11,000 Tesla EVs have been serviced by GM dealerships since 2021
General Motors has discovered that there is more money to be had in electric car maintenance than initially thought. Since 2021, GM's dealerships have repaired over 11,000 Tesla EVs nationwide and this business is continuing to grow.
During General Motors' Investor Day on Thursday, Mark Reuss talked about fixing Teslas while speaking to investors and analysts in New York City. "That's a growing business for us," he said before adding that "I gotta say it's a new business."
Servicing Tesla vehicles is certainly unexpected but it's easy to see the benefit for both sides. General Motors gets a stream of revenue and income that it wasn't planning on. From the customer standpoint, they're not having to wait on what can be lengthy turnaround times for service through Tesla itself.
One reason that Tesla customers have to wait a long time for service appointments is because there are fewer service centers than GM dealerships.
