Imagine if car repairs worked the same. Oh you damaged the front bumper on the curb? Sorry we're gonna have to do a full engine replacement as the chassis might have flexed and cracked the engine block despite it running perfectly fine.

It's frankly ridiculous what people consider acceptable behavior from apple.

Tesla is making their cars with huge single castings and structural batteries, making any repair to those components prohibitively expensive.
