In my nearly 30s years of driving, I've never had the insurance company search for body shops with any claims I had. I wouldn't think that'd be something insurance companies would handle. Our adjuster did setup an appointment with a Tesla service center but they found structural damage, said...

I'm going through that lengthy process. It takes time to call hundreds of body shops. Maybe you have more spare time on your hands than me. You're also the smart guy that thinks you can get a car towed for less than a dollar a mile.

Because the West Coast has the highest adoption and concentration of Teslas in the entire country, everything I heard is that the entire West Coast is inundated with people waiting to get collision repairs. It's a simple search if you don't have a day job and take rejection well.

Thanks I've done that for all of Washington State, Victoria/Vancouver (BC Canada), Portland Metro area. Now having to expand search to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and beyond. I'm just saying had I known this was the case before buying a Tesla, I'd have never bought one in the first...

I contacted my preferred auto body shop that's nearby has little to no wait if you bring any ICE vehicle but they say they're not able to work on Teslas because they don't have the equipment to work on aluminum structural/body panels. I've also read that if you take a Tesla to a non-certified...

I have a feeling you've never sued someone before. Unless you know someone has collectable assets you can go after, there's no point in suing. I know I could win a judgement but that does no good when trying to collect. I don't need to win a judgement to make myself feel better. I need my less...

Yes, we'll probably be forced to do that but shipping a car one way is around $2000. Then I'll have to spend the money to fly wherever and spend a couple nights in hotels while driving across the country. Not everyone can afford to jump through such ridiculous steps. If it wasn't a Tesla, I...

The body shop in Bellingham told me they're too busy to accept cars out of the county. It's silly but I don't blame them. I blame Tesla for not having adequate body shops trained and certified to perform collision repairs to meet demand. It's terrible customer service and a miserable ownership...

My insurance is handling it but Tesla certified body shops in a 300 mile radius of me can't get me in for an estimate until December and after that they can't even start repairs until next year, many of them not till May at the earliest. On top of this the joker that crashed into us didn't...

Now the Bellingham location is telling me they won't accept vehicles from outside their county. Really regretting buying a Tesla. This is a total nightmare.

There is a place in Bellingham, WA that's about 100 miles away that said depending on the damage (they want to see insurance estimate and photos), might be able to start on before 2024. If not I'll start considering shipping the car to Chicago or other places around the country.

My wife got a new Tesla MY 2 weeks ago (this is our first Tesla). This weekend some guy at a stop light turned into her car from the left lane, making a right turn in front of her where she couldn't avoid him hitting the car. Of course he says he didn't have insurance. Tesla MY collision front...
