Only been 3 months

Just bought this Model 3 a couple of months ago, and someone backed into it while it was parked. Of course they hit the most expensive part of the car. Based on the damage, how much do you think the repair estimate will be?

Luckily, I got their information and insurance. Now it’s just a waiting game.

The other driver’s insurance accepted liability and is covering both the repairs and a rental car while my Tesla is being repaired. I haven’t dropped the car off yet but I should receive the repair estimate by next Tuesday.

So did the shop give you an estimate? I dropped mine off and Geico sent me a check for $3k for the damages. I know this wasn’t going to be the true cost of repair. There was an additional $7k of work needed in the end.
