How to Decode a Tesla VIN
1. Find the VIN of your vehicle. For the majority of Tesla models, this can be located on the driver’s side dashboard, observable from outside the vehicle via the windshield. Additionally, the VIN might be present on the inside of the driver’s side door frame, or on the vehicle’s insurance and registration papers should they be available to you.
2. Enter your Tesla’s VIN above.
3. Get a detailed report on the Tesla you’re looking into.

How many numbers are in a Tesla VIN?
Every Tesla Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains a 17-character code unique to each Tesla vehicle. It provides a range of information about a given Tesla vehicle, including the year it was built, the country and factory a Tesla was built in, its motor and battery specs, exterior color, safety equipment, and more.
For Tesla vehicles, the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), which is the first three characters of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is specific to the company and the country of manufacture. For Tesla vehicles sold in North America, the WMI might include:
- “5YJ” - Tesla vehicles manufactured in the United States.
- “SFZ” - For the original Tesla Roadster models, Tesla used “SFZ,” which is a WMI for Lotus, the manufacturer that provided the chassis for the original Tesla Roadster.
The characters within the WMI for Tesla are as follows:
- The first character (“5”) indicates the country of manufacture (United States).
- The second character (“Y”) is the manufacturer identifier for Tesla.
- The third character (“J”) typically represents the type of vehicle or manufacturing division.
Tesla VINs also include information about the specific model, body type, restraint system, battery type, motor type, and the year of manufacture, among other details.
