If you're in the market for a rebuilt title Tesla or you want to rebuild a salvage Tesla from the auction there's a lot you need to know. Tesla has changed many of its policies recently and it may surprise you on how limited these cars can be. I still love my 2015 P85D that we rebuilt after it was totaled by the insurance company but it's not like owning a normal Tesla. Rich Rebuilds helps out with this one as he knows a thing or two about wrecked Teslas so enjoy and I hope this helps you out.

Do you think Tesla is doing it right by removing supercharging from all Salvage Teslas?
_No, someone paid good money to support the brand, and buy a Tesla. Even if the car has been a salvage rebuilt properly, it shouldn't be blacklisted. That said, once the car has been brought back to life the right way(and depending on a person's state laws), a non-branded title may be issued to defray the car from the bowels of Elon Musk and the 'supercharger' (no pun intended)._
No. They are grubby elitist living off the foolishness of middle class.
I feel like it would be in a case by case basis.
Yours has gone through the right hoops that it should!
I think its totally wrong for Tesla to do that. if you get in an accident, would the tesla always be totaled out. because wouldn't the car be considered rebuilt if repaired by a body shop with an insurance claim? and then won't the supercharger not work?
Yes, i think its their right to ban salvaged cars because i've seen some hacked DIY rebuilds over the years. They've already got PR nightmares with battery fires and autopilot crashes. They don't need any more bad press with salvage cars BUT i also think the company could offer owner paid inspections to get access to the super charger station. Besides, its only a matter of time before someone hacks the tesla software and tricks the supercharger stations or people have already cloned vins and are tricking the superchargers. hush... its a secret... If anyone knows if it can be done ,Damien Maguire would know
Just imagine if every time you bought a salvage gas powered car but you could not buy gas anymore !!
Dude 😂😂😂
You can buy gas, but only by the teaspoon.
@Bob Marly why plug in and drive if you can smoke and fly. 😂
But you can still pump gas at home lol
I guess Tesla is the Apple of EV's.
Next on Electrified Garage: Jailbreaking
unlike removing unreasonable restrictions from a phone, charging is like free gas, so basically piracy.
I can see why they'd want to restrict the best option and i'm just wondering how long it'll actually be free.
@@kruleworld From what i have read, they took away free supercharging for newer models, they probably found out it was too expensive, so now they will do their best to get as many cars off of the "free supercharging forever" scheme.
Would not surprise me if they would launch a service, where salvage cars can supercharge, but at a cost.
This video really have me, not want a tesla, even though i was sort of planning on maybe buying a Model Y in the future.
I dont like the fact that Tesla can turn features on and off.
What if Tesla suddenly decides to become uber eco friendly so they disable everyone's climate control, to save energy.
If i bought a car, that has some features, i dont want to live with the knowledge, that the manufacturer can shut down features or even the whole car, at any give time, for any given reason.
Of this is the future, i bet there will be some agencies in different countries that would want a kill switch for all electric cars.
Offcourse in the name of terrorism, but if sometime in the future, the people would dare to rise against the government, it would be handy for them to be able to disable people's cars, so they could not go to the government and overthrow them.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz That's when you roll up in that old manual swapped schoolbus, that doesn't technically need electronics to run, and with enough people, could be push started.
You probably have to hack the supercharger network for this, not the car. It’s easier to get the ccs adapter ...
@@VolkerHett I bet when the car is connected to the charger they exchange data and the car tell's it's VIN.
If the VIN is blocked, then it will not work.
Change the VIN the car reports to the charger to one that is not blacklistet and it might just work.
But offcourse, you will essentially be "stealing" power from Tesla.
Everything you Musk know before buying a Tesla.
Good one!!
More like everything Musk knows about you before (and after) buying a Tesla. I’m most disturbed by the remote disabling of features that has been reported on clean title used (and even CPO) Teslas.
Don't buy a Tesla... Pretty much
th-cam.com/video/LBUHeghNg6Y/w-d-xo.html
Elon Musk already knew he was disable supercharging... meaning the obvious China trajectory crisis data would cause spike on use sale of buying any new Tesla models.
So now here come the re-engineer Tesla hackers to circumvent an null loop to disable any type of communication with the host. However in returns you gain back supercharge.
