It's interesting that Tesla maintains a record of all Tesla vehicles, and once a car is scrapped, it's black listed in their records. There is no factory support. The vehicles that were eligible for free charging at Tesla Superchargers are barred from using the chargers, even on a paying basis. You can only recharge the car at home so it's a commuter car and is no longer practical for interstate use. Tesla won't sell any spare parts to support scrapped or rebuilt Tesla vehicles, and they won't help with any information. Tesla has adopted the software rental model where the customer doesn't really own anything.
