I have the exact same car (and also bought it from a small dealer 2 years ago who got it from a doctor... crazy to hear these stories)..the orginal sticker price was $167k
Your battery and drive unit should still be under warranty as it has an 8 year unlimited warranty and the 2016 P100D's were built at the end of 2016.
You may need upgraded cameras (free) if the prior owner did not already upgrade to get FSDbeta
v12 FSD is not yet available for our cars
range of 298 is really good - probably due to lack of miles and just time-based degradation
try to get the rear drive unit checked out - it's still under warranty in case there is liquid intrusion already
FUSC will transfer unless the prior owner transferred to a new car they just bought (honestly, I find this possibility very high)
FSD will transfer unless the prior owner transferred this to a new car they just bought (again, given the timing, I find this likely)
The car is wicked awesome. Pretty much faster than anything on the road except a Plaid S. And, you avoid becoming a commoner with the 3
-HW3 is free upgrade (along with the cameras) since it has FSD. not sure at all what happens if the prior owner transferred FSD to a new car
-try chrome deleting on your car, it will look amazing
-transferring ownership to you: just go through the standard approved route as Tesla provides. It doesn't affect whether FUSC/FSD will transfer. (my car was on the dealer's app and he transferred it to me app to app in real time)
Happy to answer other questions
We literally may have the same car, bud! Down to the 19 inch wheels, except the ones on my future car seem are not black or dark... Possibly the one odd thing, especially when I do chrome delete. I also have the tan leather, possibly not black, like yours?
Speaking of chrome delete, what do you think of those kits they sell on Ebay or some the Tesla specific shops? They seem to be somewhere from $160 to sub 200 range. I wonder how good those are over a wrap shop doing it?
About the FUSC, FSD transfer... 2 - 3 thoughts come to mind:
1. He traded the car to a Mercedes dealership, so it's likely that his replacement was a Mercedes.
2. I have a guy that hunts these unicorns and sells them for his business. This gentleman was really kind and had his guy at Tesla confirm the codes like SC01, confirming that it might in fact be a unicorn. My understanding is, if someone takes those features to their new cars, the codes disappear on the car and shouldn't show up in a VIN lookup.
3. Dealership isn't willing to take the car to a Supercharger, but they have allowed me to start the Tesla car transfer, before shipping the car. I'm hoping Tesla approves the car sooner than later and I can confirm options before the car is shipped? If in my account, it should show those features in my app right? BTW you're so lucky the dealership just did the transfer for you! The best way!
So let's see how lucky/unlucky, I am.
I know the warranty should go to the end if this year, but I don't know if Tesla will do an inspection for me, without any issues, unless they come up? Any tips? Am I wrong?
Thank you for your very wonderful post man! So detailed and helpful! I hope I get to own this car with all the possible features that might be on it... Fingers crossed!
P. S. Crazy story with them doctor's huh!?
