Hi all!
I have a question and wondered if any of you seasoned Tesla owners might have some answers. I'm buying a used 2018 Model X 100D in a private party sale on Saturday. The owner currently has Lifetime Connectivity and Lifetime Supercharging. I've heard mixed messages on whether the Supercharging confers in a private party sale (100% doesn't confer through a dealership). So, my first question is: *does anyone know FOR A FACT that it does*?
Second, the owner told me he read that if he adds me as a driver to his Tesla account rather than transferring ownership in the app, the features should stay with the vehicle since he's never technically removed it from his ownership. Has anyone heard of that working?
Third, what do I have to lose to try?
From my limited, noob perspective, I'll have a Bill of Sale and Title—so I can always prove ownership to Tesla later. We live four states away from each other and he's a urologist, so I doubt he'll take a road trip to steal the car or my loose change. If the features get removed once I register the vehicle with the DMV, then I can just claim ownership in the app.
Am I missing something? Any help would be much appreciated.
