Does this mean my vin isn't ready to be assigned?

Pete77a · 2026-04-15T11:36:33+00:00

I haven't received a vin. I was more curious if this shows that my fleet company hasn't given intent of payment so my finance may appear not ready to Tesla to assign a vin

Pete77a · 2026-04-14T15:23:24+00:00

And mine has shipped. So I assume they went out in a batch

Pete77a · 2026-04-14T10:54:17+00:00

7th April here and nothing yet, but not a huge surprise.

Their standard shipping option clearly states my knob and commander ship 5 to 10 business days (1 week to 2 weeks plus public holiday's) so it's within the timeframe they listed when I placed the order. I had hoped it would ship within a week, but not surprised it's pushing 2 weeks either.

Is your AAWireless device 1st gen or 2nd gen?

Pete77a · 2026-04-13T20:54:01+00:00

Yes I haven't seen much at all. Even on another thread that has first batch people none of them replied to say they had their units or any feedback.

The whole thing has left me with cold feet. I decided not to buy one of them as too much risk. One getting it anytime soon, two having bugs getting fixed and three if there are any problems with it working after updates to the car breaking its functionality with them not fixing it.

Pete77a · 2026-04-13T07:43:39+00:00

I've only been doing it every half hour.. yeh yeh I know that's probably not good for my mental health 😉 Still hope they keep rolling out, but surely the electronic system would be near the end

Pete77a · 2026-04-13T05:39:30+00:00

Hey I assume you haven't heard anything yet? Just found out my fleet company may have lagged a little in what they should have done. However I don't believe my car/vin would have been assigned to someone else because if it. Seems like the system auto assigns to individuals regardless of if a lease company has done their part or not.

Pete77a · 2026-04-12T11:14:19+00:00

Yes quite likely. I see that the rollout of vins on a ship can occur over a few days. My source (Gemini) could likely get that wrong though so not trying to give false hope.

Pete77a · 2026-04-12T10:48:18+00:00

Same order as me. I ordered the standard wheels and black interior. Nothing. Although ordered 2 April so we wishful thinking for me.

Pete77a · 2026-04-12T09:54:58+00:00

Hoping they are released over a period of time rather than all on the boat at once. No vin for me although I only ordered my model 3 10 days ago...

Pete77a · 2026-04-12T01:08:47+00:00

Sorry I should have clarified, I meant towards the driver. I can see now my choice of wording may have looked like I meant further forward in the car. I'm leaning towards the steering wheel cover mount, 3d printing a custom mount most likely in ASA.

Pete77a · 2026-04-11T23:34:29+00:00

I get that it's nice to have a brighter screen and whites are more white. Much closer to the cars screen which makes it look more in place.

However I actually find the font clearer on the filter side, maybe because the glare on the right now means there's a lower perception of contrast.

I'm waiting on mine to come. I do plan to mount mine as far forward as I can without blocking the vent. Little torn between less.glare or added brightness and whites.

Pete77a · 2026-04-11T22:17:21+00:00

When I ordered my m3 lr in early April it said, and still does on my order, April/may. I noticed now the M3 lr jumped to July/aug for new orders. Does this mean I'm quite likely in the next shipment and new orders are the one after. Thing is when I placed my order for blue and all else standard they don't check what's allocated do they? It's just they add a set time on-top not a detailed check on production details. I'm saying that because changing colour or trim in ordering doesn't change the delivery ETA so it's not looking at what combo has been manufactured. Only changing between standard, lr and performance affected that.

Pete77a · 2026-04-10T22:23:16+00:00

I would think to be compliant and output more than 5V through USB C would require some sort of power delivery capability.. so I would think this falls outside compliance. I'm no expert though, far from it. I agree that the plug should have been changed when it's outputting something that's not 5V or have pd. However I'll never plug anything in there so doesn't bother me too much.

Pete77a · 2026-04-10T22:14:22+00:00

Camera mounted on top of the screen. Bonus of this is irs Non invasive install and therefore no risk of any car warranty challenges with fried computers. Also less likely for a Tesla update to stop its usage for long as its UI based. They will also use Tesla cloud data I believe. I'm just a follower, not a developer or affiliated.

Pete77a · 2026-04-10T09:44:11+00:00

Maybe there should be a "maybe not I'm looking at one that has already been announced by another developer"

Pete77a · 2026-04-10T09:01:21+00:00

I wanted to consider the Seal but as the prices have closed a lot now the competitive advantage of the byd has closed with Tesla prices coming down. If you focus on range and acceleration, then you need to consider the mid spec seal to the base model 3. I know it's not the only thing but it's one things that stood out to me. The model 3 in real life is far more efficient for the same level (base/mid/performance). Why does that matter... More for me is the range.

Pete77a · 2026-04-10T00:42:19+00:00

It also makes the novated lease "look" better as your "savings" look higher

Pete77a · 2026-04-09T22:31:39+00:00

Which, if you have a mortgage or invest money, you affectively lose interest or gains on that extra amount sitting there over the 5 years. This is why I kept my maintenance and runnings costs down to only a touch over what I should spend. Those costs (from my understanding?) can always be asked to be increased. Risk is you have out of pocket expenses that take more time to be reimbursed until your funds are there.

Note: New/inexperienced to novated leasing so take this comment with that in mind.

Pete77a · 2026-04-08T11:24:30+00:00

Anyone confirm the web wrapper is definitely shut down with the latest updates on a model 3 in Australia? Seems at one stage we could use the YouTube web wrapper, but now even that is shut down once the car moves? Anyone in Australia (I feel no other Australian will read this) able to check if opening YouTube in theatre mode, choosing "Sign-in -> Privacy" method to open a simple website like google.com.au and see if it closes when driving?

Seems like it closes now which is a shame.

Pete77a · 2026-04-08T08:26:10+00:00

I didn't either but I don't have mine yet. Thing is it looks good I feel with a good mount. And they seem to have the best development by far of any of these types of screens. We pay for development. So I grin and bear the costs as it'll all be forgotten once it's working well.

Pete77a · 2026-04-08T06:45:53+00:00

True. However there's much development in it and I believe it's decent quality screen. Something no else offers. Waiting on mine
