    The range of current (sorry!) TESLA cars can be extended by 30 to 40 miles... with a few keystrokes from TESLA head office. - Normally only available as an extra co$t, but TESLA remotely extended the battery capacity of all TESLAs in Florida, allowing them to escape Cyclone Irma.

    All hinges on the TESLA practice of remote, wireless updates for their cars.
    Or whilst you're asleep, the car is chatting with Mummy & Daddy.

    I probably know more about Tesla S than I ever wanted to know after watching several Rich Rebuilds Youtube videos on rebuilding flooded Teslas and damaged ones. Great stuff.

    A few of the highlights

    One for sale on Craigslist for 20K when Tesla approved repairs were 17K , that consisted of about $1500 in actual damage.

    If a Tesla is written off, then you have to pay Tesla 2-4 K to recertify the car. If not it cannot be supercharged or get updates.( although if the write off is not reported , then the Tesla may work. It's a lottery)

    Tesla will not supply even body parts to non approved body shops.

    Elon Musk said that as mechanics get more experienced they will become more commonplace but he doesn't allow any info or diagnostics to be supplied to mechanics.
    Brave New World.

    Diyelectriccar.com has lots of info on Telsa hacks . There is a good supply of used Tesla drive units , people are retrofitting into ICE cars . No support from Tesla but there is lots of workaround solutions.

    e.g. EVTV Motor Verks Store:

    I can even charge my EV LandRover from a Tesla destination charger , apparently it should not work but the Charger handshakes with my EVSE & thinks my car is a Tesla , wont work on a Supercharger of course.
