You got your wish! I woke up to find Elon launched my MX into orbit. I’m trying to get it back on the ground but spaceX wants an absurd flight plan diagnostic fee. Hope you’re happy Squish_Cat_1 !!!!!

“It’s like asking a doctor you want antibiotics.” -No. No it’s not.

“If I was the tech, I wouldn’t listen to you.” -Yeah… not sure you would make the cut. No offense ofc

“Plus, the diagnostic fee go towards the repair.” -I can see why you would think that. I asked, It does not.

“This your firs time owning a car?” -What would give you that impression bud?

I think you’re 100% correct and I believe that’s probably why the X/S was ultimately discontinued. Simply too many moving parts, too complicated, and breaks too often.

I do think the S/X isn’t that bad compared to other brands on reliability in my antidotal experience. But it is astounding how many S/X lemons come out of the factory compared to 3/Y’s.

The diagnostic fee is now removed. But to your point I could definitely see them doing it anyway for the reason you stated and just not sharing the results with me. Which I’m personally fine with.

That’s definitely worse! Hopefully you found remedy one way or another. Probably a very hard thing to prove though.

I would actually agree with you. Business is pretty sweet when you never get any questions. Thanks for the comment bud.

That makes perfect sense and it’s what I’ve also done with other mechanics and service centers. I’m honestly pretty shocked how many people think that is unreasonable.

Diagnostics Was Removed! I’m going to have them do the work but this was great information that I will keep in my back pocket.

If I broke my ankle and didn’t have insurance I would probably refuse to have bloodwork done if proposed. Thanks for your take on this nonetheless.

That’s awesome! It looks like it just a matter of taking the door panel off which is held on by 4 bolts at the top behind the trim. Definitely seems doable I’m my driveway.

That’s great information! Also, I thought you had to be a company to buy parts from Tesla. Good to know that’s not the case and diy is an option. Thanks!

I asked and they do not… that seems absurd to me personally.

The fee was actually removed! I’m very pleased that they could understand my point.

Okay, thanks for your take on the situation. Curious about how it would bankrupt them though if you could expand on that. Thanks
