The YouTube video isn't the problem. The Tesla salesperson isn't going to remember this guy from YouTube 3 years later and decide to hassle him.
The problem is that he brought it to the dealer for an estimate. Every estimate goes down on your permanent record but this one will be flagged as "$16K Repair Declined" and will be the first thing they see when he returns the lease. This isn't a Tesla specific thing, if you leased a Buick and brought it in with a blown engine, declined the repair and then just showed up a few years later acting like nothing happened they would take the same issue.
This is one of the *infinite* reasons why no one should ever lease a car.
