Oh sorry, but the linked article makes no mention of that and since the repair was priced in dollar I assumed it must have been in the US. Serves me right, I guess, for believing anything businessinsider says without triple checking.

The BI article repeatedly states they are quoting from

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-mu...

which states that:

    Jain, an electronics engineer in Cambridge, England.

The Reuters investigation looked at many instances of Tesla repairs and "normalised" figures to US dollars. It's common for global reporting across several countries to report in a single currency after conversion.

The problem here isn't "believing businessinsider" just missing various cues.

Is it? Usually I don't conduct in depth research about a news article I have only little interest in. I expect this to be already done for me by the articles author.

Here in this instance "in depth research" consists of following the link given within the Business Inside article to the Reuters investigation piece which has more infomation, primary sources, names of researchers, etc.

If we exchange details the next time I make it to your part of the world I could visit and click the link for you.
