IMO this case is not just about the price, the perceived fairness plays a central role. From the article:

> Benoit and the team at Electrified Garage are huge proponents of Right to Repair and say that this is a lesson on that very subject.

I also think that it’s still a good case. The owner wanted an alternative to just throwing away the $16000 part, and found a shop that provided a legit way to do that (until proven otherwise at least).

Hopefully getting punished for choosing alternatives to Tesla to service it would be prohibited by right to repair clauses.
