Tesla anecdote I heard yesterday. Formerly loyal Tesla owner is pissed off because the battery fuse in his car "blew" as the result of a pre-programmed time out. Nothing wrong with the car, the fuse blows after you drive a certain number of miles.
Tesla wants $2000 to replace it he says, but he found one on eBay from a wrecked Tesla for $50 and plans to replace it himself.
Says he won't buy another Tesla as a result of this obvious "rip off".
