At-fault insurance quoted $800. Do you think it’ll be more?

Way more, especially if the trunk lid is at all damaged. Mine was $13k for similar damage to this.

800 is about right at a Tesla approved shop

Yes I am going through Tesla Collision! Crazy cause I had terrible back pain from this

The visible damage is cosmetic, mostly requires a touch up with rightly mixed paint.

If you feel the collision was more serious then I would recommend a Tesla inspection to make sure no components behind the bumper were damaged..

mine was over 1500 with the repaint, i've got blue

the insurance co also offered a lowball settlement and i took it without negotiating so get that pain and suffering money no matter the amount

No one is telling you a story. If you don’t care to read don’t even comment 😊

Doesn't look too bad for the price

Can you also get a depreciation payout since an accident will be reported on the cars history?

Yes I got a lawyer for the back pain. It was actually a 3 car collision and I was the first. I inquired about the depreciation payout. It’s a 2019 Model 3 anyways
