transferring ownership from Hertz can take time.
this leaves the car stuck in Chill driving mode (which restricts power, acceleration, and top speed) and places some car settings outside of the new owner’s level of access.
You also won’t be able to use Tesla Superchargers while the car still shows up as belonging to Hertz.
What the fuck.
I wonder what it means, do you have your car unusable for a week or 3 months once you buy it?
In the unlikely event that I buy a Tesla I’ll make sure to unplug the GSM modem and wipe the OS and install some open source Tesla OS (If that even exists?).
Back when I bought mine (2018) they were pretty much the best in the business for EVs. There really weren’t other options and Elon wasn’t flirting with nazis. Now? Buy something else (or at very least don’t buy a new tesla or used from tesla). Hundai’s iconiqs look quiet nice.
Good luck getting ahold of the right person at Tesla in the first week, or getting them to do anything. Tesla’s phone support is the only thing worse than Tesla’s service centers.
Yeah. You need Tesla’s permission to transfer the vehicle. Just a reminder that everything about these $40k+ vehicles are dependent on Tesla’s servers still functioning, which is very much not guaranteed. If there’s ever even any doubt, your vehicle could depreciate enormously.

Apparently it can be resolved in a couple days when you directly contact Tesla.

I was looking for jailbreaking info and only found out you can hack them to turn back on the features someone already paid for but Tesla took away.

People are being clowned hard by this company and some of them are loving it.

July 16th, 2016. That’s when the mask came off and the work place became more then just disgruntled workers.

It literally say in the quote you copied what is restricted. You can still drive it, but there’s limits until it’s transferred.
Not having access to Tesla chargers
Doesn’t mean you can’t charge it. You can use home chargers, or other charging networks such as Electrify America or ChargePoint.
