Solution to Out of Warranty Concerns
Guys this thread certainly doesn't seem to be headed anywhere productive. Why don't we focus on suggesting solutions? I'll go first and reiterate what I've said before:
1. Targeted service. If the gateway on the MCU is shot, but the rest of it is working, then only charge the customer for labor + the broken part, not the entire MCU.
2. Make diagnostic data more readily available to the owner so there isn't a perception that we are stuck with taking it into a Tesla SvC.
3. Default to refurbished/remanufactured parts to bring down costs.
