Man took his 186,000-mile Model S to Tesla and told them to fix everything they spotted, he got a staggering bill

This man took his 186,000-mile Model S to Tesla and asked them to fix every issue they uncovered.

YouTuber Electric Vehicle Man wanted to see how many problems his car had acquired after a couple of hundred miles on the road.

With it racking up nearly 200,000 miles, he expected that there’d be a fair few things to iron out.

But he had no idea he was going to be landed with the bill that he received.

What needed to be fixed on this 186,000-mile Tesla Model S?

Upon first glance, some problems were immediately apparent – including a hole in one of its tires.

“[The car] is in a bit of a state,” the owner admitted.

“It’s an ex-company car, it’s been up and down the [highway], done lots of miles.

“It needed one hell of a clean.”

Now that the deep clean had been done, it was time to get onto the more substantial – and costlier – fixes.

Repairs identified included a charge port sensor fault, wiper linkage damage, and suspension issues that caused the uneven tire wear.

Due to its EV expertise and the issue of parts availability, Tesla was the best bet for getting the car back in good condition.

There was a whole lot that needed doing, including diagnostics, replacements, repairs, and validation tests.

This is how much it cost to repair the Tesla

All in all, how much did all this work cost him?

It came to a price of $4,101 [£3,050], which is a pretty substantial bill.

Admittedly, it could always be worse.

For example, this Florida man shelled out $12,000 for a repair bill after he spilled a bottle of water in his Hyundai.

Meanwhile, Tyler Hoover from Hoovies Garage spent more than $200,000 fixing his broken cars over the span of 2025.

So by comparison, it wasn’t too bad.

Fortunately, the battery health report determined that the battery was in good health, so that’s a positive at least.

The whole thing left him questioning whether or not he should continue driving the car to 200,000 miles.
