    Insurance paid out $7000 for scrape on Tesla Model 3 bumper...

    I called the adjuster and for context I asked him for a typical quote to replace the entire Tesla bumper. He said it is about 1k for the part and 2k for the labor and paint. This is way off. I believe he went to visit the shop. He was stammering the entire time during the entire conversation.

    Hi Tesla Motor folks! Wanted to get your thoughts on this. Situation: I live in a large urban city and I was parallel parking, going no more than 5 mph. I slightly scraped the tesla on the left bumper as shown in the picture below. I agree that I am 100% at fault for the scrape and I shared...
