Last year, a Finnish Tesla owner blew up his EV to protest a similar issue.
Last week, Mario Zelaya posted a TikTok video calling out the issue and it received over 15 million views.
In an earlier video, the Toronto-based Tesla owner posted images of a service estimate from Tesla dated March 14.
The estimate showed that a replacement battery for the electric car would cost over $28,000 in Canadian dollars or more than $21,000 US dollars.
Last year, a man from Finland filmed a video of himself blowing up his 2013 Tesla Model S after he discovered a replacement battery would cost $22,600.
