The owner of a $155,000 Tesla Model S Plaid told the Elon Musk-focused outlet Teslarati that he received a call that any car owner would dread just days after dropping off his vehicle for service in Plano, Texas.
The man, identified only as Jeff, said he left his car at the Tesla Service Center in Plano on Aug. 24 and was contacted by the service center on Aug. 30.
According to the report, the Tesla employee said four words every car owner dreads: “We have some bad news.” Then he added, “Your car was totaled.”
Jeff, understandably, couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “I thought it was a joke,” he told Teslarati.
“I found out very soon it was not a joke.”
Jeff said that when he arrived at the service center the next day, he was greeted by his black Model S Plaid. The passenger rear door had been crushed inward, and its airbags were deployed.
