What Can I Do with a Tesla VIN?
A Tesla VIN is, first and foremost, a unique code that sets your car apart from others. It contains unique information about your car, such as specifications, history, recalls, and if you were lucky, the recommended components for your Tesla. A single scan on a Tesla VIN, without exaggeration, can reveal all there is to know about a Tesla car.
As often the case, the seller will provide the VIN for buyers to dig up details on a car. After the VIN check, it is often followed by the buyer’s personal inspection of the vehicle to confirm the details they have gathered.
Usually, a Tesla VIN can be found on three spots:
- the inside frame or jamb of the driver-side front door
- the dashboard near the base of the windscreen (driver’s side)
- on a plate secured to an area on the chassis
If the VIN on the vehicle matches the VIN on the registration and insurance documents, that’s a strong indication that the VIN is legit.
How to Decode a Tesla VIN?
The Tesla VIN decoding diagram below tells us the importance of each section found in a single 17-digit VIN code.
Each character within a Tesla VIN corresponds to a particular vehicle data, including the model name, model year, make, factory location, country of origin and others. The ISO standard VIN has been used starting with the model year 1981. The VIN does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) which look like numerals 0, 1, and 9.
Using the sample Tesla VIN, 5YJSA1E17HF189658, we will illustrate the data each digit represents. We will use the diagram above and the Tesla decoding chart as our references.
