As best I can tell, originally the Extended Service Agreement was available only to the original owner. Tesla then changed policy to permit subsequent owners to purchase the ESA (assuming mileage/time limits met) so long as the car was always bought/sold by private parties - but anytime a dealer took title the car was no longer eligible for an ESA to be purchased by the dealer or by any subsequent private purchaser.
Has that changed? I was looking at purchasing from a private seller who had obtained the car from a dealer - so chain of ownership was Tesla to original owner; original owner to dealer; dealer to second owner; and, potentially, second owner to me. I assumed that the car was no longer eligible for ESA but second owner has a screenshot from MyTesla showing that the car is eligible for ESA.
If this is, in fact, a change, I think it provides a huge benefit to used purchasers as it widens the pool of available cars to those who want an ESA. Of course, all the other caveats about buying from dealers still apply -- but I'd really like to know the answer to this.
Thanks
