My bad, I thought the radio today said there was a recall. On the other hand, it doesn’t sound like just China.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-safety-investigation/u-s-agency-opens-probe-into-115000-tesla-vehicles-over-suspension-issue-idUSKBN287172 Yeah, those Chinese are abusive drivers. Not like Americans who drive like little old ladies going to church on Sunday. Of course, if all the American Tesla drivers are sleeping while the car drives itself, maybe it is true.

I'm pretty sure Chuck has gone through several electric cars in that ten year period, so it's not really that amazing, if you're getting a brand new car and replacing it every few years.

Chuck’s experience of no problems ever is amazing. My 2014 Subaru has something like 118,000 miles on it and has had a couple wheel bearings replaced (covered by extended warranty) and the front control arm bushings replaced. Not sure being electric instead of gas would have prevented that. It also had an exhaust hanger break, I guess that wouldn’t have happened with an electric vehicle. Oh, there was also a recall on the floormats because some people had an uncontrolled acceleration problem and they couldn’t find a defect so they blamed it on floormats bunching up. And there was some kind of recall where they upgraded the engine firmware and checked for predetonation damage (didn’t find any). I consider these repairs routine for a car with >100,000 miles. Never a single problem seems stellar.

My BIL has a Tesla and has had door issues multiple times. Every time it’s a several day wait for the truck to come pickup the vehicle. Then a few more days to get it back. He hates the thing.

In that time, I did have one issue (bad contactor in the battery pack), but Tesla fixed it for free. Overall, it's been much less hassle to deal with than any other vehicle I've owned.
