This is why having a dealer network is important, if annoying. Tesla has been a leader in having a "software defined car" so lots of problems can be fixed via over the air updates. They should be glad this issue was found early and not after 5 years and 2 million vehicles on the road.
- rstupek 3y agoTesla has service centers to deal with these do they not? Not sure how dealers makes it any easier to manage the recall
- kube-system 3y agoTraditional automakers have more dealers than Tesla has service centers. Tesla service is known for long wait times. Ford, for example, has 15x as many locations to get your vehicle serviced.
- bink 3y agoA bit unfair to compare Tesla to a company that's built a dealer network over 100+ years.
- Qwertious 3y agoThey're competing in the same market, people expect the same quality.
- kube-system 3y agoFairness has nothing to do with anything here. First of all, it's the reality of having a Tesla worked on, regardless of blame. Second, Tesla's lack of a US dealer network is very intentional and they've fought very hard against the legal status quo to avoid having one at all.
- TheBigSalad 3y agobut it wouldn't be a big issue if it went 5 years unnoticed.
