accident insurance repair

I was hit on driver side while waiting at intersection. Significant damage to wheel, bumper although airbags were not deployed. Any idea if this damage is repair able or a total loss?

This is my first ever brand new car. I purchased it on December 31 in the afternoon. 20 minutes after midnight what seemed like a drugged driver rammed into my stationery vehicle while waiting to get out of a parking lot after taking the family to watch fireworks. The car had 45 miles on it...

Few days ago, I was driving down to Houston on State Highway 75 S when a deer jumped and landed right at my left headlight. I was going about 50 mph. Both of us are safe and actually I didn't even feel such a strong impact when we hit the deer (felt almost nothing). Deer was already in air when...

Had an uninsured driver rear end me while on a cell phone about a week ago. Luckily both me and my toddler seem to be alright. The car seems to drive alright, but how bad does the damage look? Do you think there’s any structural damage and should I push for it to be totaled? Insurance is...

Was in an empty parking lot and seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out smart summon. My Y was parked in reverse in a space and I was about 150 feet away. It started out smooth, driving itself forward and leaving the space. Then it had to make a left-handed U-turn to go around a small...

Parked outside restaurant and someone backup and bumped into my back. I messaged Tesla and figured the service center could not repair and referred to body shop. Would you guys think it needs to be replaced the whole trunk? The bumper has no lost paint but got pushed in. Anybody knows any good...

Hi - My 2017 ModelX got rear-ended 10 days ago. I was driving in a carpool lane and slowed down to change lanes. A lone driver in the carpool lane (yes, in carpool lane) didn't notice it and rear-ended me. Other party was co-operative and took the responsibility. Their insurance agreed to...

Hello. My car was rear-ended in Sept 2022. The at-fault insurance company (Allstate) admitted fault and gave me the option to choose my own shop for repair. I chose Tesla collision center. After 2 months of wait, Tesla quoted the repair cost of about $30k (9k in parts + 21k in labor). All state...

My 2 day old Model 3 LR was rear ended on the freeway :-( My initial estimate to repair is $25,376.79. At this point I don't even want it repaired but have to go with whatever the insurance decides. Any advise from people in similar situations?

Hello, My new (to me) 2017 Model S P100D was involved in an accident that I've been deemed not at fault for. Been having a hard time getting my claims adjuster on the phone, have left a bunch of messages politely asking to talk. The one time I spoke to him he was polite enough, just very...

I T-boned a pickup that decided to pull out in front of me never looking left to see if traffic was coming… cops determined it was his fault, and I have the sentry video to prove it. Worst thing is the PPF wrap didn’t do a thing 😜 Can anyone With experience determine if this level of damage...

Got bumped by a distracted driver yesterday and the tailgate is dented. :( Looks like the rear bumper is also dislodged and/or broke the clips as well. See photos below. Will this be an easy fix(PDR) or does it require replacing the tailgate and bumper? The other party has GEICO and will be...

My 2021 Tesla Model Y got rear ended pretty bad by a Chevy Silverado. The trunk and bumper are completely damaged and the trunk won’t even close. The other person was at fault and I have the footage from all the cams saved as well. The other person shared their insurance for filing the claim...

Hi All! I unfortunately got into a car accident in my MY Long Range. It broke my heart into pieces. The car was picked up mid November I have 9000 miles. I took it straight to my local shop where I've had work done on a bunch of my friends, and families cars. All came out great. I'm beginning to...

Cry for me. My 6-month-old 2020 M3P with less than 4k miles was involved in a minor accident over the weekend. The bumper took the brunt of the damage but the hood is bent I think. It doesn't sit flush with the fenders anymore. The headlights are also slightly misaligned. Still in the process of...

I wanted to share an experience I am having with Tesla Insurance. I am an unashamed fan of Tesla and have been willing to deal with challenges to support the brand, technology, and the changes Tesla is driving in the industry to foster more competition and better products. So, being an early...

I was on 101N at Gilroy. I had just merged on to the highway and was on the lane next to the rightmost lane. Within few mins and huge car came and crashed into my Tesla model 3 from the rear right side. He was driving so fast that I completely lost control and drove all the way diagonally...

About 3 weeks ago, some idiot drove into the back of my car when I was stopped at a traffic light. Fortunately he had insurance and the police ticketed him. Dropped my car off this morning at the Marietta, GA Service Center to get the rear fascia replaced, and the car inspected for hidden...

A Garbage truck on 880 ruined my Friday. Yesterday I was driving home and taking an exit to get off of freeway when all suddenly saw a tire flying towards me. As you can expect, of course, it hit my model 3 on driver side. Long story short: tire on truck tore off, the thread pilled off and hit...

As we start seeing more and more Tesla on the road, unfortunately and inevitably more and more will get involved in accidents. I am trying to create a one-stop-thread where the unlucky but experienced owners can at least share their story in the format I am suggesting below. It’ll help the...

Otherwise I love this car. Body shop says the following damage has become quite common lately. I guess people are getting too dependent on these sensors. Just ran into a high curve on the passenger side while getting out of the parking spot. Sensor on the right side gave no visual or audio...

On June 13 my pristine 2016 MX with 18,000 mi, was rear ended on the GG Bridge. I braked for slow moving traffic, was hit by a pos pickup truck pushing me into the van in front of me. Six vehicles involved, fortunately no injuries and all were able to drive off the bridge. I got Blu back from...

I just recently had a minor accident in a parking lot. I've been to the Tesla authorized body shop in my region. I'll need a new front bumper cover and some chrome pieces. The total estimate is about $3,600. I'm told the bumper arrives "raw," and has to be primed and painted. The fenders are...

I had an accident yesterday, and had damage that I feel is extensive on the passenger (right) side of the car. Tesla Accident by TrevTremaine posted Mar 3, 2017 at 4:07 PM It's early on in terms of getting things sorted out with insurance, but I'm getting a bit concerned about the direction...
