I'm looking at purchasing a 2017 Model 3 LR but have several questions so any insight would be greatly appreciated!
1. Are there any major changes between 2017 and newer model years that you'd consider to be a deal breaker? My only experience with Tesla so far has been a 21 Model Y LR with enhanced auto pilot via Turo.
2. It supposedly has FSD per this screenshot. I assume that it either came with it from the factory or the previous owner paid for an upgrade? Would this require a monthly subscription?
3. Supercharging - The dealership is about 600 miles away from me but i'd be looking to pick it up and drive it back home. Would it just be a matter of registering it via the app with a payment method? Can I use it right away after that?
4. Ownership Transfer - Is it possible for the previous owner to have just removed themselves from the account so that it's open to register to the next owner? How long does this usually take? I can't imagine that they transferred ownership to the dealer unless i'm wrong. Is there a way for me to check?
5. Warranty - I assume that this is all transferrable to the next owner. Is there anything i'd need to do other than register it to my name? Anything major I should be concerned about since the "General Coverage" is now expired?
6. Anything else I should look out for? There's about 20k miles on it.
I've owned several vehicles over my lifetime but never a Tesla so it feels a bit intimidating especially when buying it used and not from Tesla themselves.
