Copart or IAAI auctions might list a "seller" for your reference but the bill of sale comes from Copart or IAAI if you're the licensed buyer of their vehicle.

Is there a defeat device to stop Tesla from changing my cruise control speed to 55 in random spots where it seems to think there’s a construction zone when there is none. I’d pay good money for it. And even if it was a construction zone please stop trying to save me from the world !

It’s a slightly less gimmicky feature than summon. It’s for showing your friends and instilling some fear into them and to turn on every week to remind yourself why you don’t use it.

Yeah, I just wanted confirmation that the blue sky is indeed blue. What a great marketing and sales scam FSD has been. Some might say that’s too harsh and I blame myself at least 60% for believing in a loosely specified product. At the time the koolaid was delicious.

I have a Tesla 3 and the only reason I haven’t sold it is because I’ve been counting on a “final” release of FSD to Jack the selling price of the car. Am I delusional?

I’ve had on and off SC allowed through whatever hiccups Tesla has done OTA unbeknownst to me and certainly without permission to modify my vehicle but here’s a new one. Got a green indicator this morning that a change has been made to my screen - which again I did not request or allow. So I...

I see no evidence to the contrary. Schedule an inspection and they’ll verify your ability to reinstate SC.

Haha. Woops. Apologies. Phone browser not very explicit and I’m not getting younger

That is not true. You can research salvage Tesla topics here. There Are 2 inspections to enable sc. one is safety, other is ( I forget). Lots of success stories here. Also 3s and Ys can still dc fast charge. It would be illegal for Tesla to change your vehicle by removing dc fast charging via...

I’ve seen the inside of the battery pack and the modules are on 1 ish inch standoffs so even a 12mm dent shouldn’t have any affect on them.

That's not whataboutism. Whataboutism would be if you were saying Rivian or someone else is also cutting SC from their network. What White is writing is correlation and it is commonly used in law. More correlation is that a Y or 3 can still DC fast charge at a 3rd party EVSE. I'm sure those...

One of my Teslas had re-enabled SC after inspections and free premium still continues. It would be a blatant violation to start charging a customer after they bought the vehicle as-is, where-is. That's common law. There's precedent. Manuf can't change their contract to the car if ownership...

I would say it's unfortunate to you because you overpaid by 30k. But then again, I wouldn't ridicule anyone online either way.

I was recently in Santa Cruz and South Lake Tahoe where there is a magic dock along the way and totally forgot to try it out. I can't believe no one has tried this yet.

Lets see if someone tests it but my guess is no. The charge station is just a supply source. The Tesla software is what allows or denies the charger to charge and the charger is in and part of the car. Tesla has OTA changed software of owners of branded title that removes the ability to SC...

That is correct. They even left mine supercharging in a SC stall to pick up.

They don't to my knowledge. The handshake between charger (car) and supply (charge station or SC) doesn't exchange VIN or title status but Tesla can change anyone's Tesla software to not be able to SC when plugged into a SC station.

Article yesterday about owners suing Tesla for reducing range (OTA change) using the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. See Tesla owners sue over impact of software update on EV batteries If they succeed it would be precedent to stop Tesla from OTA changes to owner's cars to remove ability to SC...

Good discussion but the 5th point I made regarding Tesla blocking sc physically is the weakest. My strongest point I believe is teslas intrusion into an owners vehicle to make modifications that suits them without owner permission should be found illegal - and I believe that would be found...

Your post is irrelevant and moot. Anyone private party car sale can be as you described and at the same time Tesla isn’t even the one buying it. Whataboutism is a tired argument

I paid for sc reenable and it was near 1k plus the time and hassle of 2 separate appointments. Why should I have had to pay Tesla to inspect it when the state of ca already certified and registered the vehicle? Problem solved when you don’t have to pay for it. Right?

Tesla has many issues with their disabling of sc and a Tesla safety inspection to reinstate it. I’ve argued this many times before in different posts… 1. Tesla doesn’t have the legal authority to certify compliance to any revived salvage vehicle to any requirement. The state does that. In ca...

I think complaining to nhtsa is moot. FSD does not exist. FSDb exists but that is not the purchased feature.

I just got 2022.45.13 on 21 Y. Haven’t tried it. I did lose supercharging though. Had it taken away couple years ago when I fixed it up salvaged, then for the last 4 months or so it had been reenabled, though I only needed to sc once. After this update sc removed. One can tell because trip...

I wish people would refer to it as FSDb or FSD beta or just beta.

“Last I heard” reminds me of the story peddled by Fox News and eventually politicians about wokeness or something and kids pretending to be cats at school and urinating or dedicating in cat litter in the classroom. The story was completely fabricated by someone else prior as an experiment and it...

