Tesla is not a spare parts company, like Ford, GM, and Chrysler. Tesla's primary focus is the sale of new cars. They are constantly growing, so their priority is understandably on making parts available for new vehicles to sell. Each year, the Tesla Model S outsells multiple direct competitors combined. So, yeah... It is probably a bit easier to get a door handle for a Lexus LS, AUDI A8, or BMW 7-Series as a spare part. Will it cost less at retail?

I don't get the fascination with Tesla or cars in general, especially at today's prices. The bottom line is you need a car to get you from A to B, to get to work or to pick up a few things. Today if you do a little research and exercise a little patience,you can buy a decent low mile car in the $5,000 range. This car or that car may be fun to drive or make you feel good for a while to own it, but when the thrill is gone you still spent maybe $100,000 for that thrill. I've been around for over 70 years now, and I can tell you that these people are wasting their money in a monumental way. My advise in the beginning is to work hard, save BIG, spend as little as humanly possible. Try to save enough to retire at 40, I'm not saying to actually retire at 40 but to be in a position to be ABLE to. Trust me I've been there and done that, I don't care how successful you are at the moment, that can all change in a heartbeat. DON'T BE A SUCKER TheReaper!

It looks like most of the people in the comment section did not get the point of the video. 1. No, he isn't a genius for repairing a car. That's not the point of the video "a dude repairing his car". He is forced to do it. And the video is not about his skill to repair the car. This video is about Tesla's service practices. 2. "Dude ran out of warranty. So, Tesla doesn't have to repair his car." No, every car manufacturer in the world will have service manuals and authentic parts or at least third party parts available and they will sell it to the independent repair shops. Tesla won't. 3. If you buy a car from any traditional manufacturer you can take it to an independent repair shop if you want to save money or if your local dealership is full and cant accommodate you. You cant do it with a Tesla. You have to take it to a Tesla service center. There aren't many across the country. Owning and maintaining a car should not be this painful and time-consuming. Tesla has to change its practices.

Part of Elon's plan was to encourage more third party manufacturers of parts since they are a young and growing company they can't just dedicate their time to make extra parts for sale. He wanted to create more entrepreneurs who could sell those parts. There are already those companies popping up who sell better and longer lasting parts for Tesla cars for cheaper.

Replacement part cost is usually proportional to the cost of the car/maintenance. It cost a lot more to fix a 100K car than a 20k car. :)

Apple provides great service from my experience, but they are also not directly comparable. 2-3 year warranty periods are fine on a phone, but on a CAR, repeatedly forking out so much money for people who own the same car for over 10 years? That’s ludicrous.

Bobdingle25 you can take any other car to a million different garages and get it repaired. They don’t even need to by main dealers. You can buy manuals and parts easily on line and also buy cheaper pattern parts. With a Tesla, they won’t supplier non Tesla main dealers with parts, thy won’t provide manuals of technical help and they won’t supply diagnostics. The warranty is not the issue, it is Tesla’s refusal to slow owners or other garages to repair a Tesla.

Of course not, don't be ridiculous. He's just saying they should be readily available and reasonably affordable. He had to buy his parts from 3rd party sellers because Tesla won't sell parts directly to consumers. They want you to overpay for repairs at their service centers. As someone who has always worked on my own cars, that would be a major problem for me!

biggest PROBLEM is.....you don’t own your Tesla! if you get in a small crash that gives your car a salvage title (very easy and fast to obtain because of Tesla’s crazy expensive repairs costs) they won’t service your car anymore, you don’t get updates anymore and they disable the car from the super charging system. Same if you move out of the country and want to take your Tesla with you. They don’t even give you warranty services anymore. And yes, I have experienced all this with my Model X. VERY disappointed I had to sell my car at the end because it would have been unusable...

i read about one guy who got his whole drivetrain replaced as if it was under warranty. He had purchased a salvage car and brought it into the shop and either they didn't catch that it was a salvage title, or something else, who knows. What's crazier is that the drivetrain wasn't under warranty anyways. He basically got a ton of free work done... salvage title voided his warranty in the first place. teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-salvage-rebuilt-title-dissapointment.112246/
