Hi Guys,
I have separate thread on here as well for a specific Model S, but the more I learned, the more questions I got . I seem to have the itch to get back into a Model S and am finding some interesting inventory with deals to be made with dealers and a friend with access to Manheim auctions.
I was wondering if you guys can share your best practices, tips and tricks y'all have learned to check, validate what features are included with the car and MOST importantly, the BEST way to make sure the features stay ON after the purchase and ownership is attained from the dealers?
For example, I have a dealer with a car that shows its got FSD and Premium Connectivity on the infotainment screen. However, I don't think the guy ever opened a Tesla account for himself after getting the car from an auction. I ran a VIN check on the car through the ev-cpo site and looks like it even had SC01 (FUSC) on it.
So in this case, what do you guys think would be the steps to verify and RETAIN these features if I buy the car?
Similar question for cars found on Manheim?
I hope my question makes sense and I am sure dozens of people have gone through this scenario on this board. I just couldn't find a central place where this was documented and especially verified to be true recently.
As always, appreciate all the knowledge! Thank you all!
