Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
Ouch, how did that happen? Was it on the freeway or was it rockfall off of Fuerte Drive embankments? I've seen rocks there on many occasions and with all the rain this year it must be pretty unstable.
Definitely sounds like you should ask for that part back after getting your battery replaced (in California if you ask for this prior to the work order being placed, they are required to give the old battery back - but maybe Tesla would not do the work if you request this...)! Going to need quite a trailer to lug it around though. I don't imagine the service center will be very accommodating but I guess you never know.
I don't think Tesla has ever covered for road damage. They do however cover if the car burns up, even if it is because of road damage or negligence. But we haven't seen Model 3 packs catching fire even when damaged...
Since the battery is already damaged, this could be a good time to test one. Shoot a few holes in it and see if it catches fire. After you have it out of the car, of course.
What has Tesla said about this? Will they cover any of the cost and what do they say about the presence or absence of a battery shield under the car like on S/X?
Would like to hear size of the rock, speed etc that could cause this damage. Were you on a paved road? Agree that insurance should cover this since it was damage caused while driving.
