    And nearly impossible to get serviced. The worst thing about doing personal auto claims was trying to find a shop that could fix the damn things.

    Edit: Teslas, this specific to Teslas.

      Mine’s been in the shop since NOVEMBER.

      Everyone should stay the hell away from Telsas until they can get their service shit together. As much as I love that car, fuck Tesla.

        Almost a year?

        At what point does insurance step in and consider it a write off or something?

        A year making it “unrepairable”

          Insurance is, unfortunately, not being particularly helpful about it. Their latest email suggested contacting the media about it.

              Doubtful, but it’s possible. I’ve started getting legal advice from family friend lawyers. And there’s at least one class action on this very issue I’ll am looking into.

                Well, good luck with all that.

                There should seriously be a law around repair times. There’s no possible scenario where that’s acceptable.

        Damn, my Chevy bolt has been in the shop like three times for various work and the dealer has been able to turn it around within an hour or two every time. Well, except for swapping the battery which took them about a day. They even replaced both front and rear axles in about a half a day.
