Imagine this. You pay $85K for a S model Tesla .
You transfer your brand new beautiful, perfectly running EV on a flatbed tow over to the Saleen guys
in Corona, CA. They walk around it for awhile and then start taking their wrenches to it .
A couple of weeks later the EV is laying in parts all over the floor of the Saleen shop.
Every Saleen replacement part must be special ordered and is delivered UPS COD.
Oops we do not have any money today so send those Saleen upholstered seats and floor mats back to the vendor. Three months later and you are starting to panic, where is my car ? You call Saleen and the phone rings until you hear dial tone...now you panic and book a flight to LA and drive your car rental to Corona.
You walk in the front door and nobody is there so you go around the back.
You find a young kid with a wrench and ask him where your car is . He points inside. You cannot believe your eyes. There are 20 S Model Tesla's, Mustang's, Baracuda's, Camaro's and a Ford Focus ? in various stages of completion.
You cannot tell which are being torn down and which are being put back together.
You search for yours by finding the color first and then diving into the glove box to find the VIN # in the owners manual. Third try and you find you half Tesla . Your soo pissed you leave to call your attourney and you bump into the UPS driver. Your lawyer manages to threaten Saleen to have your car completed a couple of weeks later.
Now the flatbed tow driver drops the new Saleen Tesla on your driveway, but he wants full payment before he leaves. Do you write him a check for $40,000 ?
Let's say you do . Now you get in your new Saleen Tesla.
Will it start? Maybe ? It does, so you take it for a spin.
It's fast. It corners well, you are getting happy. Then, the battery dies after two miles and there is smoke coming out of the air ducts.
You tow the car home . Plug it in and again the battery dies quickly and more smoke from the air ducts.
For some reason the radio is stuck on a Spanish station and you cannot change it .
You call Tesla . You tow the car to Tesla. They see the SALEEN sticker
and they ask you what you did to their car !
They tell you that the warranty is void and they cannot fix it because they do not know what Saleen did to it.
If you want them to fix it they have to tear it apart and restore it back to it's original parts and condition. Another $40K down the drain. Who would sign up for this ?
