Almost, except the Tesla store just says you have to buy a new (authentic) key fob rather than a new car.

Apple or other authorized repair shops can still fix phones that have been disabled due to security chain errors.

I don't think so, see my other comment.

Hunh. My bad, I was under the impression (based off some other comments) that replacing the home button/finger scanner with a legit one and updating the security pair would make the issue go away, but looks like I was wrong.

and how can I be sure that in the Apple store they are fixing the phone with a thrustworthy component? and so on... Apple excuses make no sense this time.
