How to find your Tesla part by OE number (and why it matters for ICBC)
Short answer: the OE number is Tesla's exact part code (for example 1084168-S0-E). Matching it is the most reliable way to order the right part, because model year alone often isn't enough on a Tesla. You'll find it printed on the original part, listed on your repair estimate, or via an OE cross-reference tool.
OE numbers also make an insurance repair smoother: BC estimates are written line-by-line against OE parts, so an OE-numbered invoice matches the estimate with less back-and-forth.
Where to find the OE number
On the part: many Tesla parts are stamped or labelled with the OE number — check the back of a bumper cover, the base of a lamp, or a molded tab. On the estimate: a collision estimate lists each part with its OE number. From your VIN: a Tesla parts catalog (EPC) resolves the exact parts for your specific car.
A base OE number often has a suffix that changes with running revisions (for example -00-A vs -00-B). The leading digits identify the part; a different suffix is usually a later version of the same part.
Why ordering by OE beats ordering by year
Tesla changes parts mid-production (sensors, connectors, frunk size, generation refreshes), so two cars of the same year can need different parts. The OE number removes that guesswork.
MapleV's catalog is cross-referenced to Tesla OE numbers — search or send us an OE number and we'll confirm the exact part and whether it's in local stock.
Frequently asked
What does a Tesla OE number look like?
It's a code like 1084168-S0-E: leading digits identify the part, and the suffix marks the revision. Matching the OE number is the most reliable way to order the correct Tesla part.
Where do I find my part's OE number?
Check the original part (often stamped or labelled), your collision repair estimate, or a VIN-based Tesla parts catalog. You can also cross-reference it on MapleV's site.
Why does OE numbering matter for an ICBC repair?
BC estimates are written line-by-line against OE parts, so an OE-numbered part matches the estimate cleanly with less paperwork — one reason body shops prefer OE-numbered invoicing.
