Supercharge subscription

[vishwa_vasan]

Hey,

I got a used Tesla model x. It had free supercharge subscription. After I changed the ownership to my name It is not available. Tesla has information saying that if it is a private sale the subscription will be transferred. Any help will be appreciated

There are 2 types of free supercharging, one that transfers to a new owner (SC01) and one that does not (SC05) regardless of whether it is a private sale. I have seen a number of people with SC05 advertise their cars as if it would transfer. What is the basis that you believe your car had SC01 free supercharging?

That sucks. Owner transfer of free super charging sjould be issue. I did same. But still free charging.

Owner transfer of free super charging sjould be issue.

I disagree. If the owner has transferred the car to the new buyer, there is nothing the previous owner can do to facilitate or block the free SC transfer. It all depends on the type of SC the car has, which is dependent on the age. It has to be a Tesla from the first few months of 2017 or earlier to have supercharging that will transfer to the new owner. Even then it might not have SC01 supercharging if it had ever been traded back to Tesla.

SC01 ended in Jan 2017 so if ur car is older it most def had SC05
Only way to keep SC05 is for seller to give up their Tesla account so the VIN never 'transfers'
Some sellers for sure mis-advertise SC05 to unsuspecting buyers to get more value for their car

Pretty sure it will be changed to SC05 (if u had SC01)... (won't matter for current owner but will for resale)

I think my 6/17 already sc05, however unless transferred fsd and unlimited connectivity also, I would not consider.
