Yeah, that is what I picked up from this post. But, I still don't understand how towing and recharging the batteries can cost $40k. Either the original claim about the cost involved in recharging is wrong, or this post claim that the fix is to recharge the batteries is wrong. There is a third highly unlikely case that Tesla is fleecing the customers, who in its mind, made the mistake of letting the charge fall down to zero.
For the sake of electric vehicles, we need to know which of the three scenarios is true.
