That doesn’t change the fact that the car needs a $40K repair simply because he hadn’t plugged it in for weeks!

It was written all over the owners manual and prior to purchase, this was detailed by Tesla.. Don’t drain the battery to 0. I would have stopped at the purchase. BUT if I accepted the purchase (like apparently this guy did), well yes, I’d say it’s user error. And let’s face it. Who really knows what he really did. He says weeks. It could have been months. He could have abused the crap out of it. Bottomline, he ain’t telling the truth.
