Look at the link John provided in post #21. Are you going to drive (or have towed) a wrecked/faulty car several hundred miles to a "Factory Authorized Service Center"?

All I'm saying is that Tesla has a long, steep, uphill road to climb in a shaky economy. I wish them the best of luck but I'm not investing just yet.

I can guarantee that here in California "Factory Authorized Service Center" is any licensed automotive repair business.

Now having warranty repairs performed for free under warranty is a different story.

Yes, in the "bad old days", I believe car makers would void your warranty if you had any repairs done outside the system during the warranty period. I think that's illegal everywhere now.

I was speaking only of (free) repairs done under warranty. That still requires having the work done at a dealer or a factory repair facility of some sort. This is pretty legitimate, really, because it insures that the work is performed by a factory-trained tech and that the parts used are OEM.
