AutoElectNG:
Another issue or clarification

A factory manual will never teach you how to repair a bad engine or a bad transmission.

It will give you an exploded view of both...however the intricacies of repairing both demand or require specialized training dedicated specifically to that....I guess that is what is meant by card level versus component level repairs

Take note of the background of the Telsa guy

Computers, electronics, that's exactly my background as well

Not everyone can attempt this

tensazangetsu20:

I talked about the background earlier on. The person has to be mechanical and electrical savvy.

AutoElectNG:
I went through some portions of the thread...is there a reason why the manufacturer tells the dealer to replace something as an assembly when just a part, and not the entire assembly is bad...I found an interesting comment on the thread hence this question

tensazangetsu20:

It's just to make more money and rip people off. The dealership is ran as a business to make a profit and expect them to always take the most expensive sides to repairs.

what he said there is the truth, my friends younger brother who finished from gtc onitsha five years ago had an encounter recently, he’s good with conduit wiring and house hold electrical engineering works. He has worked for banks,hotels and other multinationals with just secondary school education. They called him for wiring work in one of these companies in Lagos, while he was doing his job, a Japanese manufacturing equipment was being installed in the said company with a Japanese technician who flew in from Tokyo. Why they were installing it, by accident they damaged the powering system, the Japanese guy tried everything within the book to repair that machine to no avail,he was cofused that he had to call his home company about the damage, they instructed him to put the machine back in the container so that it can be shipped back to Japan . My friends kid bro was told to stop work, he demanded to know why and was told that about the damage to the machine , he demanded to see it, saw the extent of the damage, told the manager that he can repair it and they started laughing at him, he requested for some amount of money with which he want down to Alaba, bought some components, returned back fixed it did some electrical abracadabra, on the machine and it started working, the Japanese was marveled by what he did, was asking him which school abroad did he graduate from.........bottom line, dude is in Japan now, never underestimate the talent we have here in Nigeria

Nigerian high school graduate performing miracle I bet his Ssce results was as good as his miracles. Stop coming up with hearsay stories to to address a general situation.

That Porsche is probably still under warranty, and any tech working on it who has not been retrained in the last 8 years will scratch his head. A lot of the new cars now are dealership specialty tools only because most independent shops don't have them. Imagine spending $8,000 on a tool you can only use on a brand. There few independent shops in the US that will take on that car for liability reasons. .

Our people are smart but the tools required for modern cars is not easily within reach. You see a shop with old Toyotas and one new Porsche and you know something is out of place. If you see a lot of newer cars then you understand the clientele.

Take a look at Pine hollow Auto diagnostics on YouTube he has a simple way of solving complicated issues and mechanics call him to solve these problems.

FSM is not for everyone but you will learn something new every time you use it, but YouTube is the easiest way to go because those TSB are sometimes triggered by issues on YouTube

Shut your mouth if you can’t comprehend, stop showing your stupidity online. This is a boy i have the opportunity to see and talk with on weekly basis, heck we are talking about a family that I have known for 23 years, I even had a drink with the elder brother yesterday and you think it’s hear say? His parents can’t afford his university education because his dad is late and mom a house wife...I was there when the Japanese guy met with his mom before he left for his country to help him process his papers, by the way didn’t you see where I wrote that he’s in Japan now? Are you the one that sent his there or is there something you failed to understand?
