    transferring ownership from Hertz can take time.
    this leaves the car stuck in Chill driving mode (which restricts power, acceleration, and top speed) and places some car settings outside of the new owner’s level of access.
    You also won’t be able to use Tesla Superchargers while the car still shows up as belonging to Hertz.

    What the fuck.

    I wonder what it means, do you have your car unusable for a week or 3 months once you buy it?

        In the unlikely event that I buy a Tesla I’ll make sure to unplug the GSM modem and wipe the OS and install some open source Tesla OS (If that even exists?).

        Good luck getting ahold of the right person at Tesla in the first week, or getting them to do anything. Tesla’s phone support is the only thing worse than Tesla’s service centers.

      It literally say in the quote you copied what is restricted. You can still drive it, but there’s limits until it’s transferred.

          Doesn’t mean you can’t charge it. You can use home chargers, or other charging networks such as Electrify America or ChargePoint.

      It drives just like it does when you rent from Hertz. You’ll need to use level 2 chargers or non-Tesla DC Fast chargers until the car is transferred to your account.
