VIN Decoder

Decode any Tesla VIN

Enter a 17-character VIN and instantly see model, year, factory, drive unit, battery inference, and NHTSA recall data.

Paste the full VIN. We automatically remove spaces and dashes.

What the VIN reveals

More than just a serial number

Every Tesla VIN encodes the model, year, factory, motor configuration, and restraint system. We cross-reference that with our codebook to infer battery size, supplier, and expected rated range.

Factory decode

Model, year, plant, body type, motor/drive unit, fuel type, and restraint system — all derived from the 17-character structure.

Battery inference

We estimate battery size, likely supplier, autopilot hardware generation, and expected rated range based on model-year codebook data.

NHTSA recall check

Automatically cross-references NHTSA recall campaigns for the decoded model-year, flagging OTA-eligible and park-outside notices.