It's no like me but especially not like other drivers on the road near my car and that's the reason I stopped using it. I always hit the accelerator to move it along and at stop signs it hogs the entire lane preventing other cars pulling up next to me to turn right - so I just quit. Lane keep...

I should clarify this is in regard to version 10.69.25.1 (FSD beta). I frequently use autopilot (lane keep and ACC) on the highway and even on streets but to navigate somewhere on non-highway streets and use FSD beta - that's the annoyance. I really don't see how anyone thinks it's anything...

Does anyone actually use FSD beta after they've been given it and tested it out a few times? I stopped using it. In the maybe 10 instances I've used it it failed/freaked-out trying to do a U-turn and generally just moves too slow or brakes akwardly causing me anxiety and clearly confusing...

I see safelite charged me/ins-company 500 for "camera calibration" even though the calibration feature is within the vehicle service menu and doesn't require any special tooling except the touch of your finger.

You'll be able to SC until you can't - 1 to 6 months is my guess. You'll know you have it if under "Navigation" you see "Trip Planner". When "Trip Planner" is gone that's when Tesla snuck into your car and disabled your SC ability. You can get it back by passing 2 safety inspections.

Ok, thanks. You wrote FSDb must be requested? Is that still the consensus? I thought it would be outright offered if one has purchased FSD.

So if 40.4.5 is the fsdb and I have 40.4.2 will I miss 40.4.5 if I upgrade to what the car is currently asking for, 20.44.2? I’m ignorant of the software sequencing if it’s logical somehow

I forget where I read it but the CCS1 adapter is a dumb pass-thru connection so the car will still think it's connecting to a supercharger. I'm not sure this will still prevent charging at a SC but we shall see.

I'm guessing that because there are hacks to reenable SC to salvage vehicles Tesla has decided to do the hack themselves but inspect the car first.

I wonder if they get pressure from states they sell cars in to reenable SC. The fact that states will register a branded title vehicle shows compelling desire to put salvage cars into the marketplace and that seems to contradict with what Tesla had done - cutting off SC. So now they're...

That's really interesting. Can you explain what/how the message was? I have a salvage 3 that had a safety inspection and tested it on a SC station last night but it didn't work. I can navigate to a SC station and when doing so I'll get a message that preconditioning is occuring but I don't...

"Pretty sure" is an opinion. You're welcome to it. I'm just pointing out fact that no one but Tesla knows and that my opion, which I think is more believable, is that it's a business decision to get buyers to buy new That doesn't explain why they chose to take that risk, if there even is one...

I don't remember Tesla writing anywhere that the reason they cut SC to salvage cars is due to safety of any sort. Non-Tesla fast DC charge stations seem to not be worried about a salvage vehicle using their stations as there is not protocol to cut that so why is Tesla so concerned as per your...

So to be clear re salvage vehicles that have been cut for SC you’re saying that a SC station with a CCS1 connector plugged in to Tesla’s CCS1-Tesla adapter that’s then plugged into a shame branded vehicle the car will still recognize it as a SC station and yell “Nein!”

FSD doesn’t exist. If you’re talking FSDb then you should clarify and update. FSDb may or may not be similar to FSD when it releases.

If you’re buying a Tesla and don’t know what you’re buying you should at least google what those features do. FSD doesn’t exist so that’s a staring point for you.

Yes, agree. It’s “FSD beta” for sure. I was responding to Jim Perkins above because he’s a bot and I’m stupid enough to respond :)

FSD doesn’t exist. There is only autopilot, FSDb, and FSD capability. I keep having to explain it to non-Tesla people in conversation interested in it and reading reviews and all the reviews about “I have fsd”, etc…

Jim Perkins and Lifemachine are a bot beta code experiment, imo. It’s all word scramble ramblings.

It’s Interesting the things people value. Lane changes on autopilot usually cause me anxiety as the conditions must be perfect for the car to act. But the most anxious issue to me is the follow cruise control and how it allows huge car lengths to develop when traffic speeds up. The car just...

But if retail is 12k and a buyer wants a Tesla with fsd then Yeah, I’m probably gonna hold out and wait another year. Hopefully some value to it will be had by then. Also, it will certainly transfer. I’ve had direct experience with that. Only way it doesn’t is if Tesla as a dealer sells it and...

So I’m curious what premium private party sales are getting on FSD, if any. I have a 3 and a Y and I may be selling one of them. Both have FSD. From what I read here it’s worth next to nothing for some and a lot for others. I know I’m sort of answering my own question but the discussion here is...

To my knowledge Tesla doesn’t do windshields but they get a mobile van to come do it in their parking lot or service center. It’s a specialty skill and it’s generic for all vehicles. Tech at one center confirmed. I think price is agreed upon wt ins companies so they’re all roughly the same. I...
