      but yes, after sitting for 15 years the lithium battery will not hold any charge, let alone the stupid computer systems refusing to power the motor unless everything is perfect and it receives the latest update from Tesla, and once it has verified with a remote Tesla service.... which the servers hosting that service went down 10 years ago

      Hi. I've found some cars from car selling sites or some are from people. Most of cars are abandoned because they wont pass technical inspection or they have expensive issue to fix, sometimes its cheaper to buy new car. Here is not that hard to sell these cars but nobody wants to pay price that you ask. Most people want to buy cars here for metal price only.
