Tesla Alternative?

Accidental damage apparently. So warranty void. Insurance write off due to high cost of replacement.
I imagine this is a legacy auto manufacturer putting their standard markup on spares.

It would be easier if you just watched the video. There is actually probably nothing wrong with the battery anyway.

But but but ... when I had VW ICE they never updated the SatNav ... not even for Real Money. How are they going to manage to do anything that is actually useful?
Sorry. Rhetorical.

No it's not, I got shafted in the same way by Toyota dealership. I did get in touch with Toyota UK in regards to the issue (the dealer advised me to do this) and Toyota UK referred me back to the dealer and this was the dealer I bought the car from, brand new with every possible extra.
My takeaway from that video is that the battery was OK and the dealership shafted him nice and proper and its not that surprising to me from yet another recent blunder with a Hyundai dealership
One of my main reasons for choosing a Tesla was I couldn’t stomach another car dealership....my mental health has to be taken into account...especially after my yelling at everybody in the Volvo dealership for their thieving ways.
Of course, I don’t know how Tesla will be when I have my first serious issue.....but the bar is so low, they have a good chance of exceeding my expectations

Instead of shouting at someone you’ll just be typing furious messages in the app that’ll they just ignore and then close the service request.

Can you not go into a service centre (aka showroom) and kick off?
As somebody who has had arguments with many BMW, Merc, Porsche and Peugeot dealerships near me - I’ve found every interaction with Tesla service so straighforward and feel they’ve disrupted this side of the car industry too.
Whether that’s the Tesla ranger offering, provision of a loaner (without any human interaction) or the oh so slick Uber credits solution it has been so much better than the traditional dealership experience for me. It almost certainly biases my opinion of the car itself.

You can. They’ll then tell you there’s nothing they can do and to raise a service request.
Tesla do loaners? That’s news to me because I have never been offered one and when I asked for one, they said they don’t have any available
The ones they stopped providing nearly a year ago?
Ive had two warranty claims and the service has been superb. Once had to take the car in after they came out to my house and could not sort and another time the ranger came to my workplace and fixed it.
Obviously this was still an inconvenience to me on one occasion but turnaround was amazingly fast.
So far Im impressed but time will tell.

. Two days ago at West Drayton Service CentreI even tipped the Uber driver on both trips I made and that was covered by the voucher too.

Very good, so it looks like the policy is being applied inconsistently between different service centres. Very traditional car dealership behaviour.

Edit: I even posted about it at the time
Uber credits warning
Just a heads up for everyone, Tesla now only give you Uber credits if they think your service will take longer than 4 hours - any less and you're on your own.

Zip it grandpa. Shouldn’t you be using your freedom pass instead of drivingI think you have to be above a certain age to get one
