Long story, short version:
Friend of a friend has imported a 2016 model S to the UK which I believe was originally purchased in Hong Kong, or elsewhere in Asia. The 3G data services don't work on the vehicle, in the UK.
They have tried asking local Tesla centre to rectify this, and on first request they appear unwilling to assist.
Some googling suggests that sim replacement on the S is a full screen MCU removal rather than an easily access owner job
Does anyone have any advice as to how to get the sim swapped? Is this for some competent 3rd party UK company to do, or should Tesla actually be pressed and will do this at a cost?
If this is actually a US car ( I have asked but am waiting for info on original sale location) is it even replaceable?
Any advice much appreciated.
