It's not that simple.
- First of all, Tesla authorized body shops are backup for weeks or months (depends on the location).
- Accident repair on your car's history will negatively effect car's resale value. Every time. You may, or may not, be able to recoup some of that with "diminished value" claim (varies by state) from at-fault driver's insurance.
- Last, but not least, no matter how carefully the paint is matched, it is never the same as it was at the factory. Usually, it is actually better (Tesla paint quality is a crap shoot), but no matter what, it will age differently than factory paint. If you intend to keep your Model 3 for many years to come, you will absolutely be able to spot panels that got re-sprayed at different times.
You really want to avoid body work if at all possible. Especially, on a Tesla.
PDR not only saves you time and money (if viable), but properly executed, returns the car to pre-accident state in terms of paint match and vehicle history. That's a very good out come, indeed.
