A Tesla is like an IPhone. Throw it away after the battery’s life is over.

There are lots of companies who specialize in repairing Tesla battery packs.

Problem is, once you crack open a Tesla battery pack, the system knows and turns off your ability to super charge.

“once you crack open a Tesla battery pack, the system knows and turns off your ability to super charge”

Sounds a little like a monopoly to me

From what I understand if you need service on a tesla you have to take it to tesla for the work because so much of the car is proprietary.

Any product that has this sort of behavior is a deal breaker for me. Whether I go back to the vendor for service is my decision. I won't be anyone's captured market.

Of course, I expect that very few Tesla buyers are capable of assessing the actual cost of ownership anyway or they wouldn't be buying them.
