Thank you - to be honest, he is one of the reasons I am leaning towards them over Europros. He was very pleasant when I went there and took the time to explain the work to be in detail and was in general reassuring - just his body language and personality I guess. I didn't feel that way at...

Looks like I posted this in the wrong forum earlier and I am sorry for cross posting across forums. I hate it when others do it - so, I can imagine. I am leaning towards Criswell based on my experience. Any strong objections? ******************************** Hello, I posted on the forum...

CuriousG, Just trying to understand - why is it a concern? He said many of those cars are waiting on parts. Anyway, here is another update. I received the quote from Europro - $4300 (Criswell quoted $3,300). Criswell thought if there is more underlying damage to the quarter-panel, it could be...

Thanks for all the comments. Here is another quick update. I went to Criswell Collision Center in Annapolis today - surprisingly, I had a much better experience than Europros. Kevin was much more accessible - took the time to explain all the work that needs to be done, told me it wasn't a big...

Thanks for all the feedback and sorry for being MIA last evening. Here is the current update. I took it to Europro in Gaithersburg who got better reviews than Criswell in Annapolis. 1. "Tom" thinks the door needs to be replaced and said it would around approx 4k-5k. He said he would write it up...

Thx 2krazykats and electro man. Electroman, what do you recommend then ? Get an estimate from a bodyshop and then call insurance to ask how my premium would change with that expense on file ?

Yes Andy - I am planning to get it fixed. (1) Will the insurance company be okay with me taking it only to Tesla approved body shops? Also, one of the local body shops (Europro) has better reviews than Criswell. Not sure if the insurance company would be okay with taking the vehicle there (2)...

Thanks Andy. But for me to change any wifi information (or add a new SSID), the wifi center should be initialized, right? Otherwise, how would I even add a new wifi entry? for example, if I want to add something at work.

Put in a new door? Wow - now, I am officially freaked out. What am I in for? Would the insurance typically cover it all - except for the deductible of course. There are a couple of Tesla authorized bodyshops in the area. Should I get an estimate from them first before I involve the insurance?

I am trying to get over my recent post about the door damage. Trying not to think about it :). Oh well.. So, have been parking the car in the garage for the past couple of weeks and realized today that it hasn't been connecting to my home wifi. I do remember setting it up as soon as I brought...

So, there is no better way to say this! I have a 2 two week old Tesla (picked up on 12/31) and I caused back door damage. I feel like c*ap and I have been driving for 15 years and never had such a bad lapse in judgment. It is in back rear door and I think it is pretty bad. It was in a parking...

Actually, it is not. It is coming from a pretty large dealership in Tysons Corner, VA. The discount amount is still a mystery though! Thanks for the update on insurance. I will look around.

Just a quick update - 1. Alliant process was super simple! Impressed how easy they made the processs 2. Took the GAP insurance offered by Alliant. 3. Still don't know why they offered the $100 discount - old build? Base price is $71K (and not 73K). Any other reasons? 4. Insurance quotes are...

Thanks Rockster. I contacted Alliant today and I was offered GAP insurance and I will probbaly take it. Another observation is that they are offering a $100 discount - I wonder why (the sales-rep didn't know). It was driven for 15 miles in total. He checked - so, it is pretty much brand new...

Thanks Ormond and I got the PM as well. Already used the referral but thanks again. I will post pics :)
