What is a Tesla Build Sheet?
A Tesla Build Sheet is the factory production record that documents how a Tesla was originally configured before leaving the factory.
Many Teslas look identical while having different batteries, hardware revisions, software capabilities, and factory-installed equipment. A Build Sheet removes the guesswork by documenting the original production configuration.
Why Tesla Build Sheets Matter
From the original Roadster to today’s Cybertruck, every Tesla has its own factory production record. A Build Sheet documents the hardware and equipment installed when the vehicle was built. Whether you’re researching a Tesla before purchase or documenting the one you already own, the Build Sheet provides reliable factory information directly linked to the VIN.

Tesla Build Sheet Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find a free Tesla Build Sheet by VIN?
Free Tesla VIN lookup tools provide only basic information, such as the model year, body style, and drivetrain. A complete Tesla Build Sheet includes factory production specifications like the original battery configuration, motor setup, Autopilot hardware, factory-installed equipment, MSRP, build location, and other details that free VIN decoders typically don’t provide.
Can Tesla Service Centers provide my factory Build Sheet?
Tesla Service Centers primarily focus on maintenance and repairs rather than providing consumer Build Sheets. Depending on the vehicle and available records, service personnel may access certain production information.
Our Tesla Build Sheet lookup offers another convenient way to verify original factory specifications using the VIN, and can be used anytime and anywhere.
How can I tell which Autopilot hardware (HW1, HW2.5, HW3, or HW4) my Tesla has?
Autopilot hardware generation depends on the vehicle’s production date and factory configuration. Our Tesla Build Sheet helps verify the original hardware version installed during manufacturing, making it easier to understand the vehicle’s capabilities before buying, selling, or servicing it.
Can I tell if my Tesla originally included Full Self-Driving (FSD)?
Yes. Factory production records can help identify whether the vehicle originally included Full Self-Driving capability or another factory driver-assistance configuration. Because software licenses and features may change over time, it’s helpful to compare the Build Sheet with the vehicle’s current software status.
What do Tesla battery codes like BT35, BT37, BT42, BT43, and BTF0 mean?
Tesla battery codes identify specific battery configurations used during production. Their exact meaning depends on the model, production period, and engineering revisions. A Tesla Build Sheet provides additional context by displaying the battery configuration alongside the vehicle’s original factory specifications.
How do I know where my Tesla was built?
A Tesla Build Sheet can help identify the vehicle’s original production facility, where available, including factories such as Fremont, Austin (Gigafactory Texas), Berlin (Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg), or Shanghai (Gigafactory Shanghai). The VIN also contains manufacturing information that helps identify the assembly location.
Can I verify whether my Tesla is Rear-Wheel Drive, Dual Motor, or Performance?
Yes. A Tesla Build Sheet helps verify the original drivetrain configuration assigned during production, including Rear-Wheel Drive, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive, Performance, Plaid, or other factory configurations where applicable.
How do I find out if my Tesla has Premium Audio?
A Tesla Build Sheet can help verify whether the vehicle originally included Premium Audio or other factory-installed infotainment equipment. This is useful when purchasing a used Tesla or comparing different model configurations.
Can I verify Premium Connectivity from a Tesla Build Sheet?
A Tesla Build Sheet helps identify the vehicle’s original connectivity configuration and factory-installed infotainment features. Current subscription status depends on the owner’s Tesla account and software services, so it may differ from the original factory configuration.
What is SpecKR, and how is it related to Tesla production information?
SpecKR is a community-developed reference used by some Tesla enthusiasts to interpret production information and factory configurations. While it can provide helpful insights, a Tesla Build Sheet presents factory production information in a more organized format linked directly to the VIN.
What is the difference between a Tesla Build Sheet and a Tesla Window Sticker?
A Tesla Build Sheet documents the vehicle’s original factory production specifications, including battery configuration, hardware, production details, and factory equipment. A Tesla Window Sticker focuses on consumer information available when the vehicle was delivered new, such as MSRP, standard equipment, optional equipment, EPA range estimates, and warranty information.
