hey guys, not a Tesla driver yet or should I say driver and passenger lol but very interested in getting an ev.
first, would anyone here give me thoughts and opinions on a couple Tesla 3s that were at copart here in Houston past few weeks. One has front end damage (which is normally not what you want in an ICE vehicle) , looks like the bumper and headlight possibly some suspension stuff and has a buy it now for 20k. I don’t have the link right now but if they are still there just search copart Houston location telsa. There were a few of them. Basically I am still not clear on what the deal is with regards to :
*if a car has been salvaged , does that means Tesla no longer honors the battery warranty?
*is a salvage 3 worth 20K with about as many miles (assuming the battery is good)?
*how can one tell if the battery is still good at an auction site?
I saw yet another video today of Tesla swapped batteries into an ICE vehicle and I wanted to ask it seems all or most of the swaps are Tesla , at the least the ones on you tube, if anyone knows if going with Tesla batteries Is the way to go on a conversion or what’s the deal as far as cost, range and performance versus other makers batteries in terms of doing a conversion.
Thanks