You've been MUSKed. What did you expect?
The joys of "Propriety" infrastructure. Imagine a gas station refusing to sell you gas because your cars been rebuilt? crazy.
@Adam84 B I've seen Lithium batteries explode so the only conclusion you can come to is the technology is so dangerous, Tesla want to distance themselves from any lawsuit. I wouldn't want to buy into that, even new.
@@radweld Lithium is not the only medium to combust e.g. ICE example th-cam.com/video/qn_20K2auN4/w-d-xo.html
Gas stations will only allow you to put gas in approved containers due to fire hazard. I totaled high voltage lithium car is a fire hazard. So yea, imagine that plugging into a high voltage charger around other teslas.
I waited a long time for this video to be made; literally. I was sitting in my car waiting for Rich and Alex to finish taping this....
You got a good nap in. Luckily we are seasoned veterans and knocked it out in only 14 takes.
If you're in the correct car you could have baked a pizza.
God sam is such a dork lol
Tesla also makes you rebuy the optional features the previous owner bought... if you don’t pay the turn it off remotely.
Not true. There was a case with a car that was never supposed to come with those features, but did, and thats why they deactivated them.
Yup it's true and many are reporting the same problems! Musk is a thief.
Yup. Tesla is off the board for me. Very shady business practices.
Dimitar Stanev that car originally had those features and it was sold used with those features being advertised by the dealer. Tesla deactivated those features after the new owner bought that car
this is illegal in several states.
I think it absolutely ridiculous that they do that. They are part of a throwaway society.
Quite literally drive a 21 year old salvage title vehicle that still looks new . Bought for 10k and I can easily get 15k for it salvage title and all.
Supercharging can be dangerous, they don't want fires. Is that so hard to understand?
@@VNCTHE1 then there should be the ability to fix that. Is that so hard to understand?
@@terrandroid How is Tesla supposed to know how you (the DIYer) fixed the car and made the electrical connections? Personally I've revived a lot of cars by fixing them, swapping motors, transmissions, etc. to get them back on the road, but I've never bothered with a salvage title vehicle because all the work you put into restoring it makes it value-less with a salvage title...
Just don't mess with restoring salvage title cars, buy them for parts only...simple.
@@VNCTHE1 a car can be salvage titled and have zero electrical issues. Sooo there goes your point
Ultimately these policies reduce the salvage value of a Tesla, which in turn increases the insurance cost and thus the cost of ownership.
Keep us posted on whether your AC gets cut off this summer for mouthing off.
So you're telling me they want you to pay for a feature that was already paid for up front or assigned to that vehicle. Now because there was an accident that gets removed forever? How is this legal?
The same as any warranty with any car the last 100 years. If the car is totaled the warranty is no longer valid. You’re driving a wrecked lithium powered fire hazard and you expect Tesla to say “sure plug your wrecked car to a high voltage fast charger around other Teslas, it’s fine!” Come on use some common sense.
Seems like you’re not actually “buying” a car when you buy a Tesla. You’re buying the “right” to drive a Tesla. I’d never do it, but there is some advantage to it. Many disadvantages. Buying a salvaged Tesla gives you the car kinda without the right to drive it.
Nether Warrior thanks for that reply. I understand that and It makes total sense to me. But seemingly, even after they take possibly five grand to inspect the car, they don’t let you use their supercharger. Plus they can’t really control what people do to their new or non-salvaged Teslas that might screw with the supercharger network. It’s great to protect people and the network. But I’m not sure this really does it. That being said, the policy is fine with me. It’s their network. No argument. These cars are not like other cars.
Elon Musk is part of the elite problem on this planet...he knows what is going on, within future technologies...I’ve driven a S model Tesla and I found it great, very nice car indeed...but, that don’t make him a Saint, he is within the deep state or what ever you want to call them...that’s why he is in the electric car business and Space-X...and that’s why he has had two rockets blown up on the pad...because he is deep state...
Do you not realise how fucking dangerous 100kW+ of electricity is you dipshits? If someone fucks up a backyard repaid and kills themselves supercharging sky would fall. Use your heads and quit playing dumb.
Same as Microsoft, you don't OWN the operating system, you just have the right to USE it.
