Hello TMC Friends,
Looks like I'll be returning to the Tesla ownership after a break of 3 odd years. Made an impulse buy today on a "Unicorn" 2016.5 P100D - Please go ahead and roast me and tell me how stupid it was to buy an 8 year old car with no battery or motor warranty. OR, encourage me and tell me that I'll be OK?
At the very least, please help me get some answers:
Car specs:
- 2016.5 Multi Coat Red Model S P100D
- 1 owner - trade in to a dealership from a doctor
- 17,333 miles
- Price: ~$41K
- Full Self Driving: Included Package
- Free Unlimited Premium Connectivity
- Free Unlimited Supercharging
- I bought it out of town, so could not take to Tesla, but, the charging screen shows $0.00 and even the old EV-CPO code look up shows SC01. The car has 1 owner. So never traded into Tesla.
- MCU2 upgrade (Intel Atom processor)
- Cold Weather Package
- Ventilated Tan Seats
How bad or good did I do?
Now for some additional questions:
1. Other than some Tesla service center confirming SC01, and not being able to go to the Supercharging station, do you guys have any ideas on how I can confirm this? Does anyone have any Tesla Rangers contacts that can look up the codes for me? Would you please DM me?
2. Similar question about FSD not being stripped of the car after the ownership transfers?
3. Speaking of FSD it's possible that the car has HW2.5. Is HW3 still a complimentary upgrade from Tesla if I have FSD? And will they upgrade without any warranty?
4. This is a dealer. I don't think they have registered the car in their Tesla app, can someone share the careful/safest method to get the car transferred to me without losing any features the car has?
Thank you for all your time and help. The plan was to buy a Plaid in about 1.5 years or so for around $50K, but this seemed like a good deal. How badly did I mess up? I figured since the car is still pumping around 298 miles at 100% charge, I could keep the car for a while and see what Tesla promos would be in the future having FSD and FUSC and even Premium Connectivity on the car...
Note: The car is not in the same town as me.
