Not ok insane I have seen the quote from Tesla myself. I was the one who told him to try a independent. Tesla is well known for suspension issues/ lawsuits but that is insane.

He found a independent Tesla shop it will be interesting to see what they say parts are also available for 1/4 of what Tesla charges if needed. He has an appointment next Wed.

On one hand, I think you're underlining my point of not buying anything lower on the Ford production line than an F150, like the Maverick in the post I was replying to.
On the other hand... I've put a little short of 300,000 km between two F150s and I can't really say either one suffered any "gremlins" that couldn't be attributed to wear/use. Maybe my cluster, which started acting up around 240k km. If you said that should last the life of the truck I'd probably agree... but even then, it was like $300 to get it fixed at a cluster specialist.
which ties back to the great thing about my F150 I mentioned already: stuff is just dirt cheap
I found a set of OEM rims for like $250 for the whole set in Brantford. Literally cheaper to get nice chrome take off OEM rims on kijiji to use for my winter tires than it is to buy steel rims that will look like junk in a few years from Canadian Tire.
When my rear bumper was starting to show some rust around the rear parking sensors, I literally found an open box black rear bumper for my gen of F150 for $200 on Marketplace...
It's like when I had my Sportster and spent $1,000 on upgrades from Marketplace for it over a winter that probably would've cost me 3-4x as much brand new. When you have such a popular vehicle and you want something for it, you never order it, you just watch, and wait, because someone will post it very soon.
