Hello all.
I have a salvage repaired Model S 85 from Hong Kong, that I am in the process of shipping into the UK.
I will handle all the paper work of importing, taxing, and everything to make it road legal and fit for purpose. It was previously written off by the insurance company in HK due to the insane repair costs from official Tesla service centers, and for whatever reason, Teslas (and I think all EVs) that have been written off by the insurance company can not be re-registered in HK.
So I've decided to ship the car to the UK. Once registered, I will be looking to sell it, so maybe I thought I'd get a head start and see if I can find some interested parties.
As it is an HK car, it has identical spec to UK. So of course it is RHD, has a 3-phase EU style charging port. It's a 'classic' S85, so no AP, and RWD only. The range is about 250Miles, but it has not been 'calibrated' in some months as I haven't had an opportunity to drive it on the road, to cycle and balance the batteries. I will report back more accurate range once it's on the road. Because the charge ports are the same, it will be able to use UK/EU superchargers fine. The car has not been 'blacklisted' so will still receive updates, and can still hook into the phone app.
I'm not asking for any down payments or anything like that. Just looking to see if I can find some interested people before it reaches the UK. I think it should be road legal by end of April or maybe May.
As the car is a salvage repair, AND out of region, there is no more warranty provided by Tesla. As such, I will would be willing to provide some warranty on the car (drive train and non wear & tear items for... 6 months say). Happy to put that into writing. You can also get the car checked out if you want.
If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me.
