Looking at a $2700 bill for a car computer malfunction m replacement after less than 5 years owning it. Bought in August 2021 and so 4.75 years just about.

I heard from the rep it’s 1 year parts and labor warranty. (What drove me insane was that there was a $260 diagnostic fee. I can’t believe Tesla charges a diagnostic fee let alone $200+.)

Anyway, curious how long you guys have had experiences with this new computer car replacement. How much longer will it last?

I bought my Tesla model 3 back in August 2021 and the adaptive emergency brakes, the detection of my ripped around me (like cars, people, etc), sentry, etc is broken and Tesla service said I need to replace the car computer for $2,800. Wtf? Is this legit? How is it possible that I need to do this in less than 5 years, anyone else need to do this, isn’t there a warranty?

I’ll be in London for the summer and was hoping to join a morning run club. Any run clubs near Regents Park / Hyde Park?

I’m thinking about FIRE’ing the next year or so but I noticed that healthcare may cost $35-40k with the Illinois exchange. I had always budgeted for $20k so $35-40k is pretty nuts to me. A lot of it is due to my son needing ABA therapy and just a lot of therapies or OT for the family.

Has anyone else navigated this? Is it just suck it up and pay the higher costs or are there ways to get around this? Obviously after a year or two I can likely get some credits due to reduced income but the next year won’t be able to do that.
