Maybe you read a different report, not the Reuters one that highlighted premature failures of suspension or steering parts described as: chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
> 200$ that's the only maintenance cost my Tesla had in the first 4.5 years. What a scandal!Oddly the Reuters report wasn't all about you. I'm glad for you that all you've personally seen or experienced is squeaky bushings and $200 out of pocket. As this is HN, a technical forum, I'm sure no one needs to explain how your personal anecdote has no real bearing here and fails to negate the documented stories of many many others. |
Thanks for your concerns about my technical understanding. I hold a PhD in material science. What's your expertise and how does it relate to suspension safety?
