One of the guys I work with just told me that he has to replace the headlight in his Tesla model Y. It is not like changing the bulb. He said they had to remove the bumper.
That the Tesla dealership quoted him........
$1400.
BOOM
I said if he had to change both it might be better to just junk it.
The cost of EV ownership is really underreported. Insurance, depreciation even tire wear are all significantly higher.

I recall 80-90’s corvettes, same deal. Except in a corvette, it was *just* a headlight, and you had to pull the front-end off to change it.
Do you know what a Matrix headlight is? If the total cost is 1400$, then the labor must only be 400$ or so.
P.S. price a matrix headlight from an ICE car.....Same price.
