Reply to comment by sold_snek in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg
This is just the difference between dealership repairs and independent garage repairs. Tesla isn’t interested in diving super deep and doing a one off fix. They do high level repairs which cost more.
It also shows that Teslas aren’t locked to Tesla like so many claim. You can bring it to other people to get it fixed.

You need literal electrical engineers to do it and Tesla won't touch your vehicle afterward. It's a pretty big cost to do anything outside of Tesla.
