Because it factually is.


Failing to maintain something- by doing no maintenance- is improper maintenance.

You can't do something improper by doing nothing. It's in the literal definition of the word. I think you are confusing "improper" with "inadequate".

I have a Toyota Camry with 300k. A 100K warranty on a car where the battery replacement cost is 20K isn't much of a bargain. At least with a hybrid the battery is only about 5k.
a quarter of the cost for 1/10 the battery, neat.

...is English not your first language?

If you are required to lube something every X miles to maintain it properly- and you fail to do it- you are maintaining it improperly.

This is phenomenally simple and basic stuff my dude.



Again- do you believe that if you owned a new ICE vehicle and never changed the oil that your failed engine would be covered under warranty?

Or would it be denied- for improper maintenance?

If maintenance requires you to DO SOMETHING then FAILING TO is improper.

How am I having to not only explain this to you-but for a third time Confused

I do this for a living. Improper requires you to take some action. Doing nothing is not a course of action legally speaking.

Quote from superslickz :
So even if your breaker box is 50 feet from your garage and you need to add an additional box they will pay that $2500+?

They will cover a "standard install" meaning a 50 foot run is fine and metal conduit and a new breaker. They will not install a new panel for you (you pay for that part if needed).

You can choose to take alternative benefits if you don't want a charger install. There's an EVgo credit package option etc if you're a renter. The install has not specific $ limit so it can be a much better value.

Continually post wrong things on the internet? That explains a lot.

I notice you've avoided answering my no-oil-change question 3 times now. Clearly you KNOW you're wrong and can't admit it.

100% wrong.

But hey don't' believe me, here's the actual government agency that regulates warranties to tell you I'm right:

https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles...-contracts

Quote from FTC :
If you ever have a warranty claim and it appears that you didn't maintain your vehicle, your claim might be denied.

Not "did something incorrectly during maintenance work" but "didn't maintain" as in- did nothing.

Tesla has had a monopoly on EV because everyone else was late, and because of the Musk hype.

Now more and more people are becoming aware Musk is a sociopath serial liar who will never give you what was promised. M3/Y are extremely overpriced if you compare to any similar car in China/Europe, If those were sold in the US no one would buy a Tesla.

They've been ripping off people for a decade with the FSD vaporware and putting lethal alpha quality software on the road. So many deaths and lies, no consequences or lawsuits, because Tesla is a US company unlike VW, Toyora who were heavily punished.

Wait a few years, lots of great EVs at much cheaper prices are coming. Tesla's are poorly made cars pretending to be luxury, with great battery tech and a focus on software. A Bolt EV without the busy dash and probably GM's UltraCruise which has been delayed for years would sell far better.

The auto pilot in a Tesla nowdays is not really that much better than the lane keep systems in Hyundai/Toyota/GM when it comes to highay driving, which is where 99% of use is. FSD is a total joke. EAP should be included in the car price.

The sweet spot for M3 owners was buying one in 2017/18 and then selling it for profit in late 21/22.

TLDR - Its still a great car but very overpriced. Demand and hype meant Tesla could inflate price while cutting down features for years (its an anicent car design). Those days are gone. I believe there will be further price drops before end of year.

Let me use an example for you. Ever heard of people getting in trouble for "improper recordkeeping"? Does this imply to you they kept no records? If so, you have it wrong.

look at this example:

Someone who is in need of medical care but is not receiving medical care…

You would not say they are getting 'improper medical care'….

You would say they are getting 'inadequate medical care'

There is a difference.

Same for car maintenance. No maintenance = inadequate. Versus changing your oil every 100,000 miles would be improper.

The same old "the competition is coming" argument.

-Ford loses money with every EV they sell. As in tens of thousands…each. Great business model, really crushing it.

-GM sold f*cking 20,600 TOTAL EVs last quarter, most of which were the bolt and with a whopping 2 total Hummer EVs sprinkled in, great job. For god sake they've had enough time at this point just look at their track record.

-Lucid is on the fast track to bankruptcy and is already diluting their shareholders to desperately stay afloat.

-Rivian delivered only 8,000 vehicles last quarter, isn't meeting their goals, and also has bankruptcy potential albeit better than Lucid.

-Honda has no idea what an EV even is. Best of luck there.

-Toyota keeps changing their EV strategy every few months with multi-year horizon goals. So good luck seeing anything this decade

-Stellantis is tossing cell phone sized batteries into their cars to cash grab tax credits at the detriment of an actual long-term plan.



It's not happening and Tesla keeps growing. How many new record quarters for Tesla, followed by record years, before you stop saying this stupid crap?

You mean like no one would buy Apple over Chinese phones because they are "just as fast"? Are you stupid?

It COULD in fact mean that.

If you're required to keep records and did not- that's improper record keeping.

How many times will it take citing a government agency telling you you're wrong before you admit it?

https://www.wthr.com/article/news...5ae242e19c

Quote :
A visit by DEA investigators found the brothers Methqal Abu-Mahfouz and Akram Abu-Mahfouz failing to record the receipt of potent painkillers and other scheduled narcotics.
So the improper record keeping they were charged with was literally failing to record stuff at all

ie Doing Nothing.


Or if you'd prefer something direct from a .gov website:

https://www.hhs.gov/about/agencie...index.html
Quote :
Petitioner's crime was primarily an offense involving improper record keeping (42 U.S.C. § 843(a)(4)(A)), the specific facts and law of the case show that it was related to a failure to properly record and document the distribution or dispensing of a controlled substance.
Specifically-
Quote :
has not maintained the required documentation regarding the 169,000 doses of Hydrocodone, such as purchase invoices, inventory logs or dispensing logs.
Not "he faked them"-- he did nothing to record them at all.

843a-a-a BTW says

Quote :
to furnish false or fraudulent material information in, or omit any material information from, any application, report, record, or other document required to be made, kept, or filed under this subchapter or subchapter II
So failing to MAKE THE RECORD AT ALL-- ie doing nothing- is, in fact, improper record keeping under federal law.



Also for a 4th time you failed to answer the simple oil change question and instead keep trying to move the goalposts further and further away from you being wrong about the bolt having "no required maintenance" when it absolutely does and Chevy also says you're wrong about it
