That’s not powered though, right? The one I linked claims it can do subzero ( Fahrenheit) temperatures!

https://www.acopower.com/pages/tesfridge The thing looks amazing and I saw on Facebook they answered some questions about the tight fit and ventilation and they replied that it was engineered with that in mind and the clearance was acceptable. The problem I see is that I think the 12v in the...

If you have serious acid rain that probably would be a wise move... otherwise rain tends to be pretty neutral when it comes to pH and it won't damage your black trim, a touchless car wash WILL damage your trim.

Curious how much the final repairs were since it looks like the OP is posting the car for sale now. That looks pretty serious so I'm surprised it wasn't totaled...

Ouch! That's a pretty serious accident!! Gives me hope on my "minor" accident that my vehicle might be brought back to great condition.... price is rough on this though, $3,800 more expensive than a new one!

I'm shocked how "cheap" they are on Hertz... I think after tax and everything it's like $70/day for the rentals I've made.... I mean it certainly adds up over a week or month, but it's been about the same price as I would expect for like a full size premium vehicle (not Merc or BMW).

I've had pretty good experiences with them. I've rented four times, each time the car was 99% or 100% and I was told to return it above 70%. If you pay $35 or something I think you can return it anywhere above 20%. Each time I've had the mobile connector in the trunk so I could charge at home...

Current update is... On May 16th I was updated by Crash Champions Monroe in Spokane, WA that the Tesla parts for the frame rail still are backordered and still show no ETA... so that's fantastic My second month of a rental was just paid by my insurance through the uninsured motorist property...

Out and back also are ideal for destination chargers, those wineries really need to get a bunch more destination chargers deployed. 208v at 48 amps is about 20kW in two hours, if it’s 240 volt that bumps up to 23kW. That’s significant… that’s ~25% of a 3/Y battery and 20% of an S/X. Spend four...

Once it’s ruined, it’s unfortunately ruined. That’s a chemical process that discolors it. There are a number of ways to cover it up and minimize it, but it’ll likely show up again after a number of rains or hand washing it. Whatever Tesla is/isn’t doing is unique to the other guys that use black...

How much are you paying your lawyer?

Man! I must be in a cheap insurance state! (WA) I’ve never been any where near these numbers, my Performance Y is ~$460/6 month and my coverage is WAY above those numbers.

50 mph likely means frame damage… probably $25,000 to $35,000

I was told they don’t factor rental cost into it… which was surprising and confusing to me. I think I need to call the shop and get them to estimate a value for it to be totaled… since the insurance company said they don’t do an estimate on it and just use what the shop tells them. Also a...

Who sells them?

I'll be curious if you have any luck with a lawyer... wasn't sure if you had injuries or not, but everything I seem to read the lawyers only really want to get involved if there are injuries, if not, they don't really care. If the vehicle detected an accident it likely recorded and saved that...

For me they had most parts in hand except for stuff in relation to front frame rail replacement… they’re not estimating end of June, but many Tesla certified places were saying 3-6 months based on their workload. Washington state only has one Tesla owned collision center and they wouldn’t even...

They have not… I asked them what the magic number would be and they said it looks like one hasn’t been established yet… so beats me. The State Farm rep I was talking to seemed hyper focused on my $500 deductible and was trying to figure out if in my situation (not at fault accident but the...

If you have rear parking sensors I wonder if they got damaged and might be sending false signals or the car is searching for a sensor and that is essentially keeping it awake all the time. 10% when the car is essentially idle per day seems about right.

For a eight month old Performance Y State Farm was suggesting the total value would be somewhere around the mid $40k's.... That would be like $20k out of pocket to replace it new and probably still $5k+ to replace it with a used Performance Y with around 10k miles on it (mine has 9,400). As much...

Don't get in front of me, but Crash Champions Monroe of Spokane WA was able to get me in for a quote within 10 days. Initially when it looked like just body panels and cooling system stuff up front they estimated repairs would be 3 to 5 weeks... so maybe better luck for you with that. Now that...

I had similar (but a little less) damage that was estimated at $15,000. However, they found left frame rail damage and it’s jumped to almost $30,000….

Shhhh, those are in my garage right now. I didn't want to have to replace those guys if the car got totaled, lol. I put the Ubers back on before I sent it up there. If I got another Performance it would come with Ubers, and I would have to source another set of geminis for winter again :P

Interestingly enough State Farm just sent me a message asking me to accept the repair estimate so the repair can be started... so... not totaled? Boy... and I actually now see a used Model S Plaid direct from Tesla in the $70s.... lol

Updated estimate: $33,554 (after my $500 deductible).... they estimate 42 days for the repair once they get parts... Not sure how they're estimating this, but they suggest end of June will be when they'll be done... yet Tesla hasn't even provided a shipping estimate on the extra parts they're...

I independently picked this shop (based on location, that they are Tesla certified, and the estimated repair time), later when switching to State Farm (my insurance) due to the underinsured issue of the other party, this shop turned out to be a "preferred shop" with State Farm... so I guess when...

