Tesla Knew It Installed Defective Parts In Its EVs. It Charged Customers For Repairs Anyway
Reports about Tesla's questionable build quality have popped up occasionally over the years, but a new Reuters investigation reveals that the American automaker actively sought to hide the proverbial trash under the rug.
It blamed customers for vehicle abuse and prior damage to suspension components and denied responsibility for parts failures even though it knew some components were faulty, to begin with.
A Reuters investigation shows that Tesla knew it had installed faulty suspension and steering components in its EVs for years. These failed prematurely but owners were told they had to pay for the repairs because the vehicles were "abused" or had "prior" damage. Some cars were less than a week old.
