An MCU replaced in 2020 would not be able to leak like I see in your pictures. Was that done under warranty? I'm guessing it was the eMMC fix and not an MCU replacement, right?

Have you owned it long enough for it to be eligible for the used car tax credit? If you owned it prior to August 2022, you should use an online broker to give a buyer the potential $4000 tax credit.

Interesting question! It was work done under warranty, with the Service Record (and tech at the time) indicating MCU replacement.

I’m honestly not familiar enough with the intricacies to be able to speak to the difference between an eMMC fix and full MCU replacement, so you’ve given me something to investigate - thanks!

Also, appreciate the suggestion of using a broker. I’ve owned the car more than long enough for it to qualify. If you have any broker suggestions, please send them my way, because the tax credit would make this an even better deal.

keysavvy.com is super easy. They act as a middleman and, for 2024, instantly credit the qualified buyer the 30% up to $4000. There are others but I only personally know of that one.

Yes I’ve read about keysavvy and hope other private sellers will sign up for their service. It looks like it’s a cost of 79 to each buyer and seller but it saves the buyer 4,000 if seller qualifies for tax credit

Keysavvy looks like a good way to go.

To OP,

The first picture at very top of the listing-when was that picture taken?

 

[TheOdinson]

Thanks all for the KeySavvy recommendation - getting that setup now. Seems like a no-brainer.

@NoeNx2Nuting - all profile pics were taken this past Sunday, March 31.

The picture shows registration sticker May 2019. That's odd.!

Good eye!
Yeah, that’s my fault - I took a remote role right before Covid hit and our third kid came home.
I missed the registration-by-mail window, and then couldn’t physically go up there.
We primarily use our ICE suv now due to space needs, so I never got around to putting a new sticker on it. (Yes, it’s awful, and I totally own that.)
That said, I did contact the DMV and was told the registration won’t be an issue for selling. Backdated fees only apply to me.

 

[TheOdinson]

I set up KeySavvy as the preferred method of sale.
This will add an additional layer of protection for the buyer, assist with title transfer, and the used EV credit. They can even provide temp plates as needed! Their fee for the buyer is only $79.

It says the vehicle has a loan? on KeySavvy? Is that accurate?

Yes, I have a small amount left on the loan.

How much is left on the loan? What would be required for FUSC to transfer to new owner?

I’d have to look at my statement, but I believe it’s ~$2k.
From what I understand, FUSC will follow the car, so it should be inherited from owner to owner. When I purchased it, I simply downloaded the app and linked this car after ownership was transferred. No phone calls to Tesla or other effort was needed at the time - it was a surprisingly easy process.

 

[thedown1]

can you do a battery test on it?
I may be interested.

Sure - it’ll be later this afternoon, but I’ll follow up with you.
