Default The DMV needs a third-party EV shop

Just a little rant. Our area has one of the highest concentrations of EVs in the country outside of California. Many of them are now beyond manufacturer warranty coverage. It's super frustrating that there isn't yet an ecosystem of independent EV repair/maintenance shops on the East Coast like there is in California. This seems like a huge business opportunity that's only going to keep growing.

My 2013 Model S has a bunch of small issues:
  • Door handle needs recalibration
  • Window sensor is going bad
  • Loose exterior trim
  • One stereo speaker is dead
  • Instrument Cluster screen is on the verge of failing

My options right now are to deal with the Tesla service center (slow and expensive) or get on YouTube & eBay and try to DIY, probably saving $1000 for the full list of things. Just would be nice to have another option.
