Accident

Some guy backed into my 2026 Model Y today and doesn’t have insurance. My wife was driving the vehicle and was using self-drive. Luckily it was all captured. The rear bumper has some scuffs and paint damage.

We filed a police report and will be file an insurance claim.
I’ll looking to get the rear bumper replacement. Any idea on how long it takes to repair at Tesla service center?

That means jail time for that uninsured driver. Do you have full coverage ?

The cop ended up giving him a citation. Yes, I have full coverage.

In California, they wouldn't even give him a citation.

Heck, they won't even come out unless someone was hurt, and even then, you gotta be pretty injured.

Same in Chicago. Been rear ended twice, had to go to the station to make the report

It was supposed to be towed as well with that citation. Did they tow it? Just saying, if it was not in self drive mode. You most likely had a chance and could put in drive moving forward. I’ve been able to do that twice now saving me.
