That depends if the fault ultimately lied with the customer or Tesla. More broadly, it demonstrates the company's willingness to assist, to go beyond what most people would reasonably expect a company to do to help resolve a problem, even when it's possible the problem was caused by the customer.

The whole post I was waiting for that title reference to be worked in, but was surprised when it was finally used in the metaphorical sense one usually hears. >> The two tow-trucks line is such a red-herring It would have made for a great counter example for the range anxious if it wasn't for the suspension failure.
