Elmer Terminal SCOOPETTE

While it is known that Tesla has been slow to supply repair parts lately

We've got some intel (h/t anonymous source) that SUPPLYING OF REPAIR PARTS APPEARS TO HAVE CEASED ALTOGETHER.

Perfectly normal for a $60b company, right?

OP gets a wittle dent in his Model X and asks for tips on getting it repaired noting that things have been tougher in that regard lately.

Commenter #1 one notes that he was unable to get his Model S (with $14k in damage from rear ending) repaired.

Some additional commentors discuss how Service Kings have completely ceased doing Tesla work (i believe that's been reported elsewhere/nationally) as well as additional recent drop-offs in those willing to service teslas.

One smart soul had the idea to ask Tesla who the certified shops are.

He gives em all a call, and guess what - THEY'VE ALL STOPPED WORKING ON TESLAS!

also a humorous "ask @elonmusk for help" as well as another 4-month part wait anecdote.

the best/worst part of this all is that these people are in Teslaland, California. If Tesla has stopped shipping parts to CA, and CA shops have stopped working on Teslas, imagine how poorly the rest of the country will fare.

@elonmusk your company is a joke.

question to @TheJusticeDept, @FTC, @AGBecerra et al:

How is it OK for Tesla to sell a car with the promise that it can get serviced at places XYZ, and then due to circumstances under Tesla's control, make conditions so that the car cannot get serviced anywhere?

one more addendum:

One of the biggest problems in California is this type of auto-break in (pictured)

Guess what:

Tesla doesn't do this repair themselves (and the part is frequently out of stock).

Inshallah, california customer alienation secured.

addendum 2:

@hilinetrail reported on the same being the case in Colorado.

lastly shoutout @Trumpery45, a $tslaq OG who has been cataloging such service issues for MONTHS. if any reporter wants a SCOOP all you need to do is read his threads (nearing 100 entries IIRC) featuring service waits/issues across all the land.
