That's the body shop's job (and failure)
...
Again, the body shop should have taken care of this.
...
Perhaps the body shop is better at taking care of conventional cars and lead acid batteries, and just needs a little experience and education about lithium-ion systems?
...
So the game, here, is to direct blame at the body shop and not Tesla?
The body shop Tesla certified?
It seems to me that if there are so few body shops, and Tesla must certify them (presumably to ensure the work is covered by warranty), then those body shops are in effect an extension of Tesla's business and it's perfectly valid to hold Tesla equally accountable for their failings.
- LeifCarrotson 10y ago> The body shop Tesla certified? True. But Tesla doesn't have a lot of options, given the average body shop's reputation.
- undersuit 10y agoYou are paying the body shop. My thinking is if the body shop isn't doing the job you paid them to do you don't do it for them, you complain to Tesla about their certified body shop.
- zzalpha 10y agoNo question about that. But I'd do that in addition to talking to Tesla customer service just to get the ball moving forward... after all, this isn't a crusade for this guy. He just wants his darn car back!
- coding123 10y agoIt's MOSTLY Tesla's fault, but it also sounds like the body shop wasn't really trying all that hard to keep them on their toes. My guess, as what most are saying here. Is that Tesla simply doesn't have those parts anymore, and has no way to produce them anymore. This might be the tip of a large large large class action lawsuit.
