All good Paul, this is why many online arguments start hey. The written word is ambiguous and despite us being on the same team, we can potentially clash unnecessarily. All the best mate.

NRMA on the other hand quoted me over 6k for the same.

Paul you make a valid point that comparison isn't straight forward due to so many variables but it certainly isn't pointless. To say that sharing information here in this forum is pointless is akin to saying that the forum itself is pointless.

No the car is still under warranty but they're being adversarial as usual. They just brush us off in the hope we will go away. Is this part you are referring to Blue Heaven called a gyro something?

So in regards to aftermarket mcu options in Sydney, does anyone know if anyone exists who can do this work or where we can go to enquire? If there's no other options I guess there's the Australian Consumer Law avenue but I don't like my chances against Tesla.

Hey tesla lovers n haters, I have been experiencing mcu issues before I even knew what an mcu was. After being constantly brushed off by my service centre about these issues I started googling and here I am, learning more everyday about what a sucker I was spending 6 figures on my dream car -...

Thanks for the advice Quamera. I did as you said and after I washed my car by hand, checked all seals. Unfortunately the result was less than ideal. Water leaked into the trunk area and into the tailgate locking mechanism area. Then there is also the leakage into the 2nd row of seats where the...

These photos show the paint colour difference between new quarter panels and the original falcon wing doors paint colour. What is not obvious is there si also a texture difference with the new panels being smoother and shinier. I am not a spray painter so I can not understand why, after the...

We all know that Teslas have a bad reputation of panel gaps and misalignment, especially around the falcon wing doors but the new bumper looks too big as the gaps don't line up properly and aren't even straight to the wheel arches. Please see before and after photos showing the workmanship of...

Here's an update on the progress of the repairs. Let me know if you would be happy with this work. This is the brand new rear bumper panels.

Hilarious mate! DYAC!!! Jokes aside, I think the panel gaps have actually been improved, so a small consolation I guess. Another bonus is the whole car got resprayed which fixes the crap paint job that Tesla does on their "luxury" cars. So a forward thinking Tesla owner who has problems such as...

I purchased my car in full without finance. In Australia, the bank could demand whatever they bloody want but it is up to the Insurance company to either repair the vehicle or deem it a write off, as per Aussie legislation. If I was a smarter man I could have gone after the at fault party...

Thanks for your cryptic message hahaha I can only guess what you might mean by " I can’t be this wasn’t written off based on the clear *sugar* in body panels as far forward as the FWDs" ? hmmmm. Anyways, down under here in Straya, it is the legal right of my insurance company to decide if they...

Gees... if local people like you have to wait so long, I guess us poor bastards down under in Oz have no chance. My spoiler was replaced too, along with multiple other parts. I am still waiting on a 3rd row seat, only god knows if I will get it this year or next...

The original quote was 70k but didn't include fixing/repairing any of the electronic faults or wheel alignment/vibration issues that presented after the accident. The repair shop was just as bad as Tesla, not sure who was worse actually. The deafening silence from Tesla or the continual BS/lies...

It took 4 months just to be assessed.... The smash repairer told me, sorry we cant do the assessment as we are waiting on a "Beaver panel". Apparently this is a disposable part required for structural damage assessment. I emailed Tesla complaining about waiting so long and this part miraculously...

half a year of being ignored by Tesla despite numerous phone calls, emails, and even going to the service centre. Lied to by the smash repairer, who kept on telling me, it only another week or so and the parts will arrive... lies..... Months later the parts arrived then it turns out they ordered...

Every single person I meet I share this unacceptable experience with. F#*k you musk and my pathetic insurance company for authorising repairs.

Sorry I dropped off and didn't respond. The whole experience has been a low point in my life. Half a year on and my X is still not finished. This has been killing me slowly week after week

This is the bent or gapped internal trim.

This is obviously the view from behind with plastic wrapped around the tailgate window as the glass was smashed on impact.

Hi guys, Im new here and live in Sydney. I have owned a 2017 Model X 100d for nearly a year until recently (Feb 2020) a truck ran into the back of me whilst I was stopped at a set of traffic lights. I thought I would post some pictures to get your thoughts on this. Is the damage repairable or is...
