I'm saying I put the same level of effort, as a consumer, into avoiding a $7k repair as I would a $40k repair. That is: maximum effort.
I agree. So the solution is simple. Telsa should institute a completely unconditional agreement to replace your batteries should they fail for any reason for $7K (or less). They are the ones that actually are more aware of what can brick one of these things so let them demonstrate the unlikeliness with their pocket book. And we both agree that $XK leads to no difference in attention from the owners.
Fair enough. I admit that $40k is mad spicy for a repair resulting from some basic user error, and even if the incidence for this problem is 10% (much higher than Tesla would claim, I'm sure), we're talking about raising the price of a Roadster from $100k to ~$104k to cover the amortization.
