UPDATE (1/8/2019) - Tesla played me again
bump
Can you elaborate? think I only ever saw one other video of his and it wasn't on purpose.
I would have thought getting a used Tesla would have less issues. I ran into the same issue getting a new one.
Generally speaking, Tesla isn't very good at communicating with customers. They dont even seem to communicate well internally.
I hope I never have a serious issue with my S and I dont see how they will handle the hardware upgrade whenever it is released.

What year is your S? I want to cop a used one within the next year. From what I read, they say it's better to get a 2015 model or newer.
2018. I'm not normally a fan of buying used cars, but I probably should have gone that route or just got a new 3. Outside of the size. I dont believe there is much of a difference between the 3 and the S.
I recently saw a YouTube video were a guy claimed he couldn't not use a supercharger because of the year of his car, but I'm not sure how true that is.
same guy
I like the 3 too but I don't believe they're eligible for free lifetime supercharging as a cpo model s. So buying a CPO S for cheaper than the model 3 is more attractive to me
The free supercharging is the reason I went with the S too. I thought I read somewhere that the lifetime free supercharging did not transfer to new owners of a used vehicle.
All the used models on the Teslas website says free supercharging. I also read that Tesla stopped free supercharging for all models after 2017 and provided owners with some type of limited credit. I'll verify this with a rep at a Tesla store to see if it transfers to different owners.
I think it was him being a critic of Tesla that the company purposely gave him the run around lmaoo
Anything is possible, but the Tesla customer service is the worse I've ever dealt with. For a luxury brand, I would have expected a better experience.
For the most part, Rich complaints were not about Tesla cars themselves. It was more so around Tesla refusing to make repairing Teslas yourself easier to do.
I believe his goal is for tesla to certify him as a tesla repair shop.
Sounds like it depends on when the car was originally ordered new. It will transfer if the car was ordered by the original owner before Jan 15, 2017

I know he started a crowdfunding for an EV repair shop/school, but originally he was having issues getting parts from Tesla to repair his salvaged Tesla.
There was something else Tesla would not activate in his Tesla because it was salvaged but I can't remember what it was off hand.
I posted the videos he got it running.... He also talked about that in one of the videos that I posted
Elon out here scammin lol
Update: Tesla played me again
Nah, Tesla is guarding their Proprietary and Intellectual property, and that is what's made it a pain in the ass to get repair parts, etc. They don't train any Independent Auto Techs...in house repairs were the name of the game. He happens to be a talented DIYer.
Link to incriminating video? I've seen a few of his videos but nothing in his content that caught my ear to call him a Negro Mockingbird or anything.
I bought my 2017 Model S technically brand new. It was never titled only, used as a show car. It had 300 miles so they knocked 20k off the sticker plus government incentive. The car is perfect and 1.5 years later, i haven't had any issues besides having to find WiFi for certain updates. That's annoying. The car is like wine, gets better with age. The car i purchased is completely different than the car i own today. It can do so much more now.
Hopefully i won't have to deal with Tesla Service anytime soon. I heard wait times can be ridiculous.

Like I said, he’s trying to scam Tesla’s system. Don’t care how talented he is, that’s not how Tesla rolls
Do you remember that GM and John Deere tried to file suit against the Consumer, to prevent making modifications to YOUR own cars or tractors. They essentially were stating that YOU cant upgrade ECMs/PCMs, emissions systems, and the like because of this? As though YOU don't own the car.
Once it's paid for, as a Consumer, why can't they make the repairs that they need to without being at Tesla's mercy and backlogged timeframe? It's not like the dude is some Chinese rep, trying to reverse engineer the shit. He's here in the States, where his ass would be prosecuted to no end, and Lord knows they've probably already cloned several models in China by now.
