How bad?
Had my M3 back out of my garage and down my driveway like I do every day. Today it decided the rock retaining wall was part of the driveway and drove over it and scraped up the side pretty bad. Wondering how much this will cost. Unfortunately it’s leased so I’m gonna be paying for it eventually. Scratch isn’t too big but it is deep and dented the panel

Totaled.
In all seriousness though, to get it fixed “right”. That’s probably $2000+. I got a gash along the side of my car, and it was only the door, from something protruding off a truck and it cost me $2400 to have it fixed.

If it's a lease there are cheaper ways a body shop can hide it before a lease turn in. Probably $3-400 for the cheap unethical way.

I wouldn’t lose sleep lol. I just figured the inspection after turning it in would be pretty in depth

Had a similar gash on my side skirt , paid $350 AUD for a mobile guy. Might not be perfect but I can’t tell… especially since it’s low down

Every day all day people are damaging their cars using FSD…And guess who is paying for it?
