> 4) asking the owners to pay for the replacement due to tesla's own screwup.
I had an email from Tesla yesterday about this recall and as far as I can see I will not be expected to pay anything. It even says that if someone had the part replaced at their own cost that they might be able to get a refund. I live in Norway and have a 2015 S 70D.
The email says:
"Tesla har besluttet å frivillig og proaktivt tilbakekalle enkelte Model S og Model X som er bygget før mars 2018 og som er utstyrt med et 8 GB innebygd MultiMediaCard (eMMC) i MCU som kan oppleve en funksjonsfeil på grunn av akkumulert slitasje. ... Hvis du allerede har betalt for reparasjoner som er tilknyttet til denne tilbakekallingen, kan du være kvalifisert for en refusjon."
Google Translate does a good job on it:
"Tesla has decided to voluntarily and proactively recall some Model S and Model X that were built before March 2018 and that are equipped with an 8 GB built-in MultiMediaCard (eMMC) in the MCU that may experience a malfunction due to accumulated wear. ... If you have already paid for repairs associated with this recall, you may be eligible for a refund."
Hackaday's 'article' seems to be conflating what Tesla wanted to happen (and what they actually did before) with what is happening now.
Or is Tesla in the US expecting owners to pay now as well as before?
- coolspot 6y agoYou expected to pay yourself if both: 1) Your car is out of warranty. 2) Your car’s VIN is not listed for the recall.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoThank you. I wonder how Tesla decides which cars to recall.
