Tesla Will Now Let You Finance Your EV Repairs... With Interest Rates as High as 36% APR - FuelArc News

Let’s say your Cybertruck pops a tire, or needs a new windshield, or you just looked at it funny and the glued-on stainless steel panels fell off. No worries! Tesla’s got you covered. You can now finance your repairs through Affirm or Klarna, because if there’s one thing America needs, it’s more high-interest debt attached […]

With Tesla, you can turn a $2,442 windshield installation into a $3,174 windshield installation through the power of interest.

This is being reported by the Teslasphere as an “excellent option” to restore affordability to a car market that desperately needs more affordability.

Only, neither of those numbers is even in the same ballpark as affordable.

    Drive to your local LKQ distribution center with stock and an extra $100. You won’t make it past the 3rd installer you see show up in a van before someone will take your $100 with a new windshield installed within 30 minutes. Never buy a car unless LKQ makes reproduction parts. That is where 90% of auto body repair parts come from in the USA. Anyone can walk in and pay cash too.
