Removing sold car from my account - Carmax

[chrisf60526]

Anyone ever sold to Carmax and if so, how long did it take them to remove the old car from your app? I sold my M3 to Carmax last week and took delivery of a new M3 on Saturday. I can't seem to remove the older car from my app or website. Calling Tesla, as we all know, is tough to get someone on the phone.

Did you try the information that tesla has on their website for instructions for this?

I sold my 2018 M3 in May '22 and replaced with a 2022 M3 the same week. It was easy for me to remove the old vehicle using my Tesla account on their website. I didn't try to remove it using the app. As noted in the Tesla instructions the documentation on my 2018 M3 is in the Previously Owned section of the Tesla account webpage. Did you do a total reset in the car before you gave it to Carmax? Doing that per the Tesla instructions essentially is similar to "reset to factory settings" on a smartphone. It removes access to the car from the Tesla app, removes identifying info, etc.

You reset the car to factory defaults while at CarMax (it will prompt for a password) and remove the car from your app/phone. Took all of a few minutes.
