- s2g 8y agoYeah, Tesla is as guilty as anyone as pushing forward the destruction of the concept of owning the stuff you buy.
- emodendroket 8y agoA bunch of horror stories of months-long turnarounds for fender-benders too. https://jalopnik.com/teslas-potential-body-shop-backlog-nightmare-1793269803 https://jalopnik.com/teslas-potential-body-shop-backlog-nigh...
- MentallyRetired 8y agoThis is exactly what I'm talking about. Most of the people looking at this picture aren't qualified to understand WHY it's so expensive. That gash has torn through single-piece sheet metal and likely into the subframe. There's probably subframe damage to some degree. You can't just replace rear quarter panels. If they were to do it the cheap way and give him his car back, he'd complain that it was driving sideways and blame Tesla for that, too. So many uneducated people out there thinking their opinions are as valuable as facts. This is what happens when that concept clashes with reality.
