Re:Tesla’s $16k Quote for a $700 Fix Is Why Right to Repair ... by Meph504 on Monday July 12, 2021 @09:46PM (#27816941)
Ok, So your argument is that someone at a Telsa factory did shady shit, so then the company should accept any third parties fixes?

As far as the shoddy work, people keep acting like Telsa is a hivemind, and that every dept. in the company had signed off on these bad choices as a matter of corporate policy. Doesn't seem far more likely somebody working in the factory was worried about making quota, and did a very shitty job?

And as far as the "Not every repair needs to be done with perfect oem replacement parts." I agree, but that should be the owner of the car's choice, and in this case the car is owned by Telsa.

"You shouldn't have the right to make shitty choices! That's the Big Corporations' prerogative!"
