Troy, that's the problem. They are not going back to the supplier. They are going "Guido's machine shop." It's the same deal as the 6.0 Ford.

Ford told Nav to pay for warrantee work. Nave told them to stick it. Ford said fine; we are not going to pay for the thousands of 6.4's you sent us. Nav said fine, you want to be that way you get no more engines. (Pretty hard to build a truck if you have no engines to put in it)

Pretty hard to build a Tesla if you have no suspension wish bones to put in your cars. This is why they are being sent to Guido's machine shop for rework.

If I had to bet I would bet the parts from the suppliers are to the specs they were given.

If these parts are not going back to the original manufacturer for rework doesn't mean they're not getting the bill unless these parts were made to spec like you claim.

This is actually fairly typical in the automotive industry. The parts can be sent directly to an outsourced company for rework and there are companies that come to the factory and sort parts and do the rework. In either case these fees are backcharged to the supplier.
