Said another way, Tesla paid for about 90% of those repairs. Again, consistent with not blaming customers for manufacturing defects. Is it your contention that 100% of half-shaft failures were identical and resulting from the same underlying cause? That Tesla was just selecting 10% of customers at random to pay for their repairs? That 0.00% of Tesla customers abused their cars?
By the numbers you quote, that is indeed a lot of half-shaft failures, but still only represents around 2% of Tesla's sold at the time. This would be consistent with a failure in quality control, not a consistently poor part. The notion that 0.2% of any car maker's customers abused their vehicles seems well within the bounds of plausibility to me.
Is it possible that some instances were misdiagnosed? Yes. It's very possible that some customers got a free repair when the cause was abuse. It's very possible that some customers paid for a repair they shouldn't have. This is the reality with every automaker, not just Tesla.
After all, nobody has anything bad to say about car dealerships. No other automaker has ever made a lemon. This is a Tesla problem. Tesla are special. They're bad. They're evil. And it's all Elon's fault. :eyeroll:

- clouddrover 3y agoThis is just getting sad now. To repeat: More than one engineer made a point of saying the issue had nothing to do with damage caused by customers.
- simondotau 3y agoThis is just getting sad now. You're hysterical over the say-so of two engineers out of how many globally, maybe two thousand? How does that 1:1000 ratio compare to the statistical likelihood of incompetence? The statistical likelihood of being a liar or scumbag? The statistical likelihood of having an unrelated workplace dispute? If these allegations were true, I'd expect DRAMATICALLY more whistleblowers to come forward. You're the one stating high confidence. You have a pattern of believing any claim unfavourable to Tesla on face value. Let's be real here, I'm not taking Tesla's side. I'm saying that I don't think this minuscule amount of hearsay is sufficient to come to any conclusions. You don't like that? Fine. Just be aware of what you're actually doing.
- clouddrover 3y agoYour feral fanboyism does you no credit. You're letting Tesla make a fool of you. There's no value in that.
