While I agree (good and bad repair shops), this extends to dealers and even management at local, non-franchised shops. EG, a specific Tesla shop can be stuck with bad management too. A Canadian banks was caught because tellers were signing people up, unaware, with free credit cards, over draft protection, monthly plans, and even lines of credit. Why? Management tying performance and promotion, and even job security, with overly aggressive conversion numbers. So, even a Tesla shop may try an upsale, to get monthly profit numbers up. In terms of the hack? It's not a hack. It is a simple, sensible fix. Bear in mind, the Tesla shop he went to? Seems to be little more than a component swapping repair site. They likely know little about car repair. One other thing. You get good at car repair, when you work on 10, 20, 30 year old cars. Fixing new, in lease cars is easy by comparison. Tesla has little experience with 20 year old wear and tear fixes... Yet independent shops and experienced mechanics do.