This is definitely part of the right to fix movement. Please sue thier asses!!!
Supercharging is a subsidised service to new buyers of Tesla's not an entitlement to all and sundry. I agree about right to fix and they've been able to do that. You wouldn't expect them to be able to use the previous owners Gym membership card they found in the salvage vehicle too would you?
@@healeydave it's bad business when you can just turn off features that was bought with the vehicle. Then Tesla will sue you for turning those features back on? WTF... who owns the item from then on? Is it still the the property of Tesla and it's on loan to you? If it's your property, you should be able to do anything you want with it.
@@tjav001 I agree with you to a point, I think Tesla needs to be careful what they disable but being able to use the Supercharger network is not a right, even new Tesla buyers have to pay to use it if they don't have free supercharging included with their particular model. Tesla owns the Supercharger network, not the car buyers, its a service/membership that comes with new car ownership and is subject to T's&C's. But who reads T's & Cs right?
:-)
I do think all Tesla's even salvaged Tesla's should have the right to use the network on a Pay As You Go basis to cover the electricity they're using and towards the up-keep.
@@healeydave I also agree with you that Tesla can do whatever they want with thier chargers. But disabling features like DC fast charging, which is integral to the car, as seen in Rich Rebuilds latest video is pretty F'd up.
@@tjav001 Agreed, that's what I meant by "Tesla needs to be careful what they disable". Disabling access to value added services is one thing, but crippling features like DC fast charging is quite another!
The E55 wouldn’t do this to you
Right I should buy another or something
@@LegitStreetCars Please do!!! I'll pass on a Tesla for now.
@@LegitStreetCars Just keep it. Its value probably has gone down but it's still cool and has that awesome, instant acceleration.
@@LegitStreetCars What good is a car if you can't use it for its intended purpose? If you are out driving your Tesla and you get a call that your mother, who lives 150 miles away, is in the hospital in critical condition, do you have time to go home and switch it out for another car that can get you there? What good is this car at this point?
@Bob Marly Who would want a $100,000 toy that you really can't use? It is not like it is a good looking car when you want to stare at it or a car that has a soul. This is an appliance and when it is not usable anymore, it gets thrown away. Like they said, most Tesla owners are not car guys, but environment guys. they will not spend money to keep a useless appliance in the garage.
Hindsight: Fix and sell the vehicle, then monitor that buyer to see what happens. Manufacturers have pulled this garbage for years but this is a huge one. They should have a reinspection process to allow it back in; and or you should be able to find a local lawyer who will chase after this :) Keep the discussions going!
Why should they give you a service that costs them money? Nothing says everything is free, you want charging buy a non salvage car but dont hold you r breath that they will keep that service going for much longer either.
I can hear Rich laughing.
Poor dude just set up an entire garage for these trash cans
General Motors and John Deere have been limiting "ownership" for a few years, and there has been some legal battles regarding ownership rights vs. manufacturing/intellectual property rights. While this has primarily been limited to software in the vehicle systems, the precedence is far reaching (to include Tesla).
So this makes this car pretty much useless...not worth it at all especially with how much you spent and how much time went into it.
Yeah these disposa cars are piss poor built garbage
Pretty sure you can still use any other charging network. Only difference is you have to pay for them.
@@captainplantain6507 not sure, that's not what electrek wrote about
Melche’s Garage not useless, but its value went seriously down
@@captainplantain6507 No, they do not want to make it to be blacklisted only from tesla superchargers. The car cannot take DC -> DC charging. It's stupid as fuck. You are stuck to charge at home from the wall .. max 7kwh or whatever it is ...
on the same day I had issues with TH-cam and Mark Rober AWESOME!!
You what now
Could you imagine if chevy said " we dont like the way you drive so were disabling your car forever"..
Well that’s not what they are doing. Tesla does not want a disaster at a supercharger. Sure this one is rebuilt well but what if someone did not take care and it does catch fire ?
Couldn’t the same be said about any other car ? What if they don’t correctly fix some vital part of the car like the brakes or the evap system and a tragedy happens
The end of GM
Moon Tuned the car still works... just not the same way.
@@jhosue_247 any other car brand doesn't have their own refuling station to catch fire on.
I like to point out that the authentication for supercharging is on the vehicle side.
