Featured The Tesla monopoly on repair and parts; Why I won't buy one.

Listening to this guy is a little bit tiring for me, so here an automated summary of the Tesla relevant transcript:

 

I have not had delays in repairs.
I know of multiple 3rd parties that repair Teslas. People that have had their Teslas repaired at these locations rave about them.

IF Tesla is not following the law, they should be found guilty and. Pay an appropriate penalty.

 

And they lobby against right to repair bills.
Who doesn’t want the Right to Repair? Companies worth over $10 trillion

 

i don't understand what technical problems for other mfg's wanting to use tesla superchargers,
and musks promises sharing tech have to do with parts availability.

scotty must be shorting stock.

 

People said similar things about Prius parts and repairs, especially hv batteries and inverters. The batteries would always be $4,000 and sealed; many parts would be only Toyota sourced at their huge parts department markups.

 

Or just has a strong opinion to get the views.

 

After 5 years and 139,000 miles, we have different requirements:

• Replaced wheel bearings - bought parts from Tesla and installed myself
• Replaced underbody panels - original plastic impregnated plastic failed, replace with solid, injection molded parts.
  • More road debris - plan to replace with more robust cover and insulate battery bottom.
• Replaced overhead link with 3d party custom part - awesome, handles latent design defect.
• Lost access to auto bay workshop, inventing my own.

So I drove to Dixie Gun Works in Union City TN:

• 480 miles
• $33.97 charging costs
  • $15.00 - four bone rib plate In Union City
  • $200.00 - Dixie Gun Works black powder, caps, patches, balls, and conicals
• Left at 10 AM and arrived 10 PM
  • 45 min - shopping at Dixie Gun Works
  • 45 min - BBW in Union City
  • ~10hr 30min - driving, charging, overlapped walking the dogs

Just ordinary driving, an errand, nothing special.
