The final repair cost ended up to be around $23,000. This does not include bringing it back to het the ClearBra reinstalled 60 days later after paint sets in (that is what they claimed). I was pretty shocked how much it ended up costing because of how minor the damage looked. Finally got my car...

Originally, the bumper and side panel had to be replaced, and the trunk had to be repaired. However, they stated there were more internal damage found when they opened the car, so they had to get more parts and take the car apart.

Update: Still haven't received my car back yet... and my rental car got broken into and lots of stuff got stolen because the rental given to me had no alarm. I HATE THIS

Also, for anyone who followed my story in the beginning and saw the damage... Original estimate from non-certified Tesla shop: $3000 Original estimate from current Tesla-certified shop: $14,000 Final "estimate" (pending completion) from current Tesla-certified shop: $22,000...

Thank you both for the responses. Yes, it is a Tesla certified shop and I plan to email Tesla and even Elon about it. Being Tesla certified and having this behavior is going to tarnish Tesla's reputation even though they might not be directly involved. In terms of reviews, they have a 3.5 on...

it's been 7 weeks and I still have not gotten my car back. I AM ABSOLUTELY PISSED ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? The body shop keeps telling me "next week" every damn time I call. I am just about ready to snap and scream at them/sue them.

Wow, JMG, that is a very long time... I am not looking forward to that. I just got my estimate today and it looks like they are replacing the same things you mentioned, but my estimate is more like $14,000. Good thing it wasn't my fault... but still, 30 days with an ICE is going to be painful.

Got rear ended yesterday... time to deal with insurance and weeks of waiting for parts.

I was charging there yesterday evening! Very nice set up, and it's about time... Finally, no more anxiety driving to and from OC!

Just dropped by yesterday night, it's looking good! The stations are slowly being completed with the outer casings!

I am having multiple connectivity issues as well the past week. Slacker radio has been constantly dropping connection, and my remote app is stuck on "Waking Car...", despite logging out and back in and killing the app from the background and restarting it. I also restarted both of my displays...

New Model S owner here for 3 weeks now. Attempted to use the Supercharger stations for the first time this past week. I used the Buellton and the Hawthorne ones. Buellton one gave me no issues whatsoever, awesome charge, was going around 310 miles/hr for a little bit. Hawthorne has a 5...

What happened with San Juan?

I just picked up my Tesla Model S last Saturday and already had at least 1 memorable moment every day since then. Some notables: Last Saturday (the day I picked it up): Thumbs up and congratulations from a customer when I was parking at Walgreens. Had a conversation with him about the car...

I am looking forward to the Oxnard SC as well; I mainly stay in Ventura to work but occasionally go to LA midweek and OC every weekend. No ability to charge overnight in Ventura for me because I stay at an apartment complex.
