Yes, over time I suppose this will fix itself. A shame Tesla isn't more helpful however. In time there will be a cadre of people who know what to do for them. The internet will spread this information quickly and easily.
Looking over the opposite end, an elderly neighbor purchased a restored early Model T Ford over the internet. Had it shipped to him without ever seeing it. It looks nice, but he couldn't get it to run. Said the motor was supposed to be fully rebuilt better than new, but he suspected the other party had been less than truthful. Now model T's aren't much like more modern cars, as in not even much like 1930's cars. Where do you find an expert mechanic for a 100 year old car. Not at your Ford dealer anymore.
Well my Dad happens by, who is a pretty darn good mechanic with anything (until you get into electronically controlled fuel systems). He asks about how it runs. Hears not at all. He inquires if the neighbor will let him make some adjustments. Asks for a dime, a matchbook, and about 3 wrenches which we round up. He starts making adjustments, and has it running in a few minutes. Makes more adjustments and works on the brakes and some other items. In a half hour it is running perfectly like a brand new model T. I had no idea my Dad knew that stuff. And who knows the last time it was of any use to him. I remember a couple times he showed some people how to drive their model T. And no it isn't straightforward if you've never done it. My Dad obviously liked getting to use what seems now useless information and experience one last time.
It could be that the risk for a second vehicle is considered less than the primary one but this won't explain the wide variation in cost across the industry.
