The company announced on its [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fsd) that its customers who use the Tesla app to make repair requests can now [attach a photo of damages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damage-control-1). Photos of the car's damage will help technicians get a more accurate idea of how to best repair the car. This will also help technicians to ensure they bring the correct tools to in-home service appointments.
