Won't have supercharging access until you get it inspected by tesla first

I reckon and i think i would be okay since i have a dryer plug at my house

I am biased against R-Title cars just for the reason that so many I’ve seen have been hacked back together sometimes using parts not even for that vehicle. Does your state require any kind of annual safety inspection or is there a Tesla certified bodyshop nearby you can pay to do a pre-purchase inspection? I would find out who did the repairs, if they’re certified and if they followed Teslas repair information. Now I may be paranoid and this is a perfectly fine/safe car but these are just the questions I’d ask.

So you never plan to leave your city in it?

Well tesla high voltage system inspection is 1k or 2k usd if i am not mistaken. You can get it done anytime you like so you cam consider that sometime later

How much does it cost though???

How much it costs to reactivate supercharger??

I believe like $800. Worth it. a car that can supercharge will be worth greater than $800 more than a car that can’t. Test drive it and try and charge it, maybe the inspection has already been done

 Unless you enjoy headaches I'd avoid it only because you have no idea what you'll be signing yourself up for

It's a $2000 inspection, which if failed, you do not get your money back.

Ehhh I’d tread very carefully bro. Lots of electronics. If everything isn’t 100% factory as it should be, I’d be nervous for sure driving her. And we know how people like to cut corners with auto repairs sometimes, especially if you weren’t there supervising it

Does rebuilt title void the warranty ???

Yes

What if I get the high voltage inspection done? Can I get the warranty back ?

No

The car wants you to reprogram it when you change a headlight, so id weary of this much damage. As for the above supercharger comment, you can absolutely get by with 3rd party charging while out and about, but it'll be 3x the cost of supercharger.

Oh i didn’t even see the headlights. So if the headlights are replaced and if they are not reprogrammed, what appears up there on the screen ? And Regarding third party tesla chargers, I have seen they go maximum upto $0.50/kwh while superchargers are still around $0.35/kwh

Oh shoot

I wouldn’t. Too much risk.

About 1K, they charge for 3-4 hours of labor for the inspection. Also its not guaranteed you will pass, I would try to get the seller to inspect it before you purchase

On the 3rd party chargers. Yep. I took a 10 hr round trip last weekend, $15 at a supercharger vs $25 or $30 at a third party, to charge to 95. With the repairs, thats the thing, nothing shows really on the screen to give you a heads up, you have to put the car in service mode to see why you get certain messages. https://youtube.com/shorts/7ysTHZ8L74g?si=MOSOgdiKs9Ds4kpV I used this kind of video while I was at the dealership, non tesla. I meant that, with these cars, he smallest repairs need some programming, vs with a normal car you pop it in and go. This one needed tail lights and prob 2 doors plus whatever else, the body shops opt to replace the whole door because they say they are fragile

3rd party fast charger will still work if OP just needs fast charging a few times a year.

3rd party network isnt as good.

No way. you can find non rebuilt for a little more money. not worth buying that at all

It looks to be a 2020 or earlier model 3. Those didn’t have CCS support unless retrofitted.

I bought my M3 LR AWD used for 20 out the door in October 2025. 50k miles, and had every upgrade available besides paid FSD. With having to (Most likely) get it inspected before having access to supercharging... you're already not far off.

That's a lot of risk for not much reward.

Honestly. Not even worth the time and effort. Dealing with someone that repaired in the backyard .. These cars are a dime a dozen now. There is nothing special about them, and they are dirt cheap on the preowned market without all that body damage. That unibody shell and aluminum makes things a pain in the ass to repair. Bodywork for that at a tesla approved shop would easily approach $20k+. My friend had a dented rear quarter +1 rear door, and that itself was around $17k Whoever repaired this definitely cut a lot of corners. Its a disposable car. Move on.

They have gotten better but not wrong.

It looked newer based on the trim but maybe. I retrofitted my 2020 3 with CCS and it was cheap and easy.

For this specific generation the fuca needs replacement. Generally speaking i would avoid rebuilt titles or accident tesla unless they have been repaired by tesla and have supercharge access. I trust tesla collision to do the right thing. Third parties not really.

Why not just look for one that wasn’t previously in a crash ? Unless that’s what you want???

Agree with most of the others who have commented on this post. This car is totally not worth the risk for the price they’re asking. If it’s $10k or under maybe, but for a few grand more you can just find a clean car without the tainted history and unknown repairs.

Yeh probably that’s what im thinking too.

Nothing personal with this car, it just has low mileage and even after the damage, the condition of the car is immaculate. But yeh, im definitely not paying 15grand plus taxes and another 2k for high voltage inspection.

Maybe just pose the question to the person selling it whether it will supercharge currently or not.

Heeellll nah, seems like it was trashed before it got into an accident. I wouldn’t buy that in any way shape or form. That is looking at the smoked out lights etc. That is my personal opinion but it’s one (I work a lot on cars, that’s my personal experience with these cars).

Don’t do this to yourself

Gotcha

So they would have definitely compromised to fix this car

No

Fairs

Stay away, Rule of thumb buying a tesla Check service mode Check car fax Underbody Check trunk and trunk wells for hidden damage

Tesla toolfox module is another option to re enable supercharging on a salvage disabled vehicle

😭😭

Just for comparison, I bought a red '23 rwd with FSD 25k miles that was sold by a little dealer that bought and rebuilt auction cars for 16.5K out the door. The doors on mine were a little more smashed and a scratch down the side. The drivers door was replaced and the rest filled and repainted. I have bought and replaced the driver mirror and a pair of plastic rear lower control arm covers and the picture on my left fender camera wasn't as clear so I am changing that today. About $210 in parts, I'm just sad that it was before they went to HW4. It still is allowed supercharging but it could get pulled at any time. The warranty is gone but at least mine has a LFP battery.

I wouldn't. Historically, I've always bought salvaged cars without frame damage. Tesla is a different beast.

I wouldn't touch any car that has been in an accident let alone Tesla. The electronic and headaches to come, are not worth the cheaper price. Actually, considering the current and future welfare of the car, $16k is far to expensive. Get a better used one directly from Tesla.

too much money

I don't charge my non Tesla EV on none Tesla super chargers. They are not even comparable to Tesla.

lol. Should be about 5 max
