An unlucky man purchased a Tesla from a used car dealership only to learn that it was nearly impossible to charge the electric vehicle after driving it off the lot.

When the first charger didn’t work, Boycott sought out a few more stations. When none of them worked, he turned to the Illinois dealership and Tesla.

A Tesla representative eventually got back to Boycott and let him know that “the car is currently unsupported for supercharging and warranties are voided due to [it being a] salvaged vehicle.”

Tesla does offer an inspection option for customers trying to get their Tesla back on the Supercharger network, but for a fee of a couple thousand dollars.
