[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1405059, member: 35543"] The least of Tesla's problems is oil burning. They are consistently ranked as one of the least reliable/most problematic/most expensive to repair brands on the market. Perhaps you aren't familiar with the auto industry in general, but German brands are notorious for severe oil consumption issues, especially VW and BMW. There are countless TSBs, recalls, and class action lawsuits due to excessive oil consumption that were in most cases never resolved by the manufacturer. As per Japanese culture, oil consumption issues on their products are ignored regardless of the severity of the issue until they are forced by a government agency to issue a recall. Toyota covered up their 2.4 (2AZ-FE) engine oil consumption issues for over 10 years until the lawsuits and the corresponding NHTSA investigation forced them to address it. Owners got essentially nothing more than an oil change coupon. Ford identified the oil consumption issue on 3.5 Ecoboost as quickly as possible given the circumstances and issued a TSB with revised parts. That is the best you can hope for from any manufacturer; owning up to the issue and addressing it within warranty. [/QUOTE]
