$846 to fix a light!

$846 to change a rear light sounds like part of a joke, but seriously? My Tesla service center gives me contradictory advice about whether it involves one component or two. If it's just one, it's "only" $500. I see lot's of DIY YouTube but what are the right components?

Is it the upper rear brake light that sometimes breaks the rear glass when it is replaced? Sounds reasonable.

How much for parts?

When you submit a request for service, Tesla sends you an estimate to approve to proceed with the repairs. Look for that in the Tesla App. It should itemize parts and labor, worst case. You can take out the rear hatch glass if it isn't broken during the repair.

Thanks. I saw the estimate but the service center said, on 1st call to them that it was a mistake, and on the 2nd call that it was correct. Labor was $120 out of the $846.

Wait until you find out the new headlights are $2400 each just for the part

This is the new normal for modern vehicles with custom molded LED lighting modules.

Headlights can cost thousands.

Either pay to play or pay to eBay.
