This Tesla Model S Owner Repairs His Own Car
Рет қаралды 3,611,294
Күн бұрынGreg Furstenwerth was an early adopter of the Tesla Model S, but once the car was out of warranty he had a hard time getting the parts and service he needed. So he took on the repairs himself, and found it surprisingly easy. "If you can put together Legos you can put together a Tesla.”

I got into an accident and it took the better part of 2.5 months to get parts shipped from California to Ontario! Mean while, I had to spend $250 on gas every week. It's weird when you love your car and hate what you're going through to have it.

What are you trying to say here? It's a company, so people shouldn't support their decision to not repair an out of warranty product for free? That's precisely the reason to support it, Tesla is a company that's out to make money, giving away free repairs for life because an owner lives a few miles away from the nearest authorised service center would send them broke. I wouldn't want to take my Tesla to a regular mechanic just like I wouldn't want to take any luxury vehicle to just any mechanic. Dude pays $60k for a car and expects there to be service centers on every corner? The guy is deluded.

I don't get the fascination with Tesla or cars in general, especially at today's prices. The bottom line is you need a car to get you from A to B, to get to work or to pick up a few things. Today if you do a little research and exercise a little patience,you can buy a decent low mile car in the $5,000 range. This car or that car may be fun to drive or make you feel good for a while to own it, but when the thrill is gone you still spent maybe $100,000 for that thrill. I've been around for over 70 years now, and I can tell you that these people are wasting their money in a monumental way. My advise in the beginning is to work hard, save BIG, spend as little as humanly possible. Try to save enough to retire at 40, I'm not saying to actually retire at 40 but to be in a position to be ABLE to. Trust me I've been there and done that, I don't care how successful you are at the moment, that can all change in a heartbeat. DON'T BE A SUCKER TheReaper!

Tesla is not a spare parts company, like Ford, GM, and Chrysler. Tesla's primary focus is the sale of new cars. They are constantly growing, so their priority is understandably on making parts available for new vehicles to sell. Each year, the Tesla Model S outsells multiple direct competitors combined. So, yeah... It is probably a bit easier to get a door handle for a Lexus LS, AUDI A8, or BMW 7-Series as a spare part. Will it cost less at retail?
