So here is my story....
I purchased a salvage model S last year on Copart. Car had no body damage save for rear bumper cover being ripped off. It had been driven through a flash flood and insurance decided to write it off as they were unsure if there could be long term problems with it. Note, the car didn't even stop in the water and no water entered the cabin. I managed to track down the original owner and he told me the whole story. So I fixed the car and have now driven it over 6000 km without an error.
I even had ownership transferred to my Tesla account and it gets updates etc. I also had Tesla do a remote diagnostic which i needed for the salvage inspection and there were no issues. I have a letter from Tesla to prove it. So initially it was supercharging perfectly but recently has been cut off by Tesla.
So now, I'm a little bit upset to say the least and am looking for help to get supercharging restored. My take is that Tesla is concerned about safety, and they fully know that if a car is unsafe, it simply will not supercharge. It's a computer on wheels and has enough redundancy in its systems to truly determine if there are issues with its high voltage charging system. The supercharging was part of the initial car price and in my opinion Tesla should not be allowed to disable this feature. I don't use supercharging on a daily basis as i have a Tesla charger at home and just want to have the ability to supercharge when needed if i go on a long trip.
My argument also is if the original owner had never made an insurance claim, the car would have a clean title and the car would still be supercharging. Remember there was no actual bodywork involved.
So I'm looking for help to either root the car or some other way to enable supercharging again. I have researched the subject on all the usual forums and have reached out to the usual people, but everyone is silent.
Obviously there is a market for these services and I'm willing to pay someone to re-enable or to develop a system to do it.
If Mr Musk truly cared about the environment, he wouldn't want many perfectly good Tesla's to go to the landfill. This is nothing more than a power struggle and has nothing to do with safety. I absolutely love the cars and also have a model 3 which I purchased new.
