    Got my MYP back after an accident. Looks better than new tbh

    Body work on Tesla in West Virginia

    Does anyone know if there is a Tesla approved body shop in the Huntington, WV - Ashland, KY - Charleston, WV area? The Columbus, OH Tesla Service Center assured me that I wouldn't have to travel 150 miles one way to Columbus to have mechanical or body work.

    Too many fender benders

    I pass by a body shop on my way to work everyday. In the past 2 weeks I have noticed 6 Tesla's show up there with almost identical damage to the front bumper.
