I think Teslas are built in that plant now.

You would have a nightmare on your hands. As marxjunk said, lawsuit.
1) Hire lawyer
2) get (hire) expert witnesses to testify the block is fake
3) prove that the seller's intention was to defraud you
4) get (hire) and expert witness to explain to and convince a judge that a few numbers on a piece of metal make difference in a car's value
5) if you get a settlement in your favor, hope you get paid

.... you get the idea. You're screwed.

In addition to Fremont plant, Arlington also stamped some vins up high near the EUN number.

I should have said Atlanta (not Arlington). Please accept my apologies for the error.
There have been numerous examples (posted on PY) of Atlanta blocks being stamped up in the location that is common for Fremont vins.
Regards,
Steve
