Yes, I've spent many hours reading on this forum about FUSC and am comfortable with what I have to do to confirm its on the car at the moment... and to make sure it gets transferred. I understand the radar, camera, computer aspect stays with the car. That's pretty obvious. I thought I had...

Wow! And on the summer/winter solstice it gets a side of fries. Can it possibly be made more confusing for beginners? :D So... it goes with the car, not initial owner? Or... does it have the option of being transferred like I'm now learning that the FUSC can be pulled out from under me...

I've been looking at late 2016 - early 2017 MS P100D. I've been looking at used dealer lots and commonly see screens like: I'm assuming this just means it has the hardware capabilities necessary. That there is another designation if the owner actually paid for the $10K option. Does that...

Meaning... no S will have it in the future even if you are the original owner and paid for it???

Yes, already accepted my overzealous negativity on that aspect. No more lashings at the stake are required. 2016.11 MS P100D - I see you have the car/year I'm looking. Did you get it new or used? If used, did you get the SC01 successfully transferred? FSD???

Excellent point. Is there any sure way - car's screen, service mode on the screen, crawling under the car, calling Tesla (is that even possible) to determine if the battery is original, a Tesla replacement, or a third party replacement? And yes, I have gone down a dark path. But I don't...

I guess you haven't read as thoroughly as I have. There was at least one post indicating that Tesla will first charge you the $15k to $21K for the replacement, but will deny accepting the core charge on the messed-with pack. And that is an additional $20K. Now... considering there was much...

Two ways it will make sense... (1) It has already been tampered before I purchase it (and can't tell) by one of the many people 057 mentioned that FUBAR'd them. (2) If I were to need a fix and use a reputable such as Recel and later have troubles... and needed to take it to Tesla, they'd then...

OK... I've put in about twelve hours of reading and am quite bleary eye'd using just "029" as a search as I found that some just call it u029. Haven't even gone through half of the threads and not even glanced at u018 threads. I think I've read more to scare me off a used Tesla and a new S is...

Used my quota. :cool: Can't see how I can get what I want under the $25K, so now I won't fret about leaving $4K on the table. Thanks for the peace of mind!

...I'm using it now. I believe if you do a trade-in for a car at a dealer, you are only charged taxes for the difference in the two vehicles. With that in mind, what is the price of the purchased car? I know that sounds a little obscure, or obvious, but I'm talking from a federal tax...

I hear you... I got the impression that these older cars didn't charge that fast... I was kind of expecting at least an hour. I hate to admit it, but I did have an early Leased Nissan Leaf.... and I'm glad it was a lease. I liked the EV aspect and charging at home, but 15% range loss in 32K...

I've searched a few times on the forum and I apologize if I just used the wrong key words, but I'm not finding much on this subject. I've been studying Model S issues for about 60 hours worth now in preparation of purchasing a late 2016 - early 2017 P100D. One issue that stands out was sudden...

I understand, but I just have a different perspective... I'm not comparing FUSC to having to pay for SC, I'm comparing paying back the purchase price with what I'd not be paying now. Where my current fill-ups cost $100++ and will only get higher in the decades to come that I expect drive the...

Good to hear. My only time I've been in a Tesla was one of the "Touchless Test Drives" in a new S. I was so blown away by the strait-line-performance and FSD I really didn't get back to reality to evaluate things like fit, finish and rattles. Many of what I've read and watched (YT) state the...

That's a good point. However, I'm thinking more long term and I'm looking in the $20K-$40K range of car being 2016-April 2017 P100D. If we get the two Superchargers in our area like the map suggests, I may use them strictly... saving $2000/year compared to my current vehicle (at today's...

Thank you. After reading the entire thread, I don't have near the incentive (or negativity) of some members about Tesla's policies on the subject. No other manufacturer could or would ever offer such a deal! I am a big Musk fanboy! No other human on this Earth has ever done more... positive...

So, if I understand correctly... @DerbyDave's bought his car new June 28th, 2020 and either (1) was able to transfer a FUSC from his older trade-in that had it or (2) Tesla was doing some (for the first owner only) FUSC at that time. Either way... a used post 4/1/17 vehicle would certainly be...

I've read the full thread and thank you all for clearing up what I have to do to hopefully find a car that might successfully transfer SC01 FUSC. It almost sounds like a crapshoot, but at least I can improve the odds. @DerbyDave, I've only been researching Model S's for about a week now and...

I'm looking to buy a used Tesla and have joined the forum to learn from the member's current postings. I also want to ask questions that Google searches return either no hits or ten-million hits that aren't technical enough to answer what I need. I'm guessing from the depth and breath of this...
