Tesla Status Codes, Explained
200 Ok
Congratulations! Your Tesla is ready to drive. And remember, the Autopilot system for which you paid an extra $10K requires constant supervision; use at your own risk.
202 Accepted
Your reservation for a Model Y has been processed. Your estimated delivery date is February July September December 2022 TBD.
307 Temporary Redirect
Your Tesla is in the shop. Here is a code to rent a Chevy Malibu while it's being fixed.
308 Permanent Redirect
Your lease ended last month, and someone else owns this Tesla. It's time to move on.
400 Bad Request
Your Tesla does not recognize that key fob. Perhaps this is the toy mouse your cat plays with?
401 Unauthorized
Access to your Tesla has been suspended due to too many customer complaints.
402 Payment Required
You remember this Tesla is a lease, right? And you're aware it can be remote-controlled from a server in Fremont and disabled if you miss a payment? Come on, man, it's not that complicated.
404 Not Found
Dude, where's my Tesla?
409 Conflict
The body builder next to you claims this is actually his Tesla. You may need to arm wrestle him for it.

411 Directory Assistance
We're sorry. There is no number listed for “Elon Musk”.

416 Range Not Satisfiable
You want to drive where? LOL!

911 Emergency Hotline
Your Tesla hit a tree while driving in autopilot mode, the battery exploded, and your car is engulfed in flames. Unfortunately, emergency services is short staffed at this time. Enjoy some toasted marshmallows while you wait!
