Sorry, poor choice of words. I meant it didn’t cost you 94k or even what they go for used say in NADA. Most people wouldn’t tackle a project like this. Tesla does go by vin numbers because how else would they know who to charge? Still seems like you could use a CCS to Tesla adapter on a CCS charger.

Not sure - it was listed on Craigslist (I always buy private) so anyone was able to make an offer, mine was just the first to be accepted, so I think it was market value. But then - what is market value for a 2013 S85 w dual charger (original $94k) that is now salvage, has lost Supercharging, has a bad battery (only bottom 15% available, range indication 37mi) needs work on 3 door handles, has a shattered left rear quarter window, loose front bumper cover, cosmetic damage to right rear fender, rear bumper and hatch? 120k mi. Tell me your estimation and I will tell you if I paid that or it was under market value. I spent $200 and many hours on replacing a battery module (bought a 2013 module for $1k and sold the *Tesla refurbished but unbalanced* 2012 module for $800; replaced the module myself), bought and replaced the window (ignoring the cost for a tube of goop), bought 3 stainless steel gears for the failing door handle presenters and bolted down the front bumper cover. The cosmetic damage is still there, but I now have a 230mi salvage but wonderfully driving vehicle, still with cosmetic damage and only capable of charging at max 20kW (240V 80A AC) so normally only 11.5kW (48A). Though I will likely sell it this summer as I have too many EVs Cor.
