2018 Model 3 suddenly had brake pedal going to the floor and throwing "low brake fluid" error. Inspection of the garage floor revealed a pool of brake fluid. I set up a repair with Tesla. The estimate? $6220.70 to repair a brake line!! They said they need to drop the battery to get at it. This sounds like a pretty big design flaw to me if so. When purchased new (long range and AWD, including "full self-driving" and "enhanced autopilot," the total price was $66,000 (before federal tax credit), so basically replacing a brake line is going to cost > 10% of the original cost for me to get the car!!
Has anyone else been charged such a high price? I saw another post by Essar B who needed a repair on a Model Y who was originally quoted about $1350 to replace ALL the brake lines!! And I think another 2018 Model 3 owner said he had a similar problem and the Peabody MA SC quoted $3500 to do his repair. I have heard of inflation, but $6200+??
