Though the manufacturer has several factories around the world, all Tesla cars are assembled at one of four plants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fremont, <a href=\"\/car-insurance\/california\/\">California<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Austin, <a href=\"\/car-insurance\/texas\/\">Texas<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shanghai, China<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brandenburg, Germany<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-your-window-sticker\">Check your window sticker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have your Tesla\u2019s window sticker (you might also hear it called a Monroney Label), check it to see where your vehicle was assembled. You can find this information at the bottom of the label in the \u201cparts content\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Keep in mind:<\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">You may also see a number indicating the percentage of parts your Tesla contains from different countries. In other words, just because your car was put together in one place doesn\u2019t mean all the parts were manufactured there.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jerry-block-content\" contentclassname=\"text-gray-900 text-base\"><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vehicle-identification-number\">Check your vehicle identification number (VIN)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique code assigned to every vehicle, providing specific details about its production. You can find your Tesla\u2019s VIN in any one of six places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the bottom corner of the windshield on the driver\u2019s side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the label on the driver door jamb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the touchscreen by touching <strong>Controls &gt; Software<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On your car\u2019s Monroney Label<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On your vehicle registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On your insurance card<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Tesla was built at the Gigafactory in Shanghai, you can also find your VIN beneath the front passenger seat. Those with Giga Berlin-based Teslas can also find their VIN hiding beneath the trim on the rear passenger-side door sill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to decode your Tesla\u2019s VIN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve located your VIN, take a look at the first three digits. These are your Tesla\u2019s World Manufacturing Identifier (WMI), which gives you a vehicle\u2019s country of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what your Tesla\u2019s WMI means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>5YJ:<\/strong> Fremont (through model year 2021)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>7SA:<\/strong> Fremont\/Austin (from model year 2022 onwards)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LRW:<\/strong> Shanghai<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>XP7:<\/strong> Berlin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you really want to drill down to find out what factory your Tesla was assembled in, locate the 11th digit in the VIN. This digit tells you the car\u2019s plant of manufacture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A:<\/strong> Tesla Austin, Texas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B:<\/strong> Tesla Berlin, Germany<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C:<\/strong> Tesla China (Shanghai)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>F:<\/strong> Tesla Fremont, California)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-teslas-built-each-factory\">Which Teslas are built at each factory?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might guess, each Tesla factory is tooled for specific builds\u2014so just knowing which models are manufactured at which locations can help you narrow down your Tesla\u2019s birthplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fremont, CA Factory:<\/strong> The original Tesla factory produces the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gigafactory Shanghai:<\/strong> Tesla\u2019s first international factory produces the Model 3 and Model Y.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gigafactory, Texas:<\/strong> Tesla\u2019s global headquarters in Austin manufactures the Model Y and the new Cybertruck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gigafactory, Berlin\u2013Brandenburg:<\/strong> Tesla\u2019s first European factory produces the Model Y and will soon begin building batteries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-meet-experts\" data-wp-interactive=\"jerry\/meet-experts\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;modalVisible&quot;:false}\">\n  <div class=\"font-circular text-2xl font-extrabold text-slate-900\">Expert-driven.
