Hi all,
I'll be purchasing a used Tesla Model S within the month or so. I've got a few questions. I am looking at both Private Party sales (preferred) and dealer. Most that I've seen are from out of state so I plan to fly out and drive it back.
1. Is it advised to "reset" the car so all settings from previous owner(s) are wiped? If so, how do I go about doing this?
2. In the event the previous driver has PIN to drive enabled, how do I ensure that is off before I drive off?
3. Some dealers only show the vehicle with one key, what is the price for a new key/reprogram?
4. Once I purchase, am I able to create a Tesla account and add it with my credit card info for FSD purchase / supercharging visits?
5. If I purchase FSD, how long does it take to add to the vehicle? Do I need to have it connected to Wifi?
6. Can I link ABRP to the Tesla to use that rather than the built in route planner? Or is the built in planner better?
7. Should I be worried about API's if the previous owners had them enabled with various apps or is that reset when I do a full reset?
I'm aware I wont have the FSD Beta when I purchase, just looking on utilizing the NoA feature for the drive home.
Is there anything else I am not thinking about. Thanks in advance!
