| Finnish Man Blows Up His Tesla to Protest $22,600 Repair Cost |
| 2021-12-28 |
| [Breitbart] A Finnish Tesla owner received a repair bill totaling almost half of what he initially paid for the car. His response? Have YouTubers blow up the car with 66 pounds of dynamite and post the video rather than pay the hefty bill. The Verge reports that a Finnish Tesla owner named Tuomas Katainen recently received a quote on having the battery in his 2013 Tesla Model S vehicle replaced. He was shocked by the bill of $22,600, perhaps not knowing Tesla’s notorious reputation for massive repair costs. Katainen discussed his experience with the car stating: "Well when I bought that Tesla, the first 1,500km [932 miles] were nice. Then, error codes hit." Video of blast found at this link. |

| #2 Ideally, a market for replacement batteries would lead to third-party vendors and some price competition. In practice, the market is tiny and Tesla would probably fight it tooth and nail, just as Crapple does with replacement parts for their slavery-made phones. |

| #1 Repaired? The Verge reports that a Finnish Tesla owner named Tuomas Katainen recently received a quote on having the battery in his 2013 Tesla Model S vehicle replaced. At sometime those magical electrical cars have got to have their batteries replaced, not to mention disposed of (as in NIMBY). |
