Whil ou are completely correct, it will be many years before I would trust having my Tesla (if I was getting one...) serviced[1] anywhere that doesn't have Elon

Whil ou are completely correct, it will be many years before I would trust having my Tesla (if I was getting one...) serviced[1] anywhere that doesn't have Elon's personal seal of approval. While the warrantee can't be voided for taking the car somewhere else, it can be voided if Tesla can show damage is a direct result if work done.
If I blow my engine after I put a NOS kit on it, I will likely have voided my warrantee. If I do it after putting a cold-air intake on it, I probably haven't voided it.
1. The tire-rotation thing seems silly, but perhaps doing it incorrectly will damage the regenerative baking system. If that's the case, don't ever get a flat tire in the middle of southern Utah.
- protomyth 14y agoIf a tire rotation damages the regenerative breaking then someone designed something horribly wrong. Your decisions are your own. Which is a great thing. Forcing a decision in an industry with so much law history is not a good move.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoI'm merely hypothesizing ways in which it is possible for Tesla to be in a situation where 3rd party service could legally void the warrantee. Tesla can't just void the warrantee because they say they void the warrantee. And, for the record, I agree with you about the tire rotation.
