Also, "recall" sounds like the cars have to physically move back to the factory. Reality: I took 10 sec to schedule a visit from a Mobile Technician who'll do the work in my driveway while I go on living my life.
Big non-issue.
- alamortsubite 5y agoIt may be a big non-issue for you, but having to deploy mobile technicians to a significant percentage of their customers' driveways sounds like a very real issue for Tesla.
- FullyFunctional 5y agoFor certain, but recalls are not unusual for any brand. As best I know Tesla is alone in having the option of an app-scheduled mobile-service which is massively more convenient for me and likely an order of magnitude cheaper for Tesla (compared to bringing in the car to a oversubscribed service center).
- gnicholas 5y agoFrom what I hear, Tesla is notorious for repair delays. Even if it's not inconvenient to have a tech service your vehicle, presumably doing this nearly half a million times will make the repair backlog even longer.
- FullyFunctional 5y agoSample size of 1: my service happens 6 days from now (Bay area). From past experience, getting a slot in the service center can be .. ahem .. difficult, but getting a service call has never been an issue. I bet it's easier to scale the mobile service than building new service centers.

- wumpus 5y agoWhat's your personal experience with Tesla mobile service?
- panick21_ 5y agoIt depends. If you need a major part of the body replaces, delays can be long. However, many repairs that the mobile service can do are much better.
