Tesla Build Sheet by VIN — Decode the Monroney label & original configuration
A Tesla doesn't use a traditional build sheet or fender tag — its original configuration is recorded against the VIN, and the Monroney (window-sticker) label lists the paint, wheels, interior, drivetrain, and Autopilot or Full Self-Driving as ordered. Together they are how you confirm exactly how a Tesla left the factory. Start with the VIN to lock in the year and plant — it’s free.
