Not Just Cleaning Hacks
Though these hacks are helpful for cleaning and car maintenance, what about what happens when something is actually wrong with your car and needs to be fixed? Popular Youtuber Rick Rebuilds, who is Rich Benoit, posted a video on Sunday that highlights how his shop was able to fix a Tesla’s battery pack. The Tesla, a model 3, had been damaged and needed the battery pack replaced. Tesla wanted 16,000 dollars for this, but Benoit’s shop was able to fix it for 7o0 dollars. This video has since received 32 thousand likes. According to “The Drive,” Benoit and his team were able to fix the small part “using a brass fitting like you’d find at any home improvement store” provided that the repairs done by Benoit would only cost about $700 which is nearly 23 times less than Teslas
estimate.
This brings up the idea of the right to repair. Before Joe Biden signed an executive order that targets car manufacturers the right to repair their own products, some companies didn’t actually allow it. Benoit and his team wanted to push towards right-to-repair laws so that many consumers won’t have to rely on their own manufacturing companies to get expensive repairs like this particular Tesla. However, if you can’t DIY it, it’s better to go to car servicing experts.
