Trying to buy a used model 3 performance

[Nocturnal]

Here is another photo.

The first 2 photos definitely indicate autopilot. The 3rd one looks like maybe the screen is scrolled lower? (I'll check mine later) Is the car local? If so it's super easy to verify in the car during a drive. If the car is not local, then the dealer should list EAP in the sales agreement and if somehow it doesn't then that should protect you.

Tesla does need to provide an easier way to verify this stuff. I would assume it does not have FSD unless they could prove otherwise.

Do they have the moniker sticker or invoice of the sales?

Doesnt sound like you've researched the car too much either :/

Car icon in bottom left corner --> Autopilot from list of settings on left hand side.

Indeed. These are basic questions!

Does your car detail page show FSD? Here is what mine shows...

Sorry, to hijack this but it's kind of related to the OP problem: my detail page does not have the EAP & FSD showing. I purchased both at the same time when they were discounted, and it looks like only proof I have is the credit card charge. The EAP is definitely working but if I have to prove that I've purchased FSD (e.g. for HW3 upgrade) I'll be in trouble. Maybe I need to visit the SC.

Test drive not an option?

That would be conclusive without needing to make paperwork requests.

It's there under your vehicle info.

I've noticed that for a period, there was a discrepancy between what I owned, and what My Tesla account was reflecting. I worked with someone up at corporate who had it addressed on the backend - we had already been working on some other issues involving financing at the time. Opening up tickets with customer service didn't resolve it.

No, it's not. I posted a picture of what I have and EAP & FSD in not there, only Premium Interior. I will contact Tesla to fix this.

At first I thought your picture was of a different screen. That's weird that you don't even have the warranty info etc.!

I’m having trouble verifying that a used model 3 performance that was made last September had some form of autopilot purchased or enabled. I know the hardware exists on the vehicle as it sits, I just need to know how to check on the screens to exactly see what it has. I don’t want to offer more for the vehicle than it’s really worth. Having these features enabled makes a huge difference on value, in my mind. The dealership is not very helpful and has said it has it. Well nothing in their listing shows that. Calling customer service at tesla has been no help. Anyone have any ideas, tips or tricks? I live about 3 hours from the dealership and don’t want to waste a trip.

Best bet is as others have said to have the owner log into his account and under (owners name model 3) there is a “details” page and it will show you what is on the car and the vin number

I have called several offices to try to verify all of them said it does not have autopilot. Tesla really needs to work with people trying to buy used. This has taken way too much time to verify. They still want people to own their cars even if they don’t buy direct from them.

Well, if you go see the car it’s pretty easy to tell.

Why did you cross off the part of the vin thats common to all the cars?

What he said!

I've been trying to get Tesla to correct my Account page since last year. I gave up.

OP: You cannot rely on the Account page as an indication as to what's on the car. I recommend you go see the car in person, it'll be worth the drive.

Indeed. These are basic questions!

I do know the questions to ask. The vehicle is 3 hours away and I don’t want to waste a trip to go look at it. The dealer was no help on the phone and I was getting conflicting answers with sales and service from Tesla.

 

[kcroyaljosh]

Do they have the moniker sticker or invoice of the sales?

Doesn’t show that it does, that’s why I was questioning the dealer over the phone.

It’s not in the dealers name. I do not have access to the original owners name or number. It’s at a dealership in St. Louis and I’m in Kansas City.

To further complicate matters...Tesla can’t tell me how long it would take to transfer ownership. I asked them the question on this, “Would I be able to supercharge in the meantime” no one can tell me that. Who would get the charge on their account? The other question would be how much would I pay for full self driving? No one at Tesla can answer that question either.

The model 3 has EAP, no idea if it has FSD.

You can tell it at least has EAP since it has auto steer and NOA as an option. Non EAP 3's will not have that feature.

I started to do it all then said screw it.

Supercharging would charge to whatever card Tesla has on file, but there probably isn't one.

FSD would cost you 3000 or 3500 I think.

If you have EAP, the cost to upgrade after the fact to FSD is $5K, at least it is for my husband's car. He's an original owner. Not sure if that makes a difference.