I actually believe WA state spells out how the insurance company can do it... I forget but I remember being fairly surprised by a low number.. I think it's like 2 cars to determine the value. They have specific distance from the registered address or something and then if two can't be found in...

In cases of totaled vehicles, they pay out the value (as close as to be determined) of the vehicle right before the accident, correct? So if there is evidence of it selling for $52k (within a few hundred miles on the odometer) for basically the same options (paint color was different, but...

They are, and I’m sure they will… but as you might imagine, I love to stay up to date.

I did... asked them what the new estimate would be and asked if this would push it to the total point... haven't heard back from the collision center yet (though I wonder if they'll try to keep it from being totaled because obviously they stand to make a lot on a big repair). Would you...

I asked for an updated estimate but haven't seen one yet... $15,300 before this new damage... $1500 in rental costs already... what do you think the target amount would be for totaled...

What does this mean.... I was updated by the collision shop that "We did find some serious frame damage to the left lower rail." They said they have more parts on order for that... but frame damage... can that be repaired? Does that mean it's totaled? I don't want a salvage title with this...

Hertz can (should), though someone on a facebook group just had a huge issue and had to wait for an employee to come out (hours) because the car was in a parking garage and didn't have signal, so the Hertz remote unlock never reached the car...

Sounds like a state problem more than a insurance problem... I don't think many other people have had these kinds of issues with those companies... move? lol

My coverage is pretty much maxed (included rental reimbursement!) and low deductibles ($500) and I pay $401 every six months. I was recently involved in a "minor" accident where a lady pulled out in front of me (60-70 feet or less) and while I could slow down to about 20 mph, I couldn't beat...

It bugs me a little when their coverage for other people they might affect is less than half what their car costs. I 100% get people that can barely afford this world. They shouldn't be out there forced to get $100k of coverage for someone else's expensive car... but maybe like 2x the value of...

I’ve rented with Hertz a couple times and absolutely love it, I doubt I’ll rent an ICE car again. By far the largest annoyance is the keycard and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost forgot it or did and had to walk back into my office from the parking lot when I realized the car...

WHOA! Just got a payment from State Farm (my insurance) for the FULL amount of the rental car cost! It’s listed as “Uninsured Motorist Property Damage, Rental Reimbursement” and is 100% of the rental (Tesla Model Y via Hertz) and is above my rental coverage ($1000 max & 80% of daily amount)...

Well this is a little concerning… didn’t send a flatbed for my tow even though I said it’s electric and all wheel drive… the guy swears he’s done 6-7 Teslas in the last couple months alone and has “high speed dollies” for the rear wheels… I tossed it into transport mode on the service screen...

What type of attorney would you suggest I talk to? Accident and injury firms really seem to lean on the injury part, which I don’t have. Would they still be the ones to talk to? Or someone else? Also, any recommendations on charge level? I’m hoping to get the car picked up Tuesday… the shop...

Sure, I get that. But what could they bring me extra? If Progressive pays out $10k to State Farm, and then State Farm picks up the rest and restores my Tesla to the condition right before the accident…. What else could I get? If it’s a diminished value claim, wouldn’t that now have to come...

That price is around the normal for the Pacific Northwest. Usually $5500-$7500 for full body PPF and some of the price difference is in the brand of film or if it’s matte or clear. I absolutely love the look and makes taking care of it easier too.

Yes, I’m curious at this point why that keeps getting mentioned… like there is some magic thing they would do… I suspect her biggest asset was her car, which is likely worth less than she owes on it now. She’s 23 and lives in an apartment. Even if she’s working 40 hr a week, if she’s making...

It is lashing out a little… and if she was in a really low value used car, sure I would see the writing on the wall struggling and would be annoyed, but more so at the state than anything else. Why regulate something when the regulation is ridiculous. I’m rather annoyed at *her* though since...

Well.... now I'm really at a loss and possibly screwed pretty bad... other driver only had state minimums of TEN THOUSAND dollars and my photo based estimate is already $15,300.... What's the guidance now? The other adjustor (working for Progressive, the other person's insurance) gave me an...

I was initially worried my policy would have some amazing discount and show that the shitbox was like $12 a day after tax or something and no way could I argue that I should be reimbursed anywhere near the actual out of pocket value if I floated the charge... however, looking at state farm (my...

No one has physically seen it yet. I just got the police report today which gives me the other party's info so I'll call their insurance later today after work and get the ball rolling. It needs to be towed ~130 miles so I probably won't have an official hands on car estimate or adjuster look at...

Thanks for the guidance, I think I'm already following a lot of what you're suggesting. I'm keeping my insurance aware of everything, but not actually having them pay out anything yet and then subrogation. I do have a limit of $1k and 30 days on my rental, I've floated the charge out of pocket...

Well police report obtained... other party was 23 years old... younger than I thought (I estimated 25-28). They received a citation with the charge "fail yield private rd motor." Narrative includes; "[other driver] advised she was pulling out of [location]. [Other driver] stated she did not see...

I have somewhat similar damage to a Model Y and an initial quote based on photo evidence so far is ~$15k
