Tesla cars keep going wrong based on a few recent reports.

@zleap @kevinrns

Even when they are driveable the build quality is sub-par, and so is the customer service to get anything fixed (I do car detailing as a hobby and lurk on a lot of detailing forums; folk are constantly complaining about the bodywork on Teslas which is quite ropey considering the price they are sold for..)

@vfrmedia @kevinrns

I am sure someone said to me recently that if you get even a small bump in a Tesla it is written off, due to the electronics in the panels.

@zleap @kevinrns

depends on country and how much local expertise (particularly at bodyshops) there is to repair them (and the scrap value can be substantial as the car can either be exported to a country which can repair it, or stripped for parts which are often used for converting oldtimers to electric drivetrains)
