    Advice on repairing damage from minor fender-bender

Insurance will cover it minus the $500 deductible. It's primarily a small dent above the wheel in the metal panel as shown and some scraped paint...

    How much was the additional cost for the metallic green paint?

    Unfortunately my Model S was involved in a accident on Monday. Does anyone remember the original cost for the paint color in case it’s totaled?

    Significant damage to right side of my Model 3

    Well, the unexpected happened. I was t-boned by a speeding car while I was turning left in an otherwise clear intersection (he was going 45mph in a 30 zone and flew around a corner before he hit me). Still waiting on the police report, but I hope I'm found not at fault. Pretty significant damage...

    Hey everyone.. got into an accident this morning. A woman hit me coming through an intersection after I stopped at a stop sign. Insurance should cover everything (I may or may not have to pay a deductible), but I'm concerned the damage is beyond repair. I scheduled some time with the local...
