YouTuber Fights Tesla Over Warranty Claim After Installing Tank Tracks On His Model 3

The YouTubers snow track joyride compromised the vehicle’s drivetrain by applying excessive amounts of stress on both the front and rear axle, suggests Michael in his tweet. “Tesla states snow track with 50% gear reduction caused excess heat on the drive unit 5mph and less.” 

According to “Tesla Parts, Body and Paint Repair Limited Warranty” handbook, damages as a result of vehicle modifications, including the installation of accessories, would not be covered.

He tried to turn his Model 3 into a frickin snowmobile to get youtube views. I'm not sure how he would expect any manufacturer to cover the obvious damage this would cause. If I glued wings to the sides of a Model 3 and dropped it from a plane, I'm not going to expect Tesla to cover the resulting damages.

This guy deserves zilch. Tesla should refuse to warranty anything on his car.
