I purchased a 1 owner, accident free, Tesla 2016.5 90D with free supercharging & connectivity.
This car is confirmed SC01. I went in to get the MCU2 upgrade at my local Tesla service center, and during the check-in/photo/onboarding process, the topic of "out of warranty issues" popping up after the upgrade came up. We agreed to take pictures of everything working on my car, but then I mentioned unlimited supercharging. The tech LAUGHED at me and said they don't have that anymore. I mentioned my car is a clean SC01 car. He then chuckled and said, "we do not purposely disable these things, but if you check this car in to this shop for service, you are almost guaranteed to have your unlimited super charging removed since you are not the original owner."
THOUGHTS?
I obviously left the service center immediately! Look how clean this VIN comes back... The reason I left is really because it passed through a Ford dealership and it seems like this could be the real problem. If it was only Private Party, maybe it would stick after the upgrade?
How concerned should I be? If I leave the car as is, I should be good right? If I upgrade to MCU2 I'm probably screwed?
