This smells like an impending class-action lawsuit.

Good luck with that. Tesla does not even provide spare parts. If you fix your vehicle, they may disable charging remotely at their own will!

Not entirely true. They disable supercharging on vins that have been reported as totaled.

You can order a lot of parts directly from service centers if you know the part number. They even rent access to repair manuals.

Charging has been disabled even on non-totaled vehicles and 3td party chargers. Tesla has a right to kick out some cars from their charging network, but this is not the case.

Did you actually try to order spare parts from Tesla? It is just marketing BS.

Yes, ordering parts was easy.

Fair enough, my info is couple of years old.

"In particular, we are hoping to engage with interested Tesla owners to determine how we can work together and collectively improve the situation."

Ah, the sweet, sweet euphemism... Bring the lawsuits!
