Varies from state to state, and I doubt any state that requires it has inspectors qualified to make EV HV safety calls.
All Tesla cars built since late 2014 have enough self-diagnostic capability to shut down if something goes wrong during supercharging. (These changes were made after a non-salvage Tesla caught fire at a supercharger) Tesla's famous quality control is poor enough that without this self-diagnostic capability we would have seen a lot more serious problems, so a botched salvage repair is not going to really increase the danger.
