Have you ever talked to someone who owns a Tesla and has been unfortunate enough to have an accident in one? If so, you may have heard one of two common responses. In the case of a major accident, they may express relief at having survived the ordeal, while also lamenting the loss of their beloved Tesla. On the other hand, they may share a story of a minor mishap and the frustratingly long wait time for repairs.
Post-accident repair is often cited as one of the worst parts of Tesla ownership by many owners. Simple repairs like bumper or door replacements can take weeks or even months, leaving owners driving rental cars while they wait for their Tesla to be repaired. This, coupled with the high insurance costs associated with Tesla ownership, can be a major source of frustration for many.
In response to these issues, Tesla has made a significant shift in its approach to accident repairs. Elon Musk recently announced on Twitter that Tesla will be bringing collision repairs in-house, with the goal of having Tesla body shops stocked with all necessary parts to ensure quick and efficient repairs. Musk stated that some repairs could even be completed on the same day or within the same hour.
This move is aimed at reducing wait times for repairs and potentially lowering insurance costs for Tesla owners. By handling repairs in-house, Tesla may be able to repair cars for less than third-party shops, ultimately benefiting both the company and its customers. However, this shift may pose challenges for customers who live outside of major metropolitan areas with Tesla repair centers nearby.
It’s clear that Tesla is taking steps to address the issues surrounding post-accident repairs and insurance costs for its customers. By bringing repairs in-house, Tesla is aiming to provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution for its customers. Whether this change will ultimately benefit Tesla owners remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the company is committed to improving the overall ownership experience for its customers.
