Tesla decoding accuracy depends on year-specific context. Use this guide to avoid false assumptions about trim naming, battery specs, and hardware generation.
Checklist before trusting a listing
- Validate model year and generation refresh timing.
- Confirm drivetrain and range claims match known model-year boundaries.
- Cross-check software/hardware package indicators (Autopilot generation, infotainment era).
- Verify option package claims with decoded spec output.
