Also, stuff like door handles have known reliability issues on the Model S and are expensive to replace too, Tesla don't supply parts to third party repair shops, and the warranty on everything other than the drive train is shorter and limited-mileage. (Which means that yes, people have paid out of pocket to repair failed door handles and the like because they're over the mileage limit.)
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoI've also seen a fair share with a failing third brake light, about half of the LEDs not lighting up. Probably isn't noticed by the driver until regular service, government inspection, etc. It's not a surprise that many things fail on a complex assembly with all new parts. No wonder automakers do their best to share small stuff like buttons, latches, door handles etc. between many makes and models.
