When I get a VIN where does it show?

So I haven’t been able to get the uncover the VIN trick to work partly because I am not that computer savvy and partly because I exclusively use Mac. Regardless when my VIN is released will it replace the reservation number, or will it show somewhere else.

you can download "Tesla VIN Finder" on Chrome and while on your "My Tesla" page (on Mac) click Manage. to the right of your car image, hold control to right click. Select 'view page source' and this reveals source code. You can then click the VIN finder icon and it will pop up results for you. If you don't want to use the VIN finder download, you can just just click: Command F and in the finder box input: 5YJ
this will highlight a VIN if it is available.

Your RN will be replaced with the actual VIN on your online account.

The chrome extension actually didn't work in my case. It says no VIN found even though it's in the source code. It may need an update to account for source code changes?

YMMV
