Wraith

Shopping for Model S. This one is called a Wraith in the drivers display, but can’t find any info what makes it a wraith? It’s a 2015 V3 P90DL.

I am not sure if model S is the same as model 3 / Y, but on model 3 / Y you can call the car whatever you want to. My own model 3 is named "Sebastian".

I agree, it sounds like you're just looking at the name of the car. So it's a Wraith because that's what the previous owner named it.

Wasn’t the the name changing of the car one section to claim your ownership after purchase?

Probably depends on how you do it but yes Tesla had me change the name of my car to confirm I was the new owner.

If the car still has the previous owner’s name, they didn’t do a factory reset. You should do that to get rid of the previous owner’s data.

Fun fact: when trying to do a factory reset on my wife’s Model 3 before trading it in, I discovered that the keyboard on the touchscreen has no vertical bar character. You have to enter your Tesla account credentials to do a reset, and the account password had a vertical bar, so I couldn’t do the reset. Tesla does the reset for any trade in, so it wasn’t a problem.

The OP is just seeing the custom name of the car like this one:

@CGr00vYY is that "Wraith" in the same position as picture above?

Also in the app it shows the name on the top left corner.

Yes, that makes sense.

Free supercharging still so probably won’t want to do a factory reset. I like the name just thought there might be a code name like raven.

I did a factory reset on my 15 with free supercharging a few months ago when I got it. I think the only thing it really did was require me to submit a service request to get me a new slacker radio account since it stopped working with the previous owners credentials. But there was no charge.

Factory reset won’t remove free supercharging, so no reason not to do it. It may actually improve performance of the MCU by removing navigation destinations and other accumulated data from the previous owner.

Not until they paid you for it though... the value might drop significantly lol
