Fair.I understand the perspective. I’m not agreed with the practice.
One thing I'd be pleased to see is non-Tesla servicing options hit the market en mass, at least for the simple to moderate stuff (e.g. suspension, HVAC, etc.)
Competition is healthy and offers a good check on players to keep them in line with the market vs. gouging.
Off topic personal story: Two years ago-ish I balked at the ~$6k Tesla quoted to replace my busted-out struts in my S. Had a bro who knew his mechanics, he found a shop offering performance coil overs and we got them replaced over a hot summer weekend. Glad I had the option to avoid TSLA here but he and I took a bit more than the initial day we'd blocked off for the repair. Worked out well as I had the time to fool with it but can't but help wonder if a robust aftermarket existed for Tesla would've been able to offer the same service at a competitive price.
