Went to have a door handle serviced today. Had noticed some oil on the back of my car. Upon inspection they tell me it’s the drive unit seal. In order to replace remove wheels drop axle etc. $700 for two or three seals. My question: is this not a warranty claim on drive unit which is valid for 8 years or 125k?? A properly installed and manufactured seal should last for a long time on a sealed unit. This being a non serviceable item should not be considered a wear item by tesla. Any advice? Has anyone had luck pushing back on service center?
