So let's be clear. If you are under warranty then the work is done for free. If you are out of warranty then you don't care. This is only about the situation where the damage is not covered by your warranty. In that case third party repair does not by default void the warranty. Only bad work.

Note that Tesla is also authorizing 3rd party repair facilities to do warranty work.

Maybe you should actually read the warranty before making claims about it. Another swing and a miss for you.

3rd Party means what, They have purchased the specialty equipment, have certified mechanic’s? Come on Remove you head from the sand! They are willing to say about anything to get the U.S. market!

And Biden just released an Executive Order supporting right to repair.

It includes a provision directing the Federal Trade Commission to issue rules preventing manufacturers from imposing restrictions on independent device repair shops and DIY repairs.

Private sector wanted renewables but the government demanded natural gas. Private sector finally gave in on a third of the capacity in gas so the government decided to spend tax payer dollars to build the other two thirds of gas capacity at Snowy Hydro Kuri Kuri. A total waste of taxpayer money for a plant that will be used at 2% capacity factor at best. 

Jay - you've confused power generation with gas extraction.. you were talking about gas extraction and mining subsidies. Now you're trying to claim you were talking about gas power plants. The government has stepped in to build an additional gas POWER plant because the private sector is responding to state government policies to build renewables, and something is needed to smooth out the inevitable wild swings in supply.. sure the plant may be used just 3 per cent of the time (I suspect the figure is green propaganda) but without it then 3 per cent of the time the grid may be browned-out and 3 per cent is unacceptable. Jay, I hope you'll do a lot better than this .. for now this discussion is over..

No I was talking about coal and gas plants. Here is the quote from my original post:

"Ah, poor Mark...The big question is how much longer can the Aussie gov't continue to not only subsidize your coal and natural gas plants but order them to be built? it is all very socialist authoritarian of you."

The government stepped in because the private sector wanted batteries. The swings in supply are better covered by batteries that work every day and don't just sit around losing money. That is why AGL is closing down one of its gas plants and replacing it with a battery. 

And here is another battery that will be working while Kuri Kuri is just sitting there:

Big $300m battery to be built without government aid in market first

Victoria will get Australia's first grid-scale battery built without government support by the end of 2022, marking what its proponent says is a tipping point in the electricity sector as storage prices tumble.

Lumea, the commercial arm of TransGrid, began taking expressions of interest on Monday for a giant 300-megawatt battery to be built at its Deer Park substation, west of Melbourne.

Again, you don't get it. The commercial producers do not have an economic inducement to cover the holes in their capital's production capacity AFTER renewables are in place. However,their customers do need the 100% service uptime. So regulators step in and force the solution to plug the hole that the commercial Battery+renewables installations leave. That is why the NG peaker is there. For when batteries run out but power demand doesn't during the renewables downtime. .

Let's be clear, the regulator said there was no need for the peaker. This was just government corruption.

They cited evidence from the Australian Energy Market Operator (Aemo) that there would not be a shortfall in dispatchable electricity – generation that can be turned on when required to support variable solar and wind – when Liddell closed. 

Mountain said several further commitments, including for several large batteries, had been made since Aemo’s forecast, strengthening the case that there would be a surplus of supply in 2023. The report said there were five large-scale batteries in the national electricity grid, seven under construction and 18 nearing final commitment.

The report cited Aemo’s integrated system plan, which modelled a lowest-cost optimal grid for 2040. It said Aemo found dispatchable gas generation could be needed for as little as 13 hours a year by 2030 under the rapid shift to renewable energy now under way.

You don't get how much renewables and storage are coming online. That peaker is never going to be used, I was being way to generous with 2%. The job of the government was to build interconnects so that different regions could reinforce others but instead they wasted their money on this. The states had to step in and build the interconnects themselves.

That's for CCGT.

OCGT is much lower (no bottoming cycle). 40+ percent sounds about right. GE's OC efficiency or that machine (they call it "SC, for simple cycle) is quoted as 43%.

Until you get T3 (turbine inlet temp) up to about 3200 degrees F, OCGT will languish in the 40%'s

Unfortunately, at 3200 degrees F, the turbine first stage will liquefy.   That's as bad as the "she loves me, she loves me not" scenario.

BTW, the rule of thumb is:

"It takes 10 years of development to increase power plant efficiency by 1%"

Electric Vehicle Registrations Increase Over 60% YOY In Australia — Greater Surge To Come

Great news. However, we have to realise that this comes off a low base. Penetration of the new vehicle market by EVs (BEVs and PHEVS) is estimated to reach 2% in Australia during 2021. It may actually exceed this, as pundits predict that Tesla will ship in 15,000 cars from China and Nexport is bringing in the more affordable BYD.

That is how the real world works. After the warranty period expires, third party mechanics can play a role.

Most warranty documents require regular servicing with the manufacturer, no third party, which would void the warranty. After warranty period is expired, you can use third party.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, EV’s are going to be so technical that your average mechanic’s will not have the necessary equipment to work on, This is not by accident, Auto Manufacturer’s make dealers, licensed dealers train and purchase specific equipment to work on new models for a reason, same reason Steve Jobs wanted End to End on motherboards!
