“That’s why you should never buy a Tesla, people,” said the man, calling the car a “piece of garbage.”

Apparently, fixing the battery problem would cost him $20,000 more than the $140,000 he paid in 2013 because he had to buy a new battery.

The car required a replacement battery since the other supposedly was completely exhausted from traveling more than 77 thousand miles away. Tesla specifies in its sales contracts that the batteries are only made to withstand distances between 300,000 and 500,000 miles.

Zelaya complained about the charge they wanted to make him for the battery because he did not have the problem that they had told him. He made the initial report just to get support and get into his car.

Later, as he could, he took the car to an agency due to a warning he received about “high voltage” which would cause the Model S caught fire, and such an accident would not be covered by the warranty.

Receiving no help from TeslaMario took the car to the regulator Transport Canadawhere he was told that the battery had actually rusted because the A/C drain hose was sitting on top of the battery box and leaking water had spoiled it.
