And a problem with a pack doesn't automatically equal a warranty replacement. It isn't defective - it is degraded.
Tesla can show that your battery degraded. Easy.
They can show that your warranty does not cover degradation. Not a dispute.
Then they can show that they slowed down the charging speed as a safety measure. Hard to argue. Easy for them to have experts state as batteries get degraded, they can't take as fast as a charge. You won't find experts to disagree with that.
Trespass is great and all. Good luck.
Diminished value is in the eyes of the beholder. Tesla can sit up there and compare your value to a similar age and similar cost BMW.
The owner's level of being pissed off does not have a monetary value that amounts to a hill of legumes.
I suppose we can debate this until the end of time. Won't change anyone's opinions. The truly pissed off will continue to dominate the discussion because most people don't care. The don't cares don't post. Similar to paint issues, USB music issues etc.
I will be happy to cash a small check that comes out of this but I would rather we get a good remedy than a cash payout. I am also happy to place a bet on the size of a cash payout for anyone thinking there will be a significant one. We can come up with a odds based on dollar amount. Like I will give 100:1 for $10k and maybe 1:1 for $1k.
