Note: did have a look but couldn't find a consolidated statement on 'best practice' steps and guidance should anyone ever look to trade-in their old Tesla for a new one.
If anyone has any consolidated steps/recommendations for how to ensure that any profile, personal or billing data is removed from the vehicle/accounts and how best to go about it.
1. Tesla Account has my billing details attached
2. Tesla In Car Profile
3. Any Spotify/Tidal/Web Service/Youtube credentials saved within the car
4. Tesla Keycards
5. Mobile Phone 'Key'
What would a factory reset 'clear' from the above? i.e. items 2 and 3 and 5 wiped from the car.
- Would the Keycards remain functioning, so that 'at home' i can reset the car, and still drive the vehicle to service centre for the trade-in.
What are the best steps to ensure that the original Tesla vehicle, on your Tesla Account, does not still charge your credit/debit card details for any charging/subscriptions - but that you still retain the billing details for the newer vehicle?
- Is it a case where Tesla in the 'back-end' deal with this, or are there specific steps you as the owner need to take i.e. "remove all details / add back details" ?
Figure this is/may become an activity that many go through over the years to come, so may be useful to others.
Much appreciated on the input.
