- sliken 9y agoAll new Teslas have the 12 sets of fancy sensors (cameras and ultrasonic) sprinkled around the car, complete with mounts and cabling. The car is also fairly well optimized for minimum air resistance to maximize range per watt. The complications mean that your average body shop can't do it and/or doesn't have access to the parts. So you get higher prices, which of course results in more claims because more of the repairs are well above the deductible.
