April 15, 2021—Tesla plans to streamline its in-house collision repair service with its car insurance program, Inside EVs reported.
The company’s CEO, Elon Musk, replied to a customer tweet on Tuesday that praised Tesla’s mobile service saying, “Tesla is building up collision repair capability to help address the grief that you went through, but usually insurance companies make you go their 'approved' collision repair partners. Tesla Insurance will make it smooth sailing.”
