@elonmusk Response from Tesla Service Ctr

@elonmusk Am I responsible for manufacturing defect? It’s not even week and getting bill for faulty steering wheel. Isn’t it company’s responsibility to fix it? I would greatly appreciate refund and keep the car as we lost trust and family is not feeling safe driving it back.

@elonmusk @TeslaOwnersWW @Tesla @TeslaSUV Tesla service center removed charge. However not assuring responsibility, if steering wheel or any other manufacturer defect cause an accident? Who’s #responsable for #safety?

Thank you all for continue support. Also, like to extend my thanks to Woodbridge Police for safeguarding family during this incident. Tesla dealership called and apologized for the incident. I got below 2 options, I greatly appreciate your vote.

@elonmusk
