I don’t think you can trust what a local Tesla service center tells you about the car. There have been numerous instances reported in this forum where people reported asking Tesla whether a car they bought or were going to buy had supercharger charging enabled and was told yes by the service center and then later it turned out the cars had no supercharger capability because the vehicles had been classified as salvage cars and the supercharging capability had been disabled. Most service center people just tend to think that all model S cars (other than the few 40kWh versions that were sold) have supercharger capability unless their computer database says otherwise. They don’t think about the car having a salvage title.
It’s even been reported at least once that a person bought a salvage car in which supercharging capability was enabled and when the person took the car to Tesla for service, the salvage title was discovered and the supercharger capability was deactivated. It sometimes takes months for the salvage title to “catch up” to the car.
Sometimes it is pure error. Sometime it takes time for Tesla to learn of the salvage title.
You were unsuccessful in getting the car to supercharge. There is also a discrepancy with the battery size according to the VIN and the MCU. Unless the dealer can prove otherwise, I recommend you assume the vehicle is a salvage title car that someone installed with a larger battery but that the car has no supercharger capabilit
Ask the dealer if he is willing to guarantee IN WRITING that the vehicle has NO salvage title, has an 85kWh battery and has supercharging enabled, and that he will refund all your money should one of these conditions be false. If he refuses, you have your answer and should run away from the car.
