The question is how do you get a Tesla to report itself to the supercharger as a non-Tesla? I presume if the supercharger station identifies you as a Tesla it'll go back to using a supercharger protocol, instead of a CCS protocol.I didn’t realise the super chargers that non Tesla vehicles are using go through a different protocol! Does that mean a salvage Tesla can supercharge on a Tesla Supercharger that has been opened up to all vehicles? Has anyone tried this?
You tell the app to activate certain SC post for charging a non-Tesla car. But the car must be connected prior to asking the app. My car can’t SC anyway, so I’ll try after getting an error.The question is how do you get a Tesla to report itself to the supercharger as a non-Tesla?

The other assumption is your car doesn't have CCS charging disabled on the car side (apparently older Model S/X may have all DC charging disabled on car side).
If you hear of someone who can make a 3 supercharge again, I’m interested.i doubt Tesla will ever change their stance on Salvage, multiple ppl have tried to no avail...
but honestly, as long as there're hackers that can unlock DC charging n lock Tesla out, that's all we need
hope Tesla will never find out how its done!
salvage cars lose warranty anyways so i don't see much need for Tesla, just need more ppl/shops get familiar n work on these cars
might start something myself since i like to do it as a hobby already
Same. 2020 M3P here and keen to use SC network again. When I got the car back on the road in January I was supercharging al the time with no issues, until end of August when it suddenly got disabled. I still don’t know what triggered it. Does anyone have details on exactly how it gets disabled? Is there a team that go through and make sure any salvaged cars have had their SC disabled? Could it have been due to a recent software update I installed? Could it be because I only did a reset of my centre screen (two steering buttons held down) for the first time ever in August? I’d love to know what triggered it to be disabled.If you hear of someone who can make a 3 supercharge again, I’m interested.
will keep an eye out but my guess is no loophole found to get into gateway...If you hear of someone who can make a 3 supercharge again, I’m interested.
Tesla reconciles their 'blacklisted' database regularly with something like Carfax, information on salvage status is widely available.Same. 2020 M3P here and keen to use SC network again.

CCS1 or CCS2? I’m based in UK so have always used CCS2 anyway, and I’m blocked from using SC via a CCS2 connector (haven’t tried the other connector that comes on SC chargers, assume it’s CCS1? How does it differ?)will keep an eye out but my guess is no loophole found to get into gateway...

Its just a matter of time till they disable it, some ppl get to use SC longer some don't. Its nothing u did.
Why not just get CCS working? For model 3 it should be
sorry CCS1, i'm talking about US carsCCS1 or CCS2? I’m based in UK so have always used CCS2 anyway, and I’m blocked from using SC via a CCS2 connector (haven’t tried the other connector that comes on SC chargers, assume it’s CCS1? How does it differ?)
Is there something I’m missing?
Schedule with Tesla to get the HV and Supercharging inspections.Can anyone help?
Model S owner who just bought a car, unknown it was salvage. SC all the way home 300 miles and just got cut off 2 days ago after 3 weeks of charging. Can anyone help?
Am I missing something new? As of 2022 there has never been a supercharging inspection, or a single instance of Tesla re-enabling supercharging on a salvage Model S/X. (3/Y salvage get supercharging, because they pay.)Schedule with Tesla to get the HV and Supercharging inspections.
It won't hurt to contact Tesla though the app as @MP3Mike suggests. I've heard from somewhere here at TMC, it is new and you can do this.Am I missing something new?
Yes. Many people have had Supercharging re-enabled on their salvage Model S/3 since the change. Rumor is that they don't offer it for the Model X yet.Did Tesla change their policy
Near the end of last year they started offering it:Am I missing something new? As of 2022 there has never been a supercharging inspection, or a single instance of Tesla re-enabling supercharging on a salvage Model S/X. (3/Y salvage get supercharging, because they pay.)
Did Tesla change their policy in 2023? If not, then the HV inspection does nothing except permit a service center to work on your vehicle (excludes changing supercharging settings.)
@fangers Sell the car and buy a different one if you want supercharging. If it's salvage then you must unplug the maroon cellular antenna plug from the back of the MCU before you even turn the car on for the first time (and keep it disconnected forever, and never visit a service center). Hopefully no one else turned on the car after the salvage branding, because once it boots up and connects to the Tesla mothership, it's game over.
at least one confirmed case they kept the FUSCWhile they will re-enable it now after passing the somewhat expensive "safety" inspection, they enable it as pay-per-use. Never back to free supercharging, even if the car originally had it. They also disable free premium connectivity and you have to pay for that if you want it, even if the car originally had that included also.
Fluke.at least one confirmed case they kept the FUSC
Tesla starts giving back Supercharger access to salvaged vehicles
I knew this would happen... Awaiting more confirmations before I undo the hacks n go official route, sigh... Curious what were the hacks and if that works, why not just keep it that way?teslamotorsclub.com
Fluke.
I've been directly involved with or otherwise in contact with people having the inspection done on at least 15 cars since they changed the policy to allow supercharging to be re-enabled on salvage cars. None of them have free supercharging anymore.
