When my WRX started making an odd ticking sound guess what Subaru told me to do? "Bring it in right now." Ended up being a bearing in the engine, but Subaru sourced and replaced the entire engine quicker than Tesla has a rotor, caliper, and pad.
I can't believe how people tolerate replacement parts taking so long for Teslas. Tesla is the only supplier. They are choosing to make more new mostly working cars instead of fixing the ones missing things like brake pads. They could just allocate more parts to repairs.
- FireBeyond 5y ago> They could just allocate more parts to repairs. That is the crux of the matter. It's more important to Tesla to put those parts on the line, so they can tout quarterly delivery numbers. And now they're also seeing the downsides of incremental improvement. It's great in some ways, but for repair and maintenance not so much. At least with the "legacy" manufacturers you have parts separated by model year. With Tesla, they might have cycled through a few part models a year. That adds to the complexity of part sourcing, even before the delivery number issue.
