Can you explain (c)? What ceases to be Tesla Certified? The car? I've never heard of a car itself as being certified by a manufacturer, or it mattering. The only context I can imagine is a dealership selling a used car as "certified pre-owned" or similar (that's BMW's term, others have their own). That means they provide a warranty with the used car, have inspected it, etc. So I suppose, in theory, Tesla could claim that if you get the car repaired by a non-certified shop, they will not in the future take your car in as a 'certified' vehicle for sale, which only means that your resale value when selling the car back to Tesla, assuming they do such a thing is lower. As far as I know, due to Magnusson-Moss, the manufacturer cannot require that you service the vehicle at their facility or a "certified" facility. Of course, if you have sub-par work done, or parts installed, they can refuse future warranty claims if those subsequent claims were a result of sub-par work or parts. This isn't to say that manufacturers can't try to make it hard on you if you don't do what they want you to do. But, all that said, I still feel that (c) is a point without meaning.