So if you were to get a salvage vehicle, and everything you wanted is turned on... Removing the SIM card and not allowing it to connect to Wi-Fi would let the car continue (without updates) to work just as it always has.
Also it's your hardware, you have the right to modify what's on it including the bits.
Seems to take the intrigue of owning a Tesla away.
Especially when Elon really owns it and you do not. China loves these remotely controlled surveillance devices even more.
Right to repair. See, John Deere vs. Farmers.
Ifixit says, "if you can't repair it, then you don't own it".
yes all your Tesla cars are owned by Emperor Musk! LOL
*I daily drive a 2010 Ford Explorer 4X4 V8 XLT and have a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro with a 350 HO crate engine; I could care less about gas mileage.* 😂
This is all very simple. When life becomes less tangible, & more synthetic, control is lost to most but gained by a few. The joy of driving is on the brink of extinction like most things. Appreciate this channel to help me keep enjoying it & learning about combustion engine cars before they become a thing of the past.
Class Action Lawsuit...
It's a shame they have the legal power to do that
Advocate for the "right to repair" laws in your state.
For supercharging? No, that's a service they sold to original customer.
For blocking DC fast charge outside their own infrastructure? Yes. They sold the car equipped with this function and you're not using their infrastructure at all.
This ridiculous "we will sue you if you re-enable it yourself even if you don't use it" fortunately won't work in many countries.
And all of that because this is stored in car computer itself, instead of authorizing car to Tesla server after being connected to charger.
What is with you people and suing everyone for literally everything?
@@SzymczykProductions only way it will change.
I bought a nearly new flooded model 3 with a salvage title. There really wasn’t much wrong with it but the car computer has gotten wet and didn’t function 100%. The car computer holds the VIN and mileage so you really can’t replace it yourself, I took it to the service center and had them finish the car and program some keys. Short story long, they performed a “salvage title vehicle inspection” in which they removed and tested the battery and inspected the rest of the car, then they replaced and programmed the car computer. I drove the car for a couple weeks then returned and had the perform the “supercharging test and inspection” and now the car is 100% and supercharges fine. If you don’t want to pay the money for Tesla to test and inspect the car then fine but don’t complain that your car won’t supercharge. There is a way to get it back but you gotta pay.
This didn't apply to the Model S at the time of making this video. You could never get supercharging back.
Tesla's resale value is going to start taking a hit. Lease a new one and run away when the lease expires. Why be held hostage by a corporation that control your mobility? No thanks!
It's like an awful dictatorship where they can do anything to your car where you have no choice. Even if you bought it.
Sadly I bet people will since Apple and John Deere have done similar things with minimal repercussions or legislation against this.
@@QuickQuips You are right they will because Tesla fanboys are brainwashed by Elon Musk, you know there is a brain washing program in that giant iPad he attaches to his cars, every time the owner / driver gets in..... bam! brainwashing begins. LOL
Tesla still controls your mobility while you are renting it.
Don’t even lease buddy. They charge double the interest rate than anyone else. It’s equivalent to (5.79%APR) while any another manufacturer uses (2-3.8%APR)
Samcrac must be pretty happy he lost the coin toss.
Forget Tesla. They're like an entitled Karen. And I can't believe they have the nerve to keep charging for the same options every time the car is resold. Elon can gargle my gonads
And my wife says I'm the only one that says disrespectful sh@#!!!!!! Fn hilarious!!!!!!!!
Thats a bs story which has been debunked. Congratulations on falling for it
Only some features i.e. like autopilot
@@larryspiller15 No, they did it until they were called out on their shit.
@@molskimauler lol nope. They sold it at action after removing the feature. A dealership bought it and printed the original sticker to claim it had the feature, falsely advertised it and the guy who bought it fell for it. Both times the dealer and the individual could of verified but were negligent. The car wasn't advertised by tesla to either of them to have the feature lol
"right to repair" class action incoming?
Nobody said you can't repair it. Tesla just doesn't have to support it or provide Supercharging.
@@MitchyTheKid4095 The problem is they disable all fast charging, not just supercharging... And even then, since Teslas supercharging is no standard you are basically suffering from vendor lock-in... Welcome to the real reasons why nobody should ever buy a Tesla.
