> An internal combustion engine (ICE) replacement cost is ~$7000. It is much more complex than an electric motor. In addition, ICE cars have very complex transmissions (replacement cost ~$5000). is he talking about the cost of swapping brand new Ford performance crate engine? Book time on engine swap is 10 hours x $100-150, transmission half that. Good second hand engine usually ~$1000, transmissions $500 used up to ~$2K brand new from manufacturer. But nobody sane replaces engine/transmission every time something breaks. > The third set was purchased at a Les Schwab tire store in Orem, Utah, where I arrived with a totally flat right rear tire. I had no opportunity to shop for tires and didn’t realize how much more I had paid aka got scammed >I don’t have the exact date and mileage because this is one of the older repairs which are no longer given under service history in the Tesla app on my cell phone wtf, you cant even see full service history of your car? >October 2021/~53,000 miles: remove and replace rear aero shield = ~$427.13 > February 2, 2023/88,705 miles: Remove and replace front aero shield (under car fiber apron) = $427.13. Third party is still a thing for cars thanks to Magnuson Moss. Stainless Steel front/back replacement set $280, Alu set $380. >I had two expensive repairs for items which were “not part of the drive system.” However, they caused the drive system to fail. It seems to me that Tesla should have fixed for free the two items that caused my drive system to fail since the drive system was still under warranty If you believe that argue with Tesla, get them into small claims etc.
