    Seems to be a known issue to Tesla. I had success call them and submitting the email request for transfer. Good luck!

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    Thank you for a wonderful, patient explanation! And congratulations! Do you have what they call a "legacy" vehicle at HW3? Or something newer that got this v12 update sooner than all of us oldies? I'm expecting to be a parent or a 2016.5 S soon! 😊

    Update @brainhouston, Tesla still hasn't done the transfer of ownership. Tried again with the dealer, he confirmed he has LTE, even got on his wifi, loaded Yahoo on the browser. I started the additional of car on my end, he changed the name and, Bam! Same issue... Make sure you're connected to...

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    Friends, Forgive the ignorance. Never owned a Tesla with FSD. However, there is a possible "Unicorn" P100D that is en route to me that will have FSD. Two questions: 1. What is the big hype about v12 FSD, when the prior builds have always met with the, "FSD is basically something I wouldn't...

    Yes, this is what I meant... I didn't know the first thing about towing a Tesla. I'd imagine that a flatbed is also a necessity? Thank you!

    AAA is checked, and non negotiable for me, every year, I only own old cars haha! XCare is the only option I know of, but when they don't want to cover the battery on this thing, nor DU. So, not sure weather to nest egg this thing or get XCare to get the kinks out? BTW how do we tow Teslas...

    Thanks bud... I'll try to troubleshoot with the dealer again, any other tips you got for getting the LTE to catch Connectivity, like the maps thing? Now I'm nervous that the car has issues with its cellular radio? 😊 Brain, good idea on the Wifi, bud. Not sure if the dealer will play. At this...

    I thought about the lack of connectivity, but if the car showing LTE at the top and not connecting, do I have bigger issues like, Premium Connectivity not being on the car or LTE chip fried? Do you guys recommend a way to confirm connectivity? Like launch a browser or something? Sorry, haven't...

    Thanks blodg1. I suppose two points/questions here: 1. Transferring the car to my account and seeing FUSC, FSD, Premium Connectivity will give me the final peace of mind. Especially if I can do this before the dealership ships the car. In case there are hiccups, I could try to back out? 2. I...

    Very helpful, helpful post my friend! I'm assuming this would be true for FSD too, if they took it away. About the VIN, if I give you the last 6, what could you confirm with it? I really appreciate your post and help!

    No, my friend! I thought the seller is crazy asking that much. Market proves it cause it's unsold. Was surprised when some people on Reddit and possibly here said, it was fair. Funny part was the drop from the seller in price... It was a whopping $900 LOL! So it's 59.1 now LOL!

    Thanks for following up, my friend! If you're gambling, I'm mortgaging my generations, huh? 😊 I got the Performance model and apparently low miles are an issue too! Did you get the n2tive camber arms? If not, which ones? Thank you!

    Brian, your posts are usually so knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for this one as well. Makes me feel better about my purchase? Are you saying I might be OK on the DU failing with a coolant flush of some sort? Can you assist me further? I appreciate you as always man! 😊

    Thank you for sharing, very helpful post. Cool high mileage S for you! Do you recall how long Tesla took to finalize your ownership with the app? Sounds like I'm in a world or trouble with this low miles and expiring warranty, huh? Man... Some FUD in this thread, but I suppose I asked for it...

    Excellent post and point about the API as well! I really wish there was an easy way. Fair point about the $0.00 charge. I did the best I could to verify. Gonna see if the dealership can take it to a supercharger and see if it charges. I also found a Tesla contact that says that they see the...

    Small world (the doctor part)... I thank you for your post! What process did you use to do the transfer and verify the feature set, if you don't mind me asking? About the price, I'm curious... You mentioned you think it's way too high. What would have been a fair or decent price to you for...

    Sounds good, my friend. One possible correction, seems like FSD does transfer between owners, as long as the dealer did not buy the car from Tesla auctions.

    I do see some 2020 LR+ in high 40s with less mileage than this one. So I was surprised at 60K being right. But you could be right, that's why I'm out here posting on this forum to get educated. Thank you.
