of the day the source code isn't an official way and these seem to change and disappear regardless. However this does kinda make sense as it looks like early reservation holders have been getting vins now instead.

 

[MrBadger]

Maybe the ship sank?

Or they were the cars that fell off the back...

Surely Tesla would be better off NOT putting all that stuff "hidden" in the source code ...

 

[Tony Hoyle]

It appears to be a dump of all the data they have on you plus all possible text that could appear on that page. Odd way of doing it, but I can see how it would simplify the backend to just send everything.

Yes probably but I wouldn't be surprised that they have some back end systems that are relying on this, at the end of the day none of this is official and wasn't made for people to check the source code, so people shouldn't be upset if something disappears from the source code lol, the website coding hasn't changed in a long time, doesn't mean it shouldn't but there are more important things tesla are working on.

Except that this is data buried in a customer-facing-page. Security risk waiting to happen that something else, that shouldn't be there, creeps in IMHO

I suppose if there is any form-data on the page that could be submitted that extra data would accompany it (provided the user, competent to View Source, hasn't also "modified the hidden data" before it is submitted back)

SessionID and some authenticating data etc. should be sufficient - that, at the back end, can JOIN to pick up all the relevant data appropriate for the task at hand

What site are/were you using to check the VIN?

 

[dst87]

What site are/were you using to check the VIN?

I was using VinDecoderz which shows me a blue Model 3 despite ordering red, but I think the image might be generic Model 3?

 

[leewillis77]

The VIN doesn't record colour.

 

[tess19]

I wouldnt trust the vindecoder site. Just put my kona vin code in it and it came out Hyundai Galloper.
