  • VIN, 7th character: F = LFP (Shanghai-built cars, and all Model 3s from 2024). E = nickel-based — but on Fremont-built cars before 2024, E just means “electric”, so use the touchscreen check.
  • VIN, 11th character: plant — C = Shanghai, F = Fremont. VINs starting LRW are Shanghai-built, 5YJ Fremont-built.
