I love it when people make assumptions, if you are asking am I upset? The answer is NO life is too short car runs perfectly has only 585 miles on it, I already have a smart charger installed at home. SIMPLE question is how is it that Tesla without totalling a car or issuing a salvage brand can black list a car, and yet sell it as a clean title. I am looking to see if it could be a mistake or is it a common practice that’s all, yes the only thing I care about is the super charging incase I take longer trips, if there is a well there is a way.

No, I’m asking why you bought a car that by your own account specifically said it had no warranty or supercharging capability and now seem to want both of those things back and are surprised that Tesla is saying no.
Please read my previous post in response to what you said. Also auctions announce all kinds of bs they sell salvage as clean and vice versa. I don’t want anything that the car is not covered for but within guidelines that’s all. I was reading that some people can root the car and they can enable charging and fsd if mine isn’t covered by warranty as per Tesla and ur assumption then I can take that route. Tesla says car is salvaged but state says it’s clean title if you were me whose authority would you accept.

As far as the warranty and supercharging goes Tesla is the only authority that matters.
Tesla owned the car and something happened to it. Rather than fix it themselves and sell it directly, it appears they chose to dump it on an auction house and revoked the warranty and supercharging. The auction house disclosed this to you prior to bidding and you presumably paid a price for the car that accounted for those shortcomings.
Pretty cut and dry. Your warranty was not “voided” as your thread title suggests. You never had a warranty to be voided in the first place, and the auction house disclosed this before you placed a bid.
Tesla is a young company that has grown very quickly. They don't really have long standing policies like you might think. Trying to find some pattern in how they handle such things (or some history) is an exercise in futility.
Most of this stuff is made up on the fly. As long as the outcome for you is reasonable that is all that matters. Trying to find meaning to their actions is like trying to find meaning in the universe. It is not something for mere mortals to even contemplate.
The buying (and service at times) experience is sometimes absolutely horrible and yet the cars are great so we pick what we want.

Thanks for the replies the last two replies were more geared to my question I appreciate that. If anyone knows someone In southern Cali who can help me with enabling supercharging pls let me know
Hello @LayZ if you are reading this pls pm me as I can’t pm u I would appreciate it, I can’t pm so anyone would be kind enough to msg him to DM me
I totally agree with what you are saying and I appreciate you taking that position without being mean. When I get my clean title from Cali I will talk to Tesla and see what they say. Cali is very strict about total loss and salvage they bring the state of Cali have rules that must be followed in order to void warranty
I appreciate the response. Seems like you have it out for me jk. Tesla makes very good cars but they can’t make their state titiling rules we shall see
I know in California the state rules say they have to brand the title within a certain number of days when it is declared a total loss, but it sounds like none of this happened in California, so those rules wouldn't come in to play:
The question would be what are the rules in Arizona about what has to be done when a vehicle is declared a total loss by insurance. (Or maybe Idaho, but probably not since it was never titled there.)
I suspect this is the clause in the warranty that Tesla used:
Tesla probably self-insures, so when the vehicle was damaged they declared it a total loss and sold it at auction with the warranty voided.
No, you are the second registered owner. (You can only be the first own if you get the certificate of manufacture, and register using that.) In this case Tesla was the first owner, since they titled it. (Maybe they used that to claim the federal tax credit?)
They don't normally title demo vehicles, because then they can't be sold as new.
I totally agree with you, most of what you are saying is 100% accurate about different states. The law is also clear that any car that has been declared total loss must be reported to NMVTIS as junk total loss or branded none of that happened if I m not mistaken it’s a federal agency and they are required to be notified. Again I am not sure.
I don't think that is true in all states. A lot of times vehicles are totaled not because of the damage or cost to repair, but because of the time it would take to get the needed parts, and the cost of the rental car during the wait. From what I have seen, often in those cases the title does not get branded. (At least outside of California.)
But I think that depends if self-insuring falls under the definition of being an Insurance Carrier: "An individual or entity engaged in the business of underwriting automobile insurance." I would think not, because you aren't underwriting automobile insurance, you are just paying for our own loses, no underwriting involved.
Yep, Tesla isn't required to report to NVMTIS is they self-insure: Frequently Asked Questions
That’s a very insightful analysis and it seems very logical. I don’t even know if I should bother talking to them
It seems a warranty is out of the question, but if supercharging is something you want, it surely wouldn't hurt to stop by a few service centers and see what they say.
Just have tesla do the hv and supercharger inspections. It’s cheap. No reason not to.
I think there are two different inspection I don’t know the cost if anyone knows pls let me know thanks
If they prominently said up front before you bid or bought that it has "no Supercharging and no manufacturer warranty", then it does not look like they were trying to deceive.
If you consider ~$1,200 for the two required inspections "cheap".
