Moderator note: This post and the 15 posts that follow were moved from a different thread (I want to buy a used S with free supercharging. Should I go Private or Tesla ?).
Cars that have FUSC generally also have free premium data for life. See my previous post (#17, quoted below for convenience) about where your best bet to shop is if these are important to you. Summary: private party cars made before 1/2017.
Tesla sells used, not CPO. They discontinued their CPO program a year ago.What about premium connectivity? Is it included in CPO or private sales?

It's pretty simple: If FUSC is the question the only answer is private party purchase of a car manufactured before 1/2017. Tesla doesn't even have it on used cars and removes it from cars that did have it. They then choose to add it on a case by case basis to cars that aren't selling as an incentive to move them but even in this rare case it's not true FUSC as it will NOT transfer to the next owner or be worth anything in resale. Not really sure why a poll is even necessary as this is a pretty cut and dry topic. Sure there are random and rare outliers to this statement but as a general rule of thumb, that's the most simplistic summary of options. By and large, if FUSC is the question then private party purchase is the solution.
Now, you can get into what it's really worth and if you really need it or other factors but, give this was the topic of the thread, that's the answer. Pretty simple. No poll necessary. The only reason a person would vote Tesla in this poll is if they're operating from information over a year old. Quite a lot has changed since then and it makes that vote entirely inaccurate in almost every case as it applies to true FUSC.
