My vehicle, which has been serviced under warranty and allowed supercharging for the more than 5 years and 200,000 miles that I have owned it, has suddenly been excluded from supercharging (and warranty). I moved to a new state and apparently Tesla has decided it is a salvage vehicle. Working on the legal logistics, hopefully getting that fixed. In the meantime I had a bit of interesting data from the local service team.
The manager at my local service center had heard that they were going to have a salvage title reinstatement policy. Apparently Tesla is working on a Model 3 and model Y salvage title supercharging approval system. They specifically have no plans for the s or the x. Could it be it's because there's a lot of old S and X that would have free supercharging for life, if they reinstated it. On the other hand, why couldn't they just say "yes but you'll have to pay for it"? Maybe it's simply not enough volume to be worth their effort to design a system. Maybe the design of the battery in the 3 and Y is more robust as to accidents. Your guess is as good as mine.
Apparently this program is hopefully going to be implemented around the end of the year. Not much good news for all of the S and X owners who have actual salvage title vehicles.
