'try to keep up'. Please quit with the personal jibes, else I'll make my own back, per below (just on this occasion).apvbguy said:try to keep up, the failures amounted to a loose wire, fixed by a tie wrap, there is no massive failures and there are no massive financial issues
Think about it for yourself, rather than be a sheep. That is a fault found in some cars. We are not privy to information suggesting that was the only fault with all the cars.
In any case, you've still blundered into missing the point.....
Whether or not transmission faults were found, the point I made was that if they have been able to get the transmission supplier to accept an 8 year unlimited mileage warranty then it is no direct cost to Tesla to offer that extended warranty on the transmission.
Tesla have excelled so far at making 'offers' that look amazing but have very little impact on their business. Remember, they are the company that put the price up on cars that people had already put deposits down on, and said they could pay the higher amount or have their deposits back. They aren't going to miss a trick if they can pass the liabilities back to suppliers, and if it has been found that all the transmission replacements were not needed and were loose harnesses, then the transmission supplier would have then been even more ready to make such an offer to accept the warranty liabilities Tesla are now declaring.
