  Just take it to an independent third party repair shop.

    That isn’t possible for Teslas – Tesla does not offer manuals or replacement parts, and if a third-party is found to have modified the car, Tesla reserves the right to remotely disable it.

      I thought that was illegal in the US? How exactly are they getting around the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?

        It is illegal as far as I know, and I've never heard of Tesla remotely disabling a car unless it's been stolen. The only thing I've read about is them not doing in-warranty repairs and/or recalls on salvage vehicles, but that's normal. They'll apparently recertify a salvage car for $3k-$6k though, if an owner really wants support.

  I am deeply excited about Tesla's cars, technology, and vision, and as things stand today, I will not buy one. How they can roll out brand new, very expensive car in this state, and tell the customer "take it or leave it" is strongly indicative of where the customer is placed in terms of importance to Tesla. The photo's in the reddit post are shocking.
