Just imagine the R and D that would have gone into the whole process,including the manufacture and development of the automated machines,yet alone the finished product.Quote:

Yeah, absolutely amazing - the engineering of the plant itself before it even makes its first part is staggering.Quote:

His doco shows dismantling a motor and replacing the bearings. Of course the motors have an 8 year warranty so it hasn't cost customers who paid full tilt anything yet.
He chronicles the really extreme rip off prices charged to fix minor body damage on Teslas, as they can only be fixed by approved repairers. In a recent doco he cites the experiences of some owners who have non warrantable things fixed like $6 for brake repairs. The door handles on early cars also give quite a bit of trouble and are not warranted. There have been several updates on the door handles and there is a bloke in the USA who does a fix kit for them. he also has a video on installing a high voltage charging point at home.
Luckily for Australians I don't think any of the early cars came to OZ.
I commend the Rich Rebuilds videos to you if you want to know a lot about Teslas from the perspective of someone who has rebuilt a Tesla without any technical information from Tesla.
I have to say I am very impressed y what Elon Musk has achieved so far , but his policies regarding technical help are poor. Sounds like how Land Rover treat specialists!

Attitudes are turning. The problem is we still have the typical internal-combustion-engine-driver attitude that you need a service station on every corner, they want it to be quick and easy, don’t want to have to think about their trip.
thats correct, its a lifestyle choice.
i like to get in the car and drive, fill up, and keep driving.
EV doesnt fit my lifestyle.
