Tesla option and configuration codes

What are option codes and what do they mean?

Tesla option or configuration codes have evolved over the years. Originally they gave a great deal of insight into the car specification including battery, motors, charge port, options etc. For the last few years they have heavily reduced the number of codes and often group them up into a model code, such as MT301 (MT3 representing the Model 3 and 01 being the model variant). These model codes generally disinguish one generation or region from another, and a change or difference to, say, the battery or motor will cause a new code to be used. Out buyers guides list many of these codes although there are so many, its almost impossibly to keet track of them all.

Alongside the model code there are some configuration options, these typically specify exterior color, interior color, wheels, autopilot level, class of supercharging, and premium connectivity. In total, on a current car you are likely to get a string such as APBS,IPB8,PN01,SC04,MDLY,WY20A,MTY48,STY5S,CPF0.

How do I find my Tesla option code?

There are a number of ways which we describe later, but in general you need to log into MyTesla and find your car details buried in the HTML.

This page decodes Tesla option codes to help reveal more detailed information about a specific car.

For details on free supercharging see our article guide on free supercharging in conjunction with using this page.

If you know the option code(s), simply enter them in the box below with either a space or a comma between them, and we'll do the rest.

You can also find the configuration screen via your Tesla account. This will list the main configuration codes for your car which includes the core information. On older cars this can be a complete list of the manufacturing codes, on later cars this tends to be a smaller list which includes a model code plus other key data such as colour, trim, etc.

Log into your Tesla account and click on the "Manage" for the chosen car. This will take you to a page dedicated to that particular car.

From here, either:

Navigate to the https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/oxp-bff-api/user-orders, which is a Tesla web page. Something similar to the following will be displayed

{"code":200,"data":{"countryCode":"GB","vehicleList":[{"year":"2022","model":"my","vin":"LRWYHCEK2NC261xxx","rn":"RN11680xxxx","countryCode":"GB","imageUrl":"https://static-assets.tesla.com/v1/compositor/?model=my&view=STUD_3QTR&size=1440&options=$APBS,$DV4W,$INPW0,$PPSW,$PRMY1,$SC04,$MDLY,$WY19B,$MTY09,$STY5S,$CPF0,$DRRH&bkba_opt=1","orderStatus":"DELIVERED...
The text in bold includes the codes you want.
or right click on the image of your car and select "copy image address" which will look a little like the above
Or if you are able to read html, examine the code and look for the configuration code which follows options and will look like 'AD15, AF02A, AH00, APBS...' or for later cars '$AD15, $AH00, $APBS...'.

Copy these codes and drop then into the search box on this page. This works for reservations as well as cars you have taken delivery of. We will convert each option code that we recognise, one of which are typically the supercharging status. Tesla change the layout of this regularly however the option code string is usually always embedded somewhere.

We try to decode your details as best we can, some of the option codes are not known or have not yet been decoded, and some are based on community sourced information and may be inaccurate or the definition is slightly different to that used by Tesla.
