It is the sensors...o2 and catalyst. I've put about 300 miles on it since it failed. They're still in a "not ready" status.
It has been modified with race converters etc, so there's still a chance it may fail after sensors kick over to ready status.
In the event that this is the case, the dealer is trying to pawn it off on me as my responsibility.
My question is, if it's my responsibility, why am I paying the license fees to the dealer in the first place? Refund me that 800+ bucks and I'll take care of it myself. Right?
I believe it will pass after the sensors are ready. Problem is, now the dealership is playing hardball with DMV fees etc.

Had a similar problem with one of my c63’s I bought used out of state like 8 years ago. Turns out it had a tune that had turned some of the monitors off so they never went into the ready state. Had to get someone to tune it again to turn the sensors back on, drive around until they were all ready, and then immediately go get emissions done before the check engine light came on. I have a feeling you’re in the same predicament since you’ve driven over 300 miles and they’re still not ready.
As far as the dealer…I think you’re outta luck. As far as I know, they only have to make sure the car can pass inspection and be registered in the state they’re located in. You may be able to convince them to offer you some sort of compensation as goodwill, but I’d guess it’s not very likely as you’re probably a one time customer for them.

Love that your fam has all Teslas. None of my fam likes them as much as I do. My bro has the Audi e-Tron because he said the ride was more plush (it is), but it’s kinda ****ty otherwise.

only complaint I have about the 2017 sq5 is no apple car play and the tire selection is straight trash for the stock wheels but it’s been reliable and pretty quick.

I think you're right. I know all my sensors are still in place, but the tune turned them off. I think with a new tune it will be ok. I don't even think the check engine light will come on. Be we will see.

I would imagine they only turned them off because whatever mods the car has were making the check engine light come on. Otherwise I don’t see why they would bother turning them off. Shouldn’t be a big deal. Hopefully you can flash back to stock or something and then once you pass emissions, you can flash back to the tune if you want to.
I had a pretty small window between when all my monitors finally were all ready and before the check engine light would come on. Just be driving around constantly checking all the monitors and be ready to swing to a test spot asap.

Still my baby but if all goes as planned looking to trade her in for a Hellcat later this year
Put my order in 3/21 they assigned a VIN 3/28
Salesman said it’s usually 4-8 weeks, manger said might be 6 months due to it being what it is. I tried to pick the least amount of options to well keep cost down but more importantly get it sooner hopefully.
For guys owners or people that have driven them while I know there’s an 232hp bump. Are there any other noticeable differences? What has been your experience.

I don't own a hellcat but I can tell you that you should expect your gonna be filling up twice as often and be going through tires and brakes much quicker.

. There's the hp increase like you mentioned & I believe the Hellcats get a tighter suspension with adjustable dampers. Idk if that can be optioned on the Scats now like you can the 6 piston Brembos by adding the Dynamics Package. The Hellcat comes with a more bolstered steering wheel that can be finished in suede and also features an illuminated SRT logo + the red Engine Start button. Leather & materials are pretty much the same on both. Congrats on the Kitty- you went with narrow or widebody?

I went for a widebody.
I was looking around and for the price I told myself I do better just ordering it really. Some “decent” prices but I’m not a big fan of buying used for that particular car.
