Seems like there are discussions on who actually owns a Tesla and it reminded me of something Jack Rickard of EVTV said may years ago and he was a big Tesla fan. I think it was something to the effect that Tesla seems to think they own the vehicle even after they sell it to the customer. If I remember correctly Tesla was doing a lot of talking about customer right to repair, well I guess as long as you follow the rules and pay for the documentation? Just to be clear, I have nothing against Tesla and believe they did get the EV ball rolling. Now Aptera is also talking about right to repair. They are claiming if you have a problem you will be able to contact Aptera, determine what the problem is and if necessary a replacement part will be shipped within 24 hours. You will also get the documentation on how to do the repair. You can then either do the repair yourself or have a local shop do the repair. Well Aptera just had their first real crash test, with a BMW no less, where the wheel cover was destroyed. The picture looks like a simple fix but so far I have not heard if anything else was damaged. But consider the same impact to the side of a Tesla and the time and cost involved to repair it. I was an early adopter of Apple computers and in the old days I always felt if you couldn't figure out how to use the computer for most of what it was capable of doing without reading the documentation it really wasn't what I wanted. Todays EVs are supposed to make life easier and actually give you more time to do other things. With all the technology now part of EVs it seems you really need to take a course in how to use the vehicle and I guess some people are making money on teaching Tesla owners how to get the most out of their vehicles. Really?
