She had no way to know if the warning was a defect in the electronics or if the pressure in the tires was really too low. So, she took it to the big workshop/warehouse on the 13th. They said they had so many accident-damaged cars to deal with that they wouldn't even be able to look at her car until yesterday, the 20th. Apparently, a wave of universal blindness struck, because they never looked at her car yesterday, either. We're still waiting to hear, and are not optimistic, since we are leaving the area Monday, noon. She was hoping to be able to have her car back so she could drive her mom down to our daughter's place in the Taunus Hills. Instead, it looks like she will be stuck with my car. It is 11½ years old, but I don't even have 50,000 KM on it, so it still drives perfectly well. It just doesn't have as much room as her station wagon.
The problem isn't unique to Tesla, as neither of us drives a Tesla. Charging stations are nowhere near plentiful here, so even the thought of an electric vehicle is impractical. Her car is a hybrid, so she charges it whenever the sun shines enough here for our solar panels to deliver enough electricity for her charger to deliver. In keeping with climate change, we now do get more sunshine than before--at least three days a month instead of the usual one.