@@fintrollpgr The real problem is you can't even fast charge at non-tesla fast chargers! Musk has total control over your Tesla cars. He could probably remotely order your Tesla car to be driven off cliff remotely if that's what he wanted.
thanks for the mid week content. i'm running out of stuff to watch since i'm working from home now.
Yes you can take long trips: Use "Electrify America" locations. Tesla removing a feature is called "nerfing." Servicing a Tesla is a lot like repairing an Apple product. :)
Tesla is even blocking this ways of fast charging
There should be a class action suit for this.
Welcome to the future, where faceless strangers thousands of miles away can disable your car......
@Gianni Green eyesAnd they can therefore disable anything else about the car, because the dealers were able to detect his rebuilt car as he drove it to them.
This is way I'll never buy a Tesla. Before I spent that kind of money on a Tesla I'll go with a C8 😅.
Needs a manual though..
@@TravisFabel your right. But for now that awesome dual clutch trans will be just fine.😅
Some Tesla owners sure aren’t car enthusiast. I came across a guy, maybe late 30s who owns a Medel 3, and when I asked as to why he got one, he said it seemed the newer thing to buy, and he didn’t know about engines or gas mileage so he bought an electric car bc it did the job for him.
Welcome to the "throw away culture".
FreerunMediaService the salvaged car still drives and can be charged overnight. Exactly how I would operate the vehicle...
So it’s been 2 years. Tesla has implemented a system to get salvaged titles cars back on their superchargers.
Or you can DIY getting CCS turned on.
Dude you should just spend the money on the supercharged r63 for sale right now. Its a lovely thing.
I agree
Tesla showing that money is indeed king, and saving the gas emissions is always an after thought.
Um... is that a sweet e class wagon you're filming in?! I recognize that interior from my rear view mirror! Love the w211 - 55 or 63?
R63 is 2+2+3
Look at those super high voltage power lines and all those Teslas being super charged...but NO SUPER CHARGE FOR YOU!
That's crazy I was showing my cousin Elon these Tesla rebuild videos.He seemed to be a little upset
Used teslas that have FSD and Supercharging are also really vulnerable of having those 2 features removed
This. I love Teslas, I really do and my plan was to finally buy a used 3 in 4-5 years when cheaper ones are available here in Italy, but if used cars are that risky, then I don't think I will. We'll see, just wait a bit for the dust to settle and prices on the used market to crash because of this, if a used Tesla is cheap enough then heck I'll consider it anyway, but as a project car, not a daily.
Who needs FSD anyway? And paid supercharging isn't expensive.
@@coccoborg Used cars are not risky. Salvaged cars are risky.
@@mcplutt risky in the sense that features available at the moment of purchase may be remotely disabled after some time
Would be nice if you gave a list of your alternative options not getting supercharging.
How about charging outside supercharger network like ionity, etc...?
Any DC fast charging is disabled too
OK, time to start hacking the BMS ... :D
@@brocluno01 Plus, as soon as rebuild the car, remove the sim card...
This right here is exactly why I refuse to even look at a Tesla.
Michael Powell Refuse to look at a salvaged Tesla?
@@taylor92493 Any Tesla. They are going out of their way to make it difficult for their customers, more expensive than it needs to be for repairs, and creating throw away cars (doing the opposite of what they want to do for the environment) and then you still don't know what features you'll have day to day since they control all of it through software.
The one thing I can say other manufacturers need to work on is the centralized computer system for the car. Tesla knocks everyone out of the park in that aspect. Traditional manufacturers are wasting energy/time by having the supply chain at the size they do and creating unnecessary complexity to the electrical systems of current vehicles.
Had same after upgrade myself 90 to 100kwh. After 6 months they disabled SC, but you can re-enable it + kick tesla out of car and it will work as long as you dont go to SC V3 (once you kick tesla out of car you will lose SC status,updates,mob app but other people can give you all that)
8:20 RIP Alex, it was nice knowing ya!
I have a friend who will soon be 95 years old. He was a self-made millionaire at 21 and has been an investor his entire life. When I told him about the Tesla free for life charging, he said
"Look for that to disappear, nothing is free!"It would seem that this may be the first strike. On the other hand, this may be an opportunity for someone to start up pay per charge vending.
wow. eye opening vid. never will buy one
Buy a car with a combustion engine, you can go to Alaska and back, no issues. Plus gas is cheap
This is very good information. My wife wants to trade her BMW for a Tesla, but now I'm hesitant to do so.
