I've seen discussions on Quora with people claiming battery replacement costs higher than the price of a new car. This is the first time I've seen evidence. This is patently insane and shows the greed of the car companies.

So, other people have seen the same problem? Are there threads about this?

I typically use autopilot in my X. A few days ago I found it was not working and all the related icons on the instrument cluster were not visible. I've given the car a reset, but no change. I've disabled all the related functions in the control menu and re-enabled them, with no change...

That's an issue for Tesla to manage. I don't recall using a Supercharger without idle time penalties in a long time. They seem to be pretty universal now.

Which holiday?

Why? How do you "abuse" Superchargers, by using them? In 2018, Tesla was hurting for cash. They did many things to make sure the cars they could build were actually sold. One of those things was the free, unlimited Supercharging. A significant number of those cars sold with free...

How could you possibly know what Tesla intended??? At that time, there were many who bought a Tesla, knowing they had no place to charge at home or work. With the limited charging rate of level 2 chargers (most at 30 or 40 amps (7.5 or 10 kW) it's not practical to use public charging other...

Sorry, this discussion is getting far too intricate to be useful.

Yes, that's exactly the point. No one is talking about taking this to court. Not because of BP. You continually read into what I'm saying, things I did not say. I've not made assertions as if they are fact. I'm pointing out likely outcomes. I've not had issues with crowding to any...

The devil is in the details. If BP were providing Tesla equipment, that clearly leaves the door open to be more tightly integrated with the Tesla network. My concern is that the BP chargers become a synonym for Tesla chargers, but not providing the free charging I currently enjoy. Some...

Here's the deal on the free Supercharging. Only so many chargers are needed. If others build more, Tesla can build less. So that's fewer chargers providing the free Supercharging. Is that more clear? I never said Tesla is "trying" to get out of free Supercharging, but don't think it is not...

So, what are you talking about "a decade late"???

I don't know why you say a "decade" late. Do you think there was a time when they had no repair teams???

I'm not sure how to respond to your post. I knew the "unlimited free" charging was a crap shoot. At any time, they could simply shut down the network, if they felt like it. That is exactly my concern. Now that the charging networks are talking about supporting Tesla cars, and Tesla is...

You are making no sense. YOU are talking about the free charging, but limiting what they have already given. They can't limit what they've already agreed to. WTF are you talking about???
