Won't these Teslas also possibly loose the ability to super charge eventually as all the verification (certificates) stuff is on the car?

- jillesvangurp 5y agoI don't think that's necessarily an issue. Tesla allows other vendors at their charging infrastructure. You might lose your warranty though.
- kube-system 5y agoThis is not the case everywhere yet, and Tesla does ban some modified (Tesla branded) cars from their chargers.
- xeromal 5y agoIt's not for entirely malicious reasons. Those super chargers run at very high watts (250 KW) in some cases and people with hobo repaired batteries could cause some serious fires if they could just plug into the chargers. Tesla does need to have approved vendors at some point, but I definitely understand their logic in blocking access.
- judge2020 5y agoTesla disables supercharging for any totaled vehicle, as they want to reduce the likelihood that a Tesla catches on fire at a supercharger and they're put on blast on the news for the next week.
