Wiki Decoding Tesla Model S VINs

Ah, fair enough.

More clarification on Canadian VINs: I have VIN 02001. My (Canadian) sequence number is #2. But CAN sequence #1 is a non-Roadster owner, so his issued VIN is higher. So it is possible that I have the lowest CAN VIN, or that might be 02000. Others who are not Signature Special have now reported VINs above 02100. We have been told that all Canadian Signatures are being produced as a group and will all ship around the same time (2-3 weeks, we believe). So we should see the last CAN Sig VIN soon.

my guess is that once it was apparent that CAN homologation was dragging, they committed to producing a batch of U.S. P car first, and to keep VINs closer to delivery order, they skipped up to 02000 or 02001 for Canada. They seem to have done essentially the same thing with the Roadster. The first Canadian Roadster is 901, mine is 905.

FYI: I just had it confirmed by someone at the factory that the first Canadian VIN is 02000.

I read the first page, and the last few pages of the thread, and my understanding is that the VIN numbers went something like

S01199
S01200
P01201
P01202

and so on.

Am I correct? Or did the first P have a VIN like P00001?

Thanks

I was P-83 and got VIN 1571.

US signatures got S00001 to about S01150
Production cars started with P01200, but the first 60 or so cars were marketing cars, so customer production cars start at about P01260 or so.
They go up to P01999, then there is a break for the canadian sigs
Canadian sigs are S02000 to about S02150
US production resume at about P02200 or so and continue on up (above P03000 currently).

Immediately above this post is napabill, P83.

Immediately above this post is napabill, P83.

Gregincal's hypothesis would suggest napabill's P83 would receive Vin P01343, but he received Vin P01571 instead. With sequencing being as, ah, flexible as it has proven thus far, I think napabill's experience fits in line with Gregincal's hypothesis

digit 12 on the first post needs an update for 2013.

Elaborate?

Elaborate?

I think he just meant that doug, who wrote the first post, needs to add "D = 2013" as well to the key for that year digit.

But the model year is digit 10, not 12.

 

[palmer_md]

yep...sorry about that. Saw digit 10 was 2012 and then remembered 12 when I posted the response...oops.

 

[brianman]

No worries; just confused me at first is all.

Wrong car?

Got my VIN on Friday. Got a delivery window of 1/31-2/14.

P85kwh non-perf with everything except twin chargers, shield and HPWC.

Saw the link to this thread from the Tesla forums yesterday. Why is my 8th digit a "G". Isn't it supposed to be an "N" for the 85kwh battery?

VIN: 5YJSA1CG6DFP03744

Now I'm concerned that they screwed up my config.

Uh oh, yeah, the G is definitely for the 60 kWh pack. You may have just been given the wrong VIN?!

Do the P85+ cars have anything in the VIN to distinguish the + from regular P85?

On the loaner I drove yesterday, no.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the VIN to distinguish euro-spec cars

I'm guessing the Euro sigs will start in a block above the Canadian sigs.
