    This isn’t a Tesla problem:

    “the car is currently unsupported for supercharging and warranties are voided due to salvaged vehicle.”

    “I was told it was clean. The CARFAX said it was clean, and I trusted that,” he said.

    Tesla said it’s a safety issue connecting a damaged vehicle to the powerful superchargers.

    The vehicle was deemed totaled and sold to him as a normal used vehicle. I want to know what the title says, salvage or no? Not sure where he should direct his ire or legal firepower, if he has any.

      Nope, that’s still a Tesla problem. They’re mumbling about safety as an excuse to avoid sending electricity down a plug. It’s not trivial… but it’s not exactly cryptic.

      Carfax is not the authority on title status. They only get what’s reported to them.

      Spend a few bucks and do a title search with the state.
