This Tesla Model S Owner Repairs His Own Car

Greg Furstenwerth was an early adopter of the Tesla Model S, but once the car was out of warranty he had a hard time getting the parts and service he needed. So he took on the repairs himself, and found it surprisingly easy. "If you can put together Legos you can put together a Tesla.”

This Tesla Model S Owner Repairs His Own Car | CNBC

"If you can put together Legos, you can put together a Tesla."
Seems legit.

[Catalina._]

You can even hear Scotty Kilmer laughing in the distance with his 250k miles 1994 Toyota Celica...

[ericenright]

I just can’t believe how much has broken on only a five year old car.

[JamesT]

Damn, this is a serious love hate relationship.

[garrettmccloskey]

man fixes his car and gets on national news

[Logaweed]

It’s sad that a man repairing his own car is mainstream news nowadays.

[nikolai]

He seems like a nice guy, only frustrated about the service and parts.

[everadept]

Don't buy first Gen products. Or even a 2nd or 3rd. Too much stuff that needs to be ironed out.

[schwarzerritter]

Well, this proves Tesla is not the Apple of cars.
If it was build like an iPhone, changing the door handle would brick it.

[jkadoodle]

Leaky taillights means he’s low on blinker fluid

[redofspades]

"I was treated like I didn't own a Tesla" lol

[retrogaminggenesis]

Meanwhile my 2001 suburban is only now starting to have some door handle problems.

[Oakshield]

Jesus, when he started listing the problems with the car it really makes you wonder if it's made of defective legos.

[tdv]

3:22 "If you can put together Legos you can put together a Tesla.”

[DRCK]

No parts, schematics, through the roof prices, only at their centers .... sounds like Apple

[CalvinHikes]

So this is the only car you'd ever want to have? And, they really took care of you under warranty? And your car has nearly 200, 000 miles on it and still going great? And it's the easiest car you've ever had to personally work on? It sounds more like an ad than a complaint.

[kamotetops]

The more electronics in your car, the more pain owning them post warranty.

[BananaProdigy]

Leaking tail lights? What were they leaking? Blinker fluid?

[tommyd]

He's not a mechanic... Lady we NEED an Electrician lol

[rashidkopar]

"If you can put together Legos you can put together Tesla." I'm dead😂💀
And this is from a non mechanic🔥
