I took my 2014 P85+ to Tesla in West Palm Beach to reinstate supercharging. (it has a rebuilt title so supercharging had been disabled by Tesla). I’m not throwing shade, because they are chronically understaffed, but it took nearly a week just to do the high voltage tests & certify it for supercharging. The car passed the high-voltage inspection. But it took a further 3 weeks and numerous calls & messages to get the supercharging started.
First of all, they told me that supercharging had been enabled centrally from Tesla in California.
Then they told me the Gen 2 master charger is good for level 2 charging, but that it will need a new charger ($2000) for supercharging to start.
A week later they said the main battery pack developed an “isolation fault,” after it had passed their safety inspection. “Just a coincidence,” they said- “unfortunately, these things happen” in older cars. They told me It wouldn’t supercharge unless they fit a Tesla-certified used battery for $14,000.
I took my car home & did none of all that. There were no errors on the dash initially.
Then a few days later I got the "no regen" message. Then later "car may not start" & "speed & acceleration have been limited".
All messages cleared suddenly after 3 days & the 19th of October, I took it to a supercharging station and it supercharged just fine.
Last week, all the error messages came back... Now what should I do?
I want to sell it, but is it a lemon now??
It still drives fine and charges at home.
