We are in agreement about the bottom line. Again, the poster did not claim they paid out of pocket for any of this work. The experience of whether they're seeing estimated values (even if not paid) seems to vary by customer.
I should have been clearer: they didn't claim they paid for the work that was covered under the warranty. Slashed tires and other vandalism and body damage due to accidents obviously aren't covered and those repairs would have to be borne by the customer. (It's also true that those things aren't the results of defects and thus aren't directly Tesla's fault.)
