I do not archive every interesting article I find, but Tesla transmission life has NOT been impressive, to say the least.
They are made about seventy miles away from me.
Maybe it's all the owners showing off the electric motor full charge torque, but they fail regularly and at fairly low mileage.
If Tesla's were really as wonderful as so many claim they would not have so many NDA's with unhappy owners.
They use customer support as a club to beat owners into signing the NDA's or not getting their "Brick" fixed.
I have to wonder with Tesla's insistence on retaining control of the car/software even after it is out of warranty and has been paid off, what happens to the adventurous folk who mod or adapt their components?
Last I looked they do not sell parts, they may repair your car if it is in warranty and they are happy with you as a good little disciple of the true faith.
So parts come from salvage which may not always be the best source.
As to Tesla/Gov. Org. taking full control of my car, not going to happen, for a variety of reasons.
Kind of like CA Gov. Nuisance and his recent electric only by 2025 mandate.
