I look at these forms as a way for current and potential owner to share information. Prospective owners should understand the pros and the cons of this car.
I posted this on the TM form and it was removed in less than 24 hours.
I was also attacked by a number of Tesla religious zealot who if you say anything against tesla you are considered blasphemy and start their own Jehad against you.
First I love my tesla model S. It is the best driving car I have ever had the pleasure to drive. I was a reservation holder ~3 years ago and have 16k miles on it.
I happened to have what I would consider a minor collision after the recent storm which has resulted in a $20k bill where ~1/2 of the costs are parts.No air bags, I was able to drive away, front left fender, lights and the corner of the hood. While I know all companies are looking to make a profit, if such minor issues cost so much to fix they will not be able to sell many cars due to the high cost of insurance people will end up paying. For this much $ I could purchase a very nice new car!
I would be very interested to hear how much it cost to fix an Aluminum Audi and if it is comparable or not.
I would also presume that as more cars are built out of Aluminum finding qualified repair centers will be easier and the cost should go down.
I hope that Tesla address this high cost of parts before it bites them.
I have attempted to attach the line items but will not know if it worked until after I post this. I was unable to convert the PFD into text for easy posting.
