A right-to-repair measure in Massachusetts passed in a landslide victory last Tuesday. “Question 1,” as the measure was called on the ballot, will force car manufacturers to ensure independent repair stores have access to the same diagnostic tools as manufacturer run repair stores. That will change the automobile repair landscape in Massachusetts, especially for Tesla, a notoriously secretive company that has made it hard and expensive to service its electric vehicles.

Rich Benoit, a YouTuber and mechanic who specializes in rebuilding busted Teslas, said that this right-to-repair bill is a game-changer, but that there’s still a lot of work to be done. Benoit has repeatedly run into issues sourcing parts and accessing certain aspects of Tesla's software, as he detailed to Motherboard in a 2018 documentary.
