That's better than my reply. I was going to say take a blood pressure pill, breathe deeply and relax.
OP I understand your concern. It could be expensive if something were to go wrong with the pack, yet in this case just ask them to make a note on the repair bill that this occurred.
Clearly you and Yelobird are the "defend Tesla they can do no wrong" and you both enjoy personal attacks as a way to defend your perception that Tesla actually is failing - in some cases catastrophicly - when issues occur.
Think guys - I waited a year to get the car. Clearly I wanted it and still enjoy it to an extent - but tell me, how long a list of issues about the company do we accept before we say f___ it? Don't tell me that's a "personal decision" - when I buy any car, I don't expect the features I buy to disappear on an update. I don't expect price gouging, lying from service folks. I don't expect future vehicle designs to negate the ability for good service ability. I don't expect to have no humans to talk to. I don't expect QC issues like what others and I had. I don't expect crappy paint. I can go on - list is long.
Everyone, including me, lives with a list of issues - no car company is perfect -but Teslas list is longer than one would expect for a vehicle in its class.
Don't tell me I "should have known@ - most people who buy cars are not reading forums like this to have forewarning.
Take a blood pressure pill? Yeah - maybe - cuz Tesla could have done better and honestly it's like you really have no clue untio you are an owner and have some issues ti deal with just what you get in ti with a Tesla.
I am happy so many of you have never had to deal with service or if you did you were fairly and honestly treated.
I just figured a Conpany like this could and would do better - so yes, maybe I took it too personally that I spent 60k and didn't have my expectations met. I just was hoping the hype was real and clearly it's not and when members on here act like I am attacking them when I say Tesla could do better, that is part of the hype contribution that masks some of the pitfalls.
I talked to even other Tesla owners in my area I know personally and all except one overlooked any area where Tesla could improve. One guy had to replace a steering rack for 3.4k - just out of warranty and he was OK with that eveb though same work could be done for 2k outside of SC.
Maybe what you don't like is the prolific posts asking and sharing my opinion? Guess this site isn't what I thought if that's your belief.
