Last year, I found true my Tesla VIN was used to register a car in a different state. I never received the CA renewal notice, then eventually got a “driving with no registration” citation, and had to pay something like a $1k penalty to get it resolved. I never figured out how the same VIN was used? Point being - perhaps ids can accidentally be reused or mis-entered into some system?
