Since starting my BMS_u029/018 Facebook Group in Nov 2022, I've talked to a couple hundred 2012-2015 Model S owners worldwide that received either the BMS_u029 or 018 alert. Myself included after I bought my 2012 P85 and got the 029 alert 3 days after purchase when doing Factory reset.While this isn't a 3, 70 and 90 kWh S and X packs were known to get "nerfed" once you passed a certain # of kWh of Supercharging. See 90 and 75 battery packs getting nerfed early???. Unfortunately, some people in there have some unit problems and aren't using the right ones (kW vs. kWh).
I haven't kept up on whether any other Teslas or packs are subject to such nerfing.
Ok! I got some really good info to share. I was able to get my Tesla transferred to me! This only applies if you bought a Tesla from Hertz.
I'll go through what worked and what didn't.
I do believe Hertz had a incentive for Uber drivers for weekly rentals. I'm pretty sure that's how they rack up so many miles in such a short time.
Thanks for this. I'm seriously considering buying one of these for our youngest to go back and forth to school.
The only hiccup was that we then had to do a factory reset before we could add keys (and phones as keys). Also, there is a strange message on the “Add a Key” screen that seems to indicate that Hertz can still control the vehicle if given access. We’re trying to get this removed and will not grant access, obviously, but folks may want to check this on their vehicle. Tesla is investigating.
I tried with my 16 y.o. He claimed the kids would make fun of him and wants a new Civic for ~ this price
Correct. I did a couple of airport runs in Tesla's where the Uber driver said it was on a lease from Hertz.
My #1 reason...you will never know how many drunk/stupid people may have pee'd or barfed in that car.There are lots of reasons why I’d personally never buy a previous rental/rideshare car. Frequent supercharging wouldn’t even crack the top ten.
How long did it take for you? The Tesla rep quoted me ~5 days. I'm trying to be patient but I'm antsy to play with things lolWe just bought one as an extra family car, from an independent dealer but it was a Hertz rental. We also had to contact Tesla to get it transferred over, but they were very helpful and the process was fast.

Same day for us, but we needed to be able to use the supercharger so they escalated it for us.How long did it take for you? The Tesla rep quoted me ~5 days. I'm trying to be patient but I'm antsy to play with things lol
Update on this, mine got update a couple hours after making my post. Mine also shows the Hertz Fleet authorization option.Same day for us, but we needed to be able to use the supercharger so they escalated it for us.
With respect to the Hertz fleet authorization screen, Tesla has told us that the car may have to go in to a service center for them to remove if it doesn’t clear in due course. They did recommend waiting a week or two, to see if it clears before bringing it in. I highly doubt that it will clear without intervention, but it also doesn’t seem to impact anything, so that is what we’re going to do.Update on this, mine got update a couple hours after making my post.
