New Tesla Owner - Salvaged MY

[GusMY]

Hello to all,
Just purchased my first Tesla, and it’s salvaged
I know everyone will bash me for getting a salvaged Tesla but that’s just me. I get my hands on what I can afford/fix.

Loving the autopilot and the car itself, supercharging sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. :/

What’d you give for it?

What’d you give for it?

$32k here in California, with about 20k miles

Shoot that’s half price practically! I’d check if it supports CCS charging and enjoy!

I had to go to the garage and check, it does have CCS adapter support enabled.
Good to know I got a good deal on it and will be able to sell it afterwards.
I had the pictures of the damage before it was fixed and it was minor, but due to the damage being on the quarter panel it was salvaged.

Congrats. If you are having some supercharging issues there are some tips in the salvage community user group. I highly recommend scheduled charging at home daily to 80-90% (super off peak midnight) with a tesla wall charger if you live in CA. Cheaper than SC rates.

CCS adapter may be of use.

If you have CCS enabled definitely another option. I didn’t have it on my car. Was contemplating adding option but only if SC was not an option.

That sounds like a good score for you! Nice

Welcome! Let us know if you find a decently priced CCS adapter!

@Luckyashman A salvage group in this forum of the FaceBook group? I skimmed this forum and didn't see a salvage group. Or I'm blind.

Someone once said you can have too much free time or too much free money, but never both. I'm in the free time camp, and thinking of buying a salvage car and fixing it up for my own enjoyment. I've read horror stories about Tesla not being salvage car friendly, but they seem to be rather...
