The logistics of parts is one thing.
Training and certifying mechanics to install them is a separate thing, since you must also prepare sufficient trainers and certifiers. This not an instantaneous process. There are two stocks with dependent flow rates.
Incumbents don't feel this as acutely because they have dealer networks on top of many independent mechanics.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoAs far as I’m aware qualified automotive mechanics don’t need training for brew vehicles, but they do need workshop manuals and telephone support. I wouldn’t surprised if new manuals have video links? I can’t see there being anything fundamentally different about Tesla repairs. Many mechanical workshops also employ or engage automotive electricians, so the cross-skill collaboration for the electronics side of the Tesla already exists in the industry. Also, mechanics have been servicing the Prius for years, so they’re not totally unfamiliar with electric vehicles. I don’t know how the dealer networks help? By all accounts here in Australia the dealers employ none to very few of the good mechanics, rather they’ve all left for higher pay / better conditions elsewhere. Maybe I’m wrong about my pondering above, but my larger point of getting parts swiftly to the repairer certainly couldn’t make things worse.
