Giga Texas Model Y Performance VIN Assigned Update

[sawyermerritt]

Hey everyone. Wanted to provide an update on the two supposed TX Tesla VINs that popped up recently on some forums. After checking with multiple sources & speaking to various people, VIN 7SAYGDEFONA395383 (on left) is fake. However, VIN 7SAYGDEF9NA000137 (on right) is real.

Wanted to wait a couple days to make sure after I was wrong in my reporting on VIN 7SAYGDEFONA395383. VIN 7SAYGDEF9NA000137 not only pops up in Teslas database, it passes the NHTSA VIN decoder & is a low number VIN too, unlike the fake one. VIN 7SAYGDEFONA395383 does NOT pop up in Teslas database. Looking forward to first Austin deliveries!

@sawyermerritt thank you for the update. I was hesitant to trust the second one also, because we have seen no additional reports.

Thank you sawyer for confirming the 2nd vin, there is still a lot of skepticism from the know it alls here on TMC.

great news thanks for the update!

Who confirmed that 7SAYGDEF9NA000137 pops up in the Tesla database? It wasn't in the system a day or so ago.

 

[AlbertVanK]

Does it mean those VIN are equipped with the 4680 battery?

probably updated later

NO

 

[HELL YEAH!]

NO

I don't think Tesla is going to tell consumers which cars have which battery types and I think they will align performance as close as possible. At least initially. They aren't going to move away from 2170's any time soon. They may offer an option on their website of more range, for a price. Meaning that car would have the 4680 cells. Just my two cents.

Yup, I expect the same.

Very interesting. Especially since all video of the Giga Austin has the black and blue Y's out front. Based off wheels as well from what we have seen out of Giga Austin, none of the wheels are black.

none of insides are white, either. it’s probably another fake.

from a wise poster on another thread:


7SAYGDEF6NA000242 Texas MYP
7SAYGDEE7NA000242 Texas LR MY
5YJYGDEE0NA000242 Texas LR MY

"All 3 pass the NHTSA VIN Check even though the last 6 digits are the same for each. All it does is calculate and verify the check digit, it doesn't verify anything else. That would be up to Tesla to verify."

Once again, based off the drone videos, it is hard to believe that very efficient work would be happening in the factory with all the construction still going on. I'd be checking with a fine tooth comb any vehicle coming out of the Austin factory prior to all construction being done (not saying there are, just saying if there was).

Here, I’ll do the heavy lifting.

that's pretty much definitive... clearly the “First Confirmed Austin VIN!” was faked and Bearded Tesla Guy and Sawyer need to reconsider their verification methods if they’re going to post on that topic.

 

[Firocity]

I dug into the FB posters previous posts and they were not consistent with the idea of him unknowingly posting that he had a VIN from Austin. Previous posts from weeks earlier he mentioned taking delivery and also commenting about 4680 technology out of Giga Texas. Unfortunately he removed those posts from the model y FB group. He was trolling.

Why fake it? Did he get ad revenue? A middle school chuckle?

that’s a great question... and why did the others fake it? Or have all three or four been the same guy? You’d think life is just too short for that, but no.
