TLDR: Is there a way I can validate the warranty status (as well as eligibility for warranty extension) and initial options purchased with a vehicle, through an official Tesla channel? Using VIN somehow?
Looking to buy a used S, non-CPO route. Some private party sellers and a lot of used car dealers seem to know very little about the cars, and in particular they just 'assume' that the vehicle has the factory bumper to bumper warranty, or is eligible for an extended warranty. This is a pretty hard criteria for me and it makes me uneasy getting shaky answers from sellers and dealers. Is there a way I can validate the warranty status and initial options purchased with a vehicle, through an official Tesla channel?
Also, if the warranty is on the VEHICLE, is it safe to assume that it will transfer to the next owner? Are there any situations where the warranty wont transfer?
Thanks in advance!
