I like the first comment about how brass will warp and fail. Brass is stronger than plastic, which already failed from a simple road hazard.

Yeah but now the next time you pull it into a Tesla repair shop they will refuse to do any fixes because the device has been illegally modified.

These fucking leftists love this garbage.

"Monolithic tech giant selling overpriced status symbol pretending to be a utility product for absurd mark-up, anti-consumer repair practices, probably entirely reliant on slave labor in their supply chain, and an entire identity built on social justice and environmental responsibility? Just soy on the dotted line!"

On one hand anyone should be able to repair what they want, on the other hand jewish lawyers are so happy to sue that I see this being a problem if the vendor needs to repair something someone else already modified.

Gas cars have done just fine when it comes to letting people fix their own shit

But will void the warranty.

I doubt the person was concerned at 1/2 the price of a new one.

Technically they have to prove the unauthorized repair is the cause of the failure initiating the warranty claim.

Yep the Magnuson-Moss act.

It's a godsend for people that would rather change their own oil on a new vehicle than pay $60 for it and sit in a waiting room for 2 hours.

Ty for mentioning the name. I don't remember the name but know it exists.

Not true. They make the determination to void the warranty and the burden of suing the manufacturer for monetary damages caused by work or repairs performed that should have been covered is placed squarely on you. And I promise that their warranty clearly states unauthorized repairs and modifications are grounds for the void.

They can claim what they want. But that isn't what the law actually says. You can't change a tire and claim it broke the electric window. According to you, they can and are legally protected when doing so. That's not how it works, by law.

16k to replace the battery due to one small part failing. People flocked and worship EVs, also they shove them down everyones throat. Now if you have a battery problem you don't want anyone messing around with high voltage.

If these eco faggots wanted to save the environment, they would care less about MPG standards and focus on making all cars built durable and reliable.

A fucking hose connector.

No shit. $14$ at the Home Depo fixed that shit. The rest is a fu to the stupid owner.

A shitty plastic hose connector and a plastic pan to go over it. Probably $200 worth of (retail) parts.

I'm sure Tesla is going to make that plug replaceable next time. I guess Tesla doesn't want people messing with the battery, because if you accidentally short it, it will burn down you car and everything surrounding without a way for you to put off the lithium fire.

This is going to be a problem in heavily populated cities where people live in apartment buildings with integrated garages since the electric cars sometimes just go up in flames.

If tesla finds out, they will likely remove this cars ability to go to a supercharger station, stating risk of fire.

This might be a trend with EVs, smart chargers that refuse to charge vehicles that have modified batteries or electronics, for the name of safety.

This was just a coolant line for the battery, not an electrical line. It's a cheap ass plastic fitting that's (not at all) protected by another piece of cheap plastic on the bottom of the car.

After all, it's not like there's ever been any road debris that you'd run over. I've certainly not run over many things, including a broken shopping cart that was in the middle of the road.
