Tesla CEO Elon Musk hailing from the Arcade Gaming generation is personally a fan of easter eggs and often integrates them in Tesla vehicles. But it looks like the universe also looks for him for some coincidences.

Recently, the VIN sticker of the 1000th Tesla Model Y produced at Gigafactory Berlin surfaced on Twitter. Interestingly, this vehicle identification number (VIN) has the word ELON if read with a little bit of concentration.

Tesla influencer Sawyer Merrittt’s source from Giga Berlin reported that the factory had produced 1,000 Model Y electric SUVs till yesterday (24 Feb 2022).

The VIN code in the above image reads XP7YGCELONB001000 — it is just a coincidence or Elon Musk is behind it, we will probably never know for sure. But it has ignited interest from Elon Musk and Tesla fans (to decode the VIN refer to the guide below).

The vehicle information sticker of the Giga Berlin-made Model Y VIN 1000 contains some additional information about the vehicle as well. Like the additional serial code under the VIN that reads as GFBB-GA1-C1-00879. The code GFBB refers to Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, the rest of it is most probably referring to the building, floor, and production line that the vehicle was built on.

There is also a Battery code on this vehicle info badge that reads 43 as the value. This code is also present in Fremont-made Model 3 and Model Ys and refers to the 2170 form factor cells. Therefore, these initial 1000 units are not using the next-gen 4680 form factor cells (Learn more on this at tesla-info.com).

The rest of the sticker provides the following information in addition to the VIN:

  • Color: Solid Black,
  • Country Code: DE (Germany)
  • Drivetrain: AWD
  • Body Type: Sedan
  • Chassis: P (1993 – 2023)
  • Interior: BL (Black)
  • Seats: 5
  • Wheels: 21″

Tesla got permission to build the initial 2,000 units at Giga Berlin from the local government before the automaker could scale production for mass deliveries to customers in Europe. The final approval to start mass production was expected to be obtained by Tesla before the end of 2021 but it is still pending and we’re approaching the last month of Q1 2022.
