Tesla's are different than the millions of vehicles they are used to.Well in the OPs defense, the insult to injury was having to fight with the tire cos about getting new tires put on because of fear of lifting his car. That sounds pretty miserable. Is this a common experience?
Many owners are gleeful in how different their Tesla is unique and while tesla's are selling and the most popular EV they are a drop in the bucket in the overall automotive industry.
Most repairs occur at tesla facilities and they require less maintenance.
To be angry with a shop for having concerns regarding working on them and not wanting to put themselves in liability for a small one off job is IMO wrong.
Anyone buying a tesla and not taking the time to learn about things like jack pads is amazing to me. Even though they are not the only cars designed that suggest using jack pads. These cars are new technology which we applaud.
Part of that is a problem with after market repairs.
Personally I think Tesla's design, where they want the jack pads is a flaw but they are still new designs in the grand scheme of things. That's part of being on the cutting edge.
