Yes, you probably won’t be able to set up the app
Also, once everything shakes out and Tesla eventually become aware, you may lose free supercharging. Above board is the best policy - you don’t want to be left stranded if you can’t supercharge
If you can find the owner, try that route first

Free Supercharging should stay with the car with the change in ownership. (Only cars that are sold back to Tesla have free Supercharging removed.) I sold my free Supercharging Model S to a friend and we transferred ownership and he still has the free Supercharging.
It's really best to reset the owner and claim the car with your own app login. The app has lots of useful information and control of the car. (You don't want to have to old owner controlling your car.)

Except for making service appointments, getting supercharging notifications, get Sentry Mode alarm events, etc.
@MiamiTezlaUber: The previous owner can transfer the car to you in the app. If you can't get them to do that, Tesla can do it for you. Since it's a 2014, free supercharging will transfer to you regardless of what happens to the account, so you should get this resolved.
Thank you!!!!Except for making service appointments, getting supercharging notifications, get Sentry Mode alarm events, etc.

The only way that Tesla can strip the supercharging from the car is if they legally have ownership.
Protect yourself with proof: Take pictures of all the option screens like the charging screen and the info screen. Create an account for yourself on the app, claim the car, and as soon as it is actually showing in your app, open the "specs and warranty" at the bottom and screenshot everything.
The supercharging SHOULD remain with the car, based on the age. The ONLY WAY that it wouldn't, is if it was TRADED TO TESLA and they took ownership before selling it on - ask the dealership for their history, which auction did it come from and who submitted it.... OR the previous owner's info for the app transfer if they will give you that. (they probably won't)
