I don't doubt that Tesla has more issues with parts availability than other manufacturers, but if you need a car every day, you should have a backup plan -- eg, rental car add-on to your insurance policy so you have something to drive while your primary vehicle is being repaired. I've had gas-powered cars that were in the body shop for a month or more.

The problem with Tesla is that people get stuck with body repair queues that are ~6 months [0] [0] - https://www.sfgate.com/cars/article/tesla-repair-wait-time-complaints-electric-car-13796037.php https://www.sfgate.com/cars/article/tesla-repair-wait-time-c...
- natch 7y agoI guess you haven’t been keeping up or reading the replies to your own comments. Tesla has in house body work now to address this kind of thing. They are fixing the problems you have heard about.
