In short, no. However, we do recommend that you take photos of any damage larger than a credit card as well as any interior damage that you find prior to driving away in your Tesla. This will ensure that you are protecting yourself from any liability that may arise.
If you get to your Tesla and find that there is any damage larger than the size of a credit card please report this to our Sumn Support Team at (512) 360-8735 or support@sumn.io. If damage found is smaller, you do not need to report the damage. If the damage in any way effects the drivability, please contact us and we’ll help you find another vehicle ASAP!
