MS got keyed tonight - like four feet across the left front panel and both driver's side doors. Obviously not happy but it's late and the service center isn't open. Is this something the Tesla SC fixes?

Oh no. Where was this? Very sad to hear.
No, Tesla SCs do not fix such damage. They'd refer you to a certified body shop.
Sorry again. There were a few such incidents in the early days in parts of Palo Alto and up in SF but, haven't heard anything like this recently.

So sorry that your car was vandalised yo mama
I'm sure your dog is sorry too
Please do not fire your dog
Get a BlackVue instead, it records disturbances around your parked car. Not sure if video of the assailant would be helpful though

Why do people do that?
Had my trunk keyed as well a while back. After that I installed a Blackvue dashcam (front & back)

SORRY, sucks! Yeah, body shop paint job is all. They have to blend across multiple panels etc. A good body shop will make it look like new again. Probably about $1000 to fix max.

blackvue would have captured the criminal. He's lucky he didn't do it in my driveway. I have two German shepherds and 1080P night vision cameras with auto alert for movement on the perimeter tied to a DVR. I wouldn't have shot him because it might hit the car and dogs wouldnt get to clean their teeth by chewing on him for alittle bit. It would have made a great video!

So sorry to hear this. One of our cars once got keyed, in a Whole Foods parking lot of all places!
You don't have to bother with a Tesla Certified shop for something so cosmetic but find a high end body shop that works on high end cars and have experience with aluminum panels.
Thanks for the link as I didn't know it could pick up audio as well. This really makes me want to get one.
Ugh, heartbreaking. Sorry to hear this.
I got keyed the first week with the car, and it really upset me for awhile. Now I think I just feel sorry for anyone whose life is so unhappy that they have that impulse to cause damage to someone they don't even know.
I hope it's good as new in no time.

You just have to watch what you are saying. But I can wave hand in front of it and it will stop recording the sound. You don't want to get caught yelling at your kids, while plowing into the car in front of you.
I guess that's when you take out the SD Card and swallow it
