  • Foo on Tesla Repair Center

    From Wade Garrett@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 5 08:26:46 2023
    A buddy has a Model 3 in need of some warranty repairs. He lives in
    Alabama== where there ain't no Tesla repair centers-- so he made an
    appointment at the nearest one-- in Atlanta.

    He arrives after a three hour drive over for his 8:00 AM appointment
    only to be told "the system" is down and the shop is on hold. Unclear
    whether the problem is local, regional, national or what.

    Buddy points out that the repairs on his car require wrenches and a
    screw driver, not a computer...but no joy.

    Five hours later, he's still sitting in the waiting room with no
    estimate on when the repairs would be started. So he demands-- and
    gets-- a free loaner and drives home to Alabama...only to have to return
    next week after his car is fixed.

    All my 1965 cars get repaired in my drive with my tools.
