Sounds like CARFAX had an issue, and they should own up to it

CarFax is junk!! Consumer pays under the table for a repair and it never gets reported.

If Tesla salvaged it, Tesla should buy it back. Recycle it or something.

I rebuild tons of teslas. I buy clear title teslas week. Tesla will flag it salvage even if it’s a very light collision. Easy fix. Pay Tesla $1150 and get back on network. It’s teslas way to drop the warranty. Money grab. It’s a joke. That title is still clean and clear. Tesla is horrible with these

we all should be concerned that a manufacturer and dealer is blacklisting titles..... not insurance, not dmv.... the manufacturer.... Tesla is the first the rest are to come

user9141634145582 :
I’ve had this happen to me multiple times. There’s a recourse program through Tesla. They will inspect the vehicle and if it’s a clean bill of health, they will un salvage it. Otherwise they will give you recommendations on what needs to be addressed before they will turn it back on.

Remember carfax has a “buyback guarantee” if manheim won’t do anything about it, my next step would be to see if carfax will.

So my question is does the DMV end up reporting it salvage? If not, then that means that any manufacturer can deem a car salvaged?

If Tesla is gonna internally salvage cars, it needs to show up on a Carfax

I think Tesla should report to carfax, in order to keep this from happening again! You would not of bought it if it was announced, they should also report to Manheim, Adesa etc as well as Autochek.

politically correct :
Under the terms and policy for Carfax if that's the case they will purchase the vehicle from you it was their mistake that's their guarantee and this being a Tesla and the 2024 it would have been at a Tesla Service Center and would have been reported

wild that you can hold the title and still not fully own what is inside the car. buying a used EV now means checking who controls the software, not just who signed the paperwork

Can you just get it inspected to get unsalvaged from Tesla?
