FYI: Carl (Edmond) has been banned, so he isn't able to get PM's. He asked that I post his email because he still has parts available: [email protected]

Just drop him an email with what you are looking for.

Dumb question, What's the deal with buying these parts? Are their cars having issues, saving the parts for later just in case?
Fixing a salvaged car? What's going on?

Some of us have Tesla's with salvage titles, which are "dead to Tesla" in all respects. This is often the only way to get necessary parts for repairs, as Tesla will not sell you jack with a salvage title, unless you pony up some serious cash to go through their validation process (I was quoted 8k, others have had lower numbers)

I'm fixing a SALVAGE TITLE, Tesla wants $1,200 to inspect to make sure it's up to their requirements before they will sell you parts or turn your Super Charging back on. If they need frame work it $1,600 plus labor and then you have to pay inspection all over. They control their cars .
All I need is a center radiator. The car runs great and everything is solid.

They can't turn off your supercharging if it was on before. Its like selling Tesla to someone, will they turn off features which were already paid for?. Your supercharging might be off from before.

Oh, they definitely have turned off Supercharging on a number of cars I've touched. I will happily turn it back on once I make sure the car's HV system is in good order. I also provide diagnostic support and remote access. My remote access app is better than Tesla's and has more features, inlcuding access to all of the car's data. Tesla is then off the hook as far as liability goes. Parts on the used market have not been a problem. So many cars get parted out because so many people can't get them going again (no diagnostic info).
