there was a 3/y recall on loose caliper bolts, and i looked up if my car was affected but it wasn't. a few months back, my car's upper control arm started squeaking real bad so tesla replaced it for free. a poo poo load of other owners say they needed theirs replaced as well so i'd be pissed if i had to pay out of warranty. also, my 12v battery failed, and tesla also replaced that free of charge due to warranty. this isn't unique to tesla, lots of evs suck at managing their lead acid 12v battery but it's still weird that you have to jump-start an ev edit: for a car that's supposed to be 'maintenance free', there's some common things owners need to be aware that fail in case they plan on owning teslas out of warranty Nfcknblvbl fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Sep 29, 2021 |

Full Self Driving is the thing that’s in beta but also costs $10,000 dollars and tries to drive your car into pedestrians and bollards and oncoming traffic on city streets.

tesla has had many issues with their cars where a big traditional car company would probably do a recall just to be on the safe side however teslas strategy seems to be a mix of downplaying, blaming the user for holding it wrong and as a last resort offering to pay for replacements and repairs

Chris Knight posted:does Tesla claim their cars are maintenance free, or is that an owner claim. because lol either way this is all they got for my car  it kind of worries me that they don't recommend changing the transmission fluid. metal gears shed a decent amount of material initially so it would make sense to replace the oil/filter at least once but they don't suggest it. perhaps tesla figures that the gearbox will explode well after the warranty expires so who gives a gently caress, right? edit: as a contrast to this, my electric motorcycle needs to have its transmission fluid replaced at 600 miles on the odo, and every 6k miles after that.

$29k in maintenance for 400,000 miles seems like a fuckin bargain to me, and up until like 150-220k its loving insanely cheap. At that point in most cars you'd be looking at like 3 or 4 timing belt changes, probably a new clutch, all kindsa poo poo

Thats 5 timing chain replacements alone, not to mention the oil changes and the rest. Either they're doing a lot of their own maintenance or underreporting costs or not keeping good records and forgetting or just not doing the scheduled maintanance and getting lucky.

100k mileage replacement on a timing chain? that can't be right, I can't find anything online saying that the chain has a set replacement interval. sounds like something you'd get told by a dealer pushing you to replace your oil every 3000 miles.

Timing chain only needs replacement when it fails, there's no replacement schedule. Timing belts are 100k though (that's the whole point of the chain)

its worth noting that the tesla in question was only used in SoCal where it will never be subjected to its arch-nemesis: water. on the other hand, 100k miles per year as a rental aint nothin to sneeze at.

At that point in most cars you'd be looking at like 3 or 4 timing belt changes, probably a new clutch, all kindsa poo poo Idk what you're smoking to call 29k over 4 years, even with extreme mileage, cheap maintenance. that's the price of an entire new car. A timing belt job shouldn't be more than 1000 bucks, and nearly all of that is labor so it can get significantly cheaper. Even if you have done it four times by 400k that is....4000 dollars. a new clutch maybe $2000 cause you have to pull the engine out. the most expensive items will be the 6 or so sets of tires you'll wear out by then, call that another 5 grand if you have big stupid wheels but you could easily get away with half that if you have normal wheels and buy the cheapo high mileage tires. a couple thousand in oil changes, brake pads, and miscellaneous poo poo and you're at 15k. that should be about it if you aren't in the rust belt. where is the other 15k for this "fuckin bargain" coming from?
