I didn't offer legal advice? I said based on my reading, it violates this act. Feel free to show where I am incorrect?
If you want to argue based on the merits of my argument vs saying "This is an only on HN comment", what would your thoughts be if Ford/Dodge/etc. void my warrenty because I idled my car and hooked up an inverter to my lead acid battery?
- random5634 6y agoThis is super well established. Let me 100% clear. If you kill your battery because you idled a car and hooked up an inverter then Ford will not cover this claim. That is misuse. https://www.ford.com/cmslibs/content/dam/brand_ford/en_us/brand/resources/general/pdf/warranty/2020-Ford-Hybrid-Car-Truck-Warranty-version-1_frdwa_EN-US_04_2019.pdf https://www.ford.com/cmslibs/content/dam/brand_ford/en_us/br... "misuse of the vehicle, such a driving over curbs, overloading, racing or using the vehicle as a stationary power source". Yes - you can do it. No, they do not have to pay for the damage you cause doing this. I've always known this. This idea that you can do something that clearly caused damage in the linked article and then TESLA, not the owner of vehicle owes money is backwards. A warranty covers use of the vehicle for intended purposes, not misuse. The user caused damage by misusing the vehicle, in fact, the very damage one would expect.
