More Tesla Collision Repair News

An Elon Musk tweet on Tuesday got the attention of the collision repair industry. What of Tesla Insurance?

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.”

As news broke about Tesla's in-house collision repair plans earlier this year, FenderBender spoke to Tesla-approved shops to get their reactions.
