Man from Oklahoma says his cheap Tesla Model S broke so bad you won’t believe the cost to repair it

This man from Oklahoma says his cheap Tesla Model broke – really badly.

As with any car, electric or diesel, when they break, they can cost quite a lot to fix.

Well, this Tesla was no different.

The price ended up coming to an eye watering total – just wait until you see what went down.

Admit it – Tesla is the car that springs to mind when thinking about electric vehicles

From its iconic Model S to the ever popular Cybertruck, their fleet of design and innovation carries quite the reputation.

Let’s face it, there’s not a lot Tesla can’t do.

Its vehicles have been used for a variety of wacky and wonderful things.

This Cybertruck was even used to power a tiny house – impressive, right?

Another man managed to camp in his Tesla overnight – so it’s a car as well as a camper van? Which is incredible!

As with anything though, things can turn sour – and when they go wrong they go really wrong – as one Tesla owner found out the hard way.

The initial diagnosis of the car seemed digestible but what actually unfolded will make your eyes water.

At first, Tesla managed to remotely diagnose the issue as a failed AC compressor.

And although $1800 wasn’t the best price in the world, it could have been a whole lot worse.

Or so the owner thought.

Happy as can be, he ended up shipping his Model S off to Tesla to get fixed up and good as new.

Only, the issue was a lot more sinister than first assumed…

Thousands of bucks and a new car part later, and it’s still not fixed

As the Model S was the P85 performance model it came to the driver’s attention that it was notorious for coolant leaking – that’s not what you want to hear is it?

And the price? Well that was about to hit his bank like a ton of bricks.

The cost of the repair went from $1,800 to a whopping $7,085…. uh oh.

After having a think and a shop around for used car parts to finish the repair with, the owner came to the conclusion that a used part would total up to $4,000 alone.

So, he says it made sense for him to go with Tesla and its quote of $7,085.

Don’t fear though as all was not lost.

In fact, after the car was fixed, the owner sold it on and actually made up quite a lot of the loss.

He only actually ended up a few thousand bucks out of pocket, after all.

Which is one way to make the best out of a bad situation.

Because snapping up a 2025 version of the Model S will set you back $81,630 – although it does have rave reviews.
