The
RepairPal website says there are two RepairPal Certified shops in Ann Arbor that can service a Tesla. The closest MINI dealer for work on my electric MINI Cooper SE is 40 miles from me and Michigan's only other MINI dealer is 130 miles away in Grand Rapids.
The Aptera arrangement must be a first for RepairPal. Google reports:
"RepairPal does not have direct, formal partnerships with traditional vehicle manufacturers (like Toyota, Ford, or Honda). Instead of aligning with specific car brands, RepairPal’s primary relationships are with extended warranty companies, insurance providers, and used-car retailers."
