Wait, does that mean that you can pick up salvage title Teslas…?

Yes, but you won't be able to supercharge them (if not now, then at some point soon).

Rich Rebuilds has gone over the headaches of this extensively and you'll notice the last year or so of his content has nothing to do with Teslas.

I’m actually fine with that. Other than me scrounging around in the usual places, any links to where I should start looking for salvage titles?
Same places as for any other car really. :)

Wholesaler auctions are your best bet.

If you can it sounds like a wild ride getting various parts to coexist. I'm expecting components to be "smart" enough to self-report and disable each other in obscure ways.

I recall a few people doing mod work on recovered teslas and building a working one from two broken vehicles, but then having various usage issues.
