And here, watch from 4min 30.
So the question is who really owns the car? Of course this won’t happen with an ICE car, maybe consumer laws will have to change.
Yep, i agree danzvtil, Tesla's line is "oh we want to make sure the repairs are done competently so we want to check etc but in the meantime your Tesla is not eligible to be part of Tesla's network until such time etc..But, lets look closer.

Crash repairs like panel & suspension damage etc is one thing but if the ev battery is in question that's another altogether different & potentially a dangerous situation, so rightly Elon's protecting himself from any future lawsuits that may arise down the track by wanting to check the quality of the repairs imo.

It comes down to the competency of the workshop who carries out the strategic repairs to a Tesla, whether they are factory trained & authorized to do the repairs & local legislation permitting independent workshops to do the repairs if they are deemed competent enough after training to do so.

And of course thats if Elon & the major oem's agree first to any legislation that may affect their bottom line lol!

cheers, Maka
