Ranger Fees

This is the big Achilles Heel of the Tesla model IMHO. While having a no haggle order your own vehicle online is a great feature, it's lack of infrastructure on the ground is a big failure. If they want to ramp up production on the Model 3 to hundreds of thousands of cars, they need service centres locally, in every place they sell the cars. If they don't, nobody will buy the cars. We're already seeing wait times at service centres of several weeks in some cases.

This problem is compounded when the vehicle is a new technology and the 3rd party auto repair shops are ill-equipped to do anything beyond brakes, suspension and tires... This is why we need 3rd party Tesla service centers which can handle the more advanced stuff (like PEM repairs, motor swaps, battery swaps, etc....)! This is also why I'm working to create at least one of such 3rd party options!