This only applies to salvage or rebuilt title cars so disregard the video if you guys want to buy a clean title car.
Guys this screams for a jailbreak/hack. Also Alex you need to take this car with the next level mod: Milltek exhaust sounds for the Tesla! It sounds amazing!!
It's been some time since I saw the P85D on here. I'm curious what you have into it all in at this point. I just got a 20K mile P90D with lifetime supercharging, autopilot v1, tech package, hi-fi, the works for $66K clean title.
You have to be loving that thing. I'll make a video on cost but it's much less than that
When you buy a salvage Tesla they shut off supercharging so in essence it becomes a bolt, Kia, Hyundai, anything other than a Tesla yet being a Tesla it's still a far better car overall. Still a win which is why Rich and friends who like wrenching on their own cars still go with Tesla.
The more I learn about ev’s the more I realize that petrol and diesel will always be king....
No, petrol and diesel are a dying breed.
@@gljames24 yes but people still think they are better, but the government's and fanboys are killing off gas and diesel which is dumb
TrashBandit 24 limited resources is killing off gas. One day it won’t be here and rnd has gotta start some time. It’s not ideal yet but gas cars have had a long time to mature so give electric time.
@@djhakimi3419 we have enough gas for a while yet. That wasn't the reason I'm against electric. Not exactly against it, but when it's killing off the cars I like, I'm against that
gas will be gone in 40+ years probably even earlier because it could be really scarce in the future
I know I can speak for millions on this question but I wished there was a company that sells the salvaged Tesla already fixed up n everything to customers who maybe cannot afford the ridiculous price it’s currently marketed as? If that was a option everyone can help the planet heal.
Why on Earth would anybody want to buy a car that the manufacturer can turn off and keep you from using remotely.
Thats not whats happening though. They are talking about salvage teslas.
@@xxZerosumxx No I understand that but in theory they have that power.
@@xxZerosumxx You do not understand how the OTA updating works, obviously.
@@machtschnell7452 Yes,please informe me. Because on my tesla i occasionally get an update. Is that whats called an OTA? LOL
Right to repair is super important... Buy a car it should be YOURS
Look at the bright side: fast charger would probably kill the lifetime of your battery. Fast charger battery is too violent for the battery cells. Level 2 charging is not that bad and won’t hurt your battery life.
And you can travel long distance in that without supercharging 😂😂
You cannot supercharge your car because they didn’t super “charge” you. Bring the car to Tesla, they will super “charge” you and then you can supercharge your Tesla. Twisted relationship :).
It looks like you're sitting in a w211 amg wagon 👀👀👀
Fantastic looking car ,sell the battery and all the electrics,Install V8 its already got Merc Jag parts and turn into normal car?
Put a V8 under the hood! You will have some views! Nice video as always!
Rich DID!!
here in the Netherlands there is always a public charging point somewhere. you can even request a charging point in your street in your hometown. you pay an average of 35 euro cents per kilowatt. A Tesla without a super charge is therefore no problem.
Yeah this is why I’ll be driving petrol and diesel cars until they’re banned worldwide. I’ll probably using a mobility scooter to move around by that point if I live to that time.
Is the Block from DC fast charge at the Tesla Supercharger or at the vehicle? What I’m saying is that is the Tesla able to DC fast charge using an adapter on third party chargers or is it blocked from doing so also?
Q: What if the car you repaired was your own which you purchased new from Tesla ?
Is Rich working on a hack to allow faster charging at non Tesla stations?
Tesla treats the car as a rolling list of subscription services. And that's a problem for the consumer
What if u buy a clean title from the auction but has damage from the end? Will supercharging be blacklisted
Right to repair is a huge 21st Century issue.
Are you sitting in a w211 E55 wagon with rich?
or is it a c55 wagon?
Can you DC Fast Charge on a third party network (i.e. via a CHAdeMO adapter?)
Chad Courtney unfortunately not
Thanks for your video's you saved me from buying a tesla and now im going to get a fully loaded camaro for alot less money.
