Hoping to get the vehicle back this week, reupholstered. Time, will ultimately tell. Thanks for all of the productive, informative and positive input!

You don't need Tesla's inspection for an insurance company to act on this flooding claim. 100% wrong. Insurance explicitly stated the exact opposite. Tesla is the sole decision making party as to what the damages are. If Tesla says there's a problem, insurance will write it up and do the...

Insurance is paying the SC.

I’ve written this a few times - Tesla is the authority. Insurance company is on the hook. Insurance won’t do anything unless Tesla tells them to. If Tesla says the car is fine now and a problem directly related to this develops down the road, it won’t be covered.

Yes, I do. I want clear terms about potential failure, issues, compromise due to the conditions suffered due to water so that the insurance company would cover such repairs in the future, under the same claim (and avoid a $500 deductible per incident, as they occur). Don’t know about SOL.

Tesla service is the authority here (rightly so). If they say the car is fine now and I wind up with a critical problem 2-3 years down the road, I’m out of pocket for thousands (potentially 10s of thousands). No one is going to go out of there way to connect the history in order to save me...

Document the potential issues that could arise down the road which would not appear immediately, but may present themselves later. Put it in clear terms that A, B and C could occur due to the exposure to water. Give me something that will protect me against a $9,000 bill 4 years from now. In...

I’m willing to bet that it doesn’t matter and that they’re following protocol. Their entire service department is designed to avoid direct communication with customers. Customers waste time (angry customers waste the most). Like every other big business, Tesla views this as a non-essential...

Yes. Communication has been entirely one sided. They tell me they’ll update/call me every day and have literally not called me once. Service manager does seem very competent and I have confidence in their work. Service advisor/liaison is the worst I’ve ever experienced. An absolute...

RE: proving a negative - fair enough. But how can I protect myself against potential long term costs / problems that potentially stem from this incident? If my suspension suffers over time, my insurance company isn’t going to cover that without clear evidence that failure was accelerated by...

Yes - insurance is fully involved and prepared to pay for whatever repairs that Tesla reports. This is part of my frustration.

Thanks - this is my hope. I want documented evidence to justify that claim. If there is any sort of electrical issue (i.e. ANY issue with the car) in the future, I want to be protected. I'm concerned about having a lifetime of issues and repairs in front of me that can/should be addressed...

No - I am not under the impression that I purchased a boat or submersible. I want proof that the vehicle is safe to operate and in no way compromised beyond repair. If this incident has potentially compromised the safety or reduced the lifespan of my vehicle, I want them to tell my insurance...

They did not submerge the car (said doing so was not viable). My argument was simply, "if you can't recreate the environment, how can you tell me that the vehicle has been properly tested"? I am 100% positive that water did not enter through the doors. We opened all 4 immediately to check the...

Thanks for the comment. Tesla service swears that there is no way that the battery was or could have been compromised. I asked for data/evidence to prove it. I want to know exactly how they determine that it is not compromised. They've had the car for a week and all they've produced is that...

Hi, All. I'm new here. I'm freaking out a bit. Hope you can help me. My Model 3 took on water while parked last week. I was not with the car at the time. My best guess is that it was exposed to less than 12" of water for less than 20 minutes. Floors took on no more than an inch of water...
