Also, there's the Supercharger network.
I was watching a TFLcar video on YouTube yesterday. They backed into the edge of the garage on their brand new model 3 they bought when the $35,000 version was announced they had been waiting for. Of course they couldn't get a $35,000 and justified buying the upsell the the $50,000 version but that's another story. So they had to find a Tesla authorized shop in the Denver area and talked a bunch to an actual technician who pulls apart the Teslas, fixes them, and puts them all back together. He said basically they aren't that impressive in what Tesla is doing but he did say the model 3 is the best. He said get all up inside an Audi for instance and you really see the difference in engineering and build quality. BTW the minor, slow speed collision was like $6500 and could go higher once they peal back the outside layer of the onion.
