HOW I GOT SCAMMED ON A SUPER RARE TESLA MISSING A MAJOR PART

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a cautionary tale of purchasing a Tesla sight unseen, resulting in a significant financial loss for the creator. The "rare" Tesla, advertised as a P85D, was discovered to be a heavily modified 75D lacking a battery, rendering it essentially worthless for its intended purpose. The reviewer details the extensive process of stripping the car for parts, highlighting the complexities of Tesla's engineering, particularly concerning autopilot retrofits and the differences between single and dual-motor configurations. While the purchase was a clear "loss," the video showcases the creator's resourcefulness in salvaging usable components for other projects, emphasizing the challenges and potential pitfalls of the used EV market. The narrative also touches upon Tesla's evolving support policies, as exemplified by a separate anecdote about a Tesla owner being denied charging access for a rebuilt vehicle.
