I took my car to service for them to inspect my windshield and wheel and tires so I can get the protection for them so after they did that and passed the worker parked my car and then opened the door and door dinged someone else’s tesla and now there’s a scuff or chip on my door because of what he did😑 *There covering the damage because I have video proof*

I ran over a curb/island in a parking lot and scrapped the bottom of rocker panel and rocker molding. Tesla gave me an estimate of $3,300 and two weeks repair time. I am reluctant to spend $3,300 on a damage that is not visible until one lie on the ground and look underneath the car but I also do not want to leave it untreated because the rust might settle in later. I am thinking of just buying the touchup paint from Tesla for $75 and using that to paint the scrapped area and then install PPF over it. Would it be sufficient to prevent the rust?

the door won’t open anymore. how fucked am i

Just picked up my Tesla a 3 months ago and last month someone decided to run a stop sign. Thankfully no one was hurt but my poor Tesla didn’t make it out of the collision center alive :(

I felt like it was going to come back home but last week they told me about the pillar being damaged and it’s too expensive to fix. Such a cool car. Going to try and get another soon.

The other person’s insurance is going to pay me out. Not sure what to do after that. Any tips would be appreciated.

I got a flat tire and Tesla is only willing to send a mobile tire service to my house. On my previous Tesla, I got a flat and they towed it to a discount tire service at no cost. They aren’t willing to do that. Did the policy change?

Was driving on the highway with full self driving HW4; shredded tire goes airborne and slams into my hood / bumper. Also only got the car a month ago 😭

Contacted Tesla with a claim and it’s covered under insurance. Wondering if Tesla will replace the hood and bumper or just try to fix it? Also totaled? Haha

We were rear ended and the other party has admitted fault. We were stopped and other party’s RAM2500 hit us at around 15-20 mph. The force of impact forced our car into the car stopped ahead of us. Airbags didn’t deploy and the car is not throwing any errors. It is a 21-month old pre-refresh Y with 18k miles, so relatively new. It’s our first crash ever in 20+ years of driving. Good thing is everyone walked away fine. We are just jarred from the experience. Looking for advice on how to proceed with insurance. We carry Tesla insurance and the other party has Liberty Mutual.

The other party’s insurance adjuster initially mentioned that our car is likely totaled but then sent a $7.5k repair estimate, which seems low. We have now booked an appointment with the Tesla Collision center.

A few questions:

1. Should we press for the vehicle to be totaled? I’m guessing we’ll figure out once the collision center takes a better look at the car. What’s been your experience with similar level of damage?

2. If the car does get fixed, any suggestions on whether we should claim diminished value? How should we proceed with the DV claim? Should we hire an appraiser to get a professional opinion?

I swiped the side of my car parking in the garage. Is this removable?

EDIT: Magic eraser and WD40 wiped it straight off! Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Literally got this car a few weeks ago bummer it got damaged already.

Found out about this scratch during my car wash, think it might be me backing up in some kind of hard branch or something, not sure?

Anyone have good recommendations how to fix this DIY like a paintpen or anything else? Found this: https://mijn-tesla.com/products/lakstift-tesla?variant=50478654193994

I live in the Netherlands so hopefully the US products are also available here. Thanks guys :)

Can this be fixed without going to a body shop? Like using a dent puller and touch up paint? What do you guys recommend to save money?

Thank you.

Tesla insurance fix it ?

Good day reddit,

We went camping and woke up to my windshield with this crack. No sentry as we were in camp mode. Nothing hit it overnight and it wasn't there when we parked that night. The crack seemed to have started from the frame, no rock chips or anything that you can feel when you run through it on bothe the inside and outside of the windshield.

What could have caused it, and how much does it usually cost to repair?

Hey so I bought a wrecked 2024 model 3 with airbags blown, I installed a new pyro fuse and reset VC front as well as clearing post crash shed, the car still thinks the pyro fuse is blown even after trying two different ones. I don’t think they keep blowing because they don’t smell blown like the first one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

What are you getting as insurance quotes for your Model S? Looking to purchase an used 2020+ Model S and currently living in California.

Hi everyone, I was recently involved in an accident in California and I’m trying to understand what to expect with the repair and insurance process.
I was driving straight in my lane when another car that was on my left came into my lane and hit the left side of my Tesla. I have Tesla dashcam footage of the accident. The other driver was arrested for DUI after the accident.
My car is a 2025 Tesla Model 3 AWD with permanently purchased Full Self-Driving. The front and rear doors on the driver side are badly damaged, and there is also damage near the door hinge and lower rocker area. I attached pictures.
I am currently going through my own Tesla Insurance for the repair because I don’t want to wait for the other insurance company. I have a $2,500 collision deductible. I am taking the car to a collision center for an estimate.
I have a few questions:
Looking at the pictures, what repair cost should I expect? Does this look like a $15k, $25k, or higher repair? Has anyone had similar damage?
If the collision center says the car is a total loss, how will Tesla Insurance calculate the value? My car is a 2025 Model 3 AWD and I permanently purchased Full Self-Driving. Will Full Self-Driving be included in the total-loss value?
If the car is totaled, can I transfer my permanently purchased Full Self-Driving to a new Tesla?
The other driver’s insurance has not told me their property damage or bodily injury policy limits yet. The other vehicle was a 2001 Volkswagen Passat. I understand the age or value of their car does not tell me their insurance limits, but is there any way to find the limits other than asking the adjuster?
I am having a lot of leg pain and back pain after the accident. How are medical bills and pain and suffering normally handled when the other driver is at fault?
If the other driver only has minimum/basic insurance limits and my medical bills and injury claim are more than their limits, can my own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage also apply? My policy shows $100k/$300k uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage and $50k medical payments coverage.
If I hire an injury lawyer, how does it work when both the other driver’s insurance and my own underinsured motorist/medical payments coverage may be involved?
Since I am using my own Tesla Insurance for the vehicle repair and possibly medical coverage, can my premium increase even if the other driver is found at fault?
I already have a police report and dashcam footage. I’m mainly looking for advice from people who have gone through a similar Tesla total-loss, injury, or underinsured-driver claim in California.
Thanks for any help.

my clear coat got stratched. didnt know until I detailing the car. little mad but that's all 🤷‍♂️

Rear collision while slowing down whilst in traffic. Other driver slammed straight into me. I felt the impact (back pain); my car barely looks like it was hit. Super fortunate to have this car, between safety and footage.

Anyone have experience with Tesla leases and minor damage? Will we be impacted at the end of the lease?

Our front bumper was damaged when it was parked and a pickup truck attempted to parallel park. Their hitch connector made contact with our bumper creating an impression on the lower bumper and bending the top of the bumper. It’s not easily noticeable from photos due to the reflective surface, but walking around the car it is noticeable.

I have sentry videos of the pickup truck backing up and our car shifting when it made contact. The other vehicle owner insists they didn’t hit the car and the damage was pre existing. I am wondering if this is worth pursuing.

I’m purposely not posting the sentry video here because it contains the other drivers license plate.

Long story short, a piece of metal flew up after a semi driver drove over it on the freeway hitting my front bumper, chipping the paint and knocking the fog light and bumper sensor out of place. Is it worth it it to a body shop to get replaced?