Probably your association with Rich Rebuilds got you black listed
Adam R should have stayed under t he e radar...
Can you use third party charge stations like Electrify America with an adaptor??
Any DC fast charging is disabled.only 240v outlets or normal public chargers
Why would they cripple their own cars like this?
I guess they want to control every aspect of their cars and salvage cars could be defective in terms of the autopilot and other stuff.
it's explained in the video
@Adrian sorry you mean demented capitalist. You must be American, unable to understand political terms.
Adrian well if a car has a salvaged or rebuilt title that means it’s broken and ragged to begin with so the chances of it failing are 10 times higher. Imagine Tesla as a company falling just because a guy Electrocuted himself while trying to fix his Tesla. It’s not to force you to buy new cars it’s to protect themselves because they have no way of telling how good your car really is if it wasn’t repaired by a Tesla center. I would imagine the government would shut off your house electricity if you did your own wiring and shit. Dumb fuck
0:55 Finally, someone else who listens to Taking Back Sunday
Note to self... NEVER BUY A TESLA
Note to self... NEVER BUY ICE
It's alright occasionally, just not every day... Been there done that😂
@@VNCTHE1 I like ICE it's very cool!
@@VNCTHE1 is ice also affected?
@@izoyt very affected, by EVs
Yes Tesla is doing the right thing, the supercharge service is locked to the original owner and once the car is written off the owner got his or her money back and the service is no longer available to the car. But Tesla should allow the new owner to purchase that service if the car is Safe to have it.
moral of the story. don't buy tesla.
Don't buy salvage ones at that.new ones are good
I have a salvage title model S and still have free supercharging. There must be something else in play with this car. Warranties will never be reinstated on salvage cars, regardless if it’s EV or ICE.
I'd rather have Corona then having HOA Tesla boss me around.
You should LS swap it. Greedlon musk would love that.
How dare you try to recycle a Tesla! Think of the landfills! lol
Sounds like there is a need for an aftermarket computer system for Teslas. I know there aren’t a ton of rebuilders (yet). But some sharp enthusiast mist have the skills needed to create a controller that Tesla itself cannot control. Would work well for Tesla drivetrain swaps into other cars also.
Chinese will do 😂😂😂😂
I heard it's unable to charge at other charging networks as well. Is this true?
You are correct.
Incorrect.
@@dirtysouthtv2209 no DC fast charging possible
they are speaking facts 100% when they are talking bout the 2 kinds of ppl that own these cars. at the end of the day i don't care as long as we all buy it tho
If anyone has a chance, these “TH-cam famous” cars don’t have a shot from the start.
Maybe they could offer supercharging to paying customers? It’d be a win/win situation
I love how Tesla has all these anti-consumer practices but yet people still flock to them. They're like the Apple Co. of the car world.
The range on the binocular dashboard is typical - it is not inaccurate but as a reference point that does not change overtime (just over updates if Tesla feels it has to - recent update for MS and MX raven.
So this range provided is realistic at summer, no rain, steady speed at max 100km/h or 60mph.
Now the energy app is there to tell you what is the expected range based on the distance, temperature, elevation, previous driving style, and other criterial. And for doing many many road trips, this energy app is really accurate! Really!
Rich, don’t know about your guest, but you should know that by now! Come on bro!!!
I just wanted to say that I’ve always thought “why tesla isn’t in Brazil yet?” (I’m a Brazilian). And, after seen this video, I’m certain that Elon doesn’t sell his cars here because these types of “costumer policies” are very illegal around here. If he took away any features of a car he just sold, probably he would get so many individual and Class Law suits that it would make ir unable to exist in our country.
Could you charge on other EV stations ? Better route planner ????
Yep, that is very helpful. Now I know I will never own a Tesla or even look at buying anything with that name on it!
So basically don’t buy or rebuild a salvage Tesla unless you want a fancy paperweight that you can’t even use for that purpose. Got it, good information
Respect the old school TBS.
This sounds like a good reason to convert cars with salvage title in to petrol engine projects.. 😜 Just install a large IPad in the dash and 6Ltr Camaro drive train
Sure someone clever enough can hack the car into tricking the charger to supercharge 🤔
That's possible but Tesla would fuck you over
