Agreed. While I don't normally base my buying decisions on collisions and repairs, not having a service center reasonably close is a consideration. Fortunately, EV's do not require the same level of maintenance as an ICE car, Getting initial flaws fixed (which Tesla has been known for) is a consideration.
Tesla's QC has been improving, and the OTA updates are a nice feature. Having a drive-in service center or a mobile option available locally is a desirable option.
We can only hope better service coverage is an ongoing priority.
