Yeah - if I were signing a contract for these semis, I would want the '1 million miles' warranty to mean 'if the truck stops working and can't be repaired by Tesla within a week, then Tesla will buy back the truck for the purchase price * miles driven/1 million.'
I'd define 'stops working' as 'stops being road legal or able to drive at the speed limit with the rated load for at least half the advertised range'.
So a broken cab heater or faulty app wouldn't be reason for a warranty return.
I would obviously expect to pay a higher ticket price to get this warranty.

- akiselev 4y agoA new semi truck starts at about $100k on the low end. You can get the same level of service by spending $5k on a coffee machine meant for coffee shops.
- oxplot 4y agoIntrigued so did a bunch of searches for commercial machines and can't find any mention of "fix it or take it back and pay me for my time" terms anywhere. Care to share one?
- akiselev 4y agoOops I thought you were being realistic :) Edit: SLAs?

- rsynnott 4y agoIn general, if you want this you'd lease the machine. Fairly common for independent cafes and restaurants (and those bean-to-cup machines in offices). Though, also, the heavy-duty commercial machines are pretty reliable and service-able; you wouldn't generally expect to be out of order for a _week_ even if you owned it.
