    Insane repair estimate for 2015 MS

    I brought the car in for a clicking noise coming from the front suspension. The repair estimate came to $8274!?! It includes many suspension parts, but also brake parts? I just replaced front and rear rotors and pads 2 months ago. I don't know what they are tying to pull.

    Opinions on repair cost

    Hi everyone. A neighbor backed into my car while parked on the side of the street. I got a quote for $3,000 from a local reputable body shop. The bulk of the damage is to the front bumper. Most of it’s just a paint job. The plastic under the car that connects to the bumper was partially damaged...

    Sounds too good to be true - My rate doesn't go up after filing a collision claim with Tesla Insurance?

    If I file a claim through the Tesla app and pay my $1,000 collision deductible, my monthly rate really won't go up? That honestly sounds too good to be true, but that's what it says here: https://www.tesla.com/support/insurance/real-time-insurance#insurance-pricing There's a pretty serious...

    Loss of Supercharging capabilities

    Just wanted to let everyone know that it is possible to lose DC charging capabilities and still have AC charging. This happened on a holiday this year ... DC stopped charging ... but when we tried AC we were able to charge. Of course it took a few hours and stops to figure it out and try the AC...

    Cost to replace front bumper and one headlight?

    I hit a pillar and damaged my front bumper and one headlight (the headlight works fine but the covering is broken). Any idea of cost estimate to replace this? I have insurance from Progessive. Should I use insurance or pay out-of-pocket for fear of premium increase? Does just reporting this and...

    Head on collision repair

    I got into an head on collision at 15ml/hr. Amazing the car can get this damaged ! Anyway, I got an estimate for $19K. Is this normal? Does anyone have any experience? I went to a Tesla recommended repair, I haven't heard from the insurance adjuster, but I am afraid they will have objections...

    What should I do with my scratched model y?

    Hi, I just noticed today that my model y has a pretty big scratch and lower front bumper panel came off a little. I’m not sure how it happened. I wasn’t in any accident. From the sentry footage I don’t see anyone scratching my car(although I dunno if it captured everything). Question now where...

    "The bms have detected isolation failures conditions on multiple drive cycles"

    Hi, I have a Model S 85 2014. Nothing changed on the car, all original. While on a long road trip (UK to Spain) the car gave me different error messages (picture below). A bit of drama, but I was able to take it to the nearest Tesla Service Centre in Barcelona, Spain. Tesla UK told me the main...

    Model Y - Totaled or repair?

    I'm aware my insurance adjuster will make the final decision, but I'm interested if anybody else has experienced similar damage (cost) to their Model Y and what the outcome was. I'm only curious as I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and submit an order for a new car or wait to hear from...

    Model 3 collision damage - thoughts?

    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...

    Repair Estimate Model 3

    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...

    So Other person's insurance is going to Pay. We both have the Same Insurance Company. So initially I got a quote from Tesla it will cost $800 ( basically they will replace the bumper ). But Insurance insisted to go certified body shop which they are going to repaint and change one sensor and it...

    Unfortunately, I damaged the rear quarter panel and possibly the back passenger door of my 10-days old Tesla Model 3. The car scraped against a pillar while I was parking into the garage. I feel terrible. It was late at night and was the first time I was doing the parking maneuver while not...

    Accident damaged Model S, what do I need to repair this

    What would I need to get this Tesla back on the road apart from a new wheel, wing and bumper, shock absorber and brakes? Any idea how much it would cost to put it back on the road? Can't do it through insurance. Any help would be appreciated.

    Goodwill Repairs - Do They Get Counted?

    I had my fairly new model X in for repairs, the main one being the windshield which cracked in three places from the heater on a cold day. When I got the car back the repairs were no cost under warranty... except for the windshield. I asked the associate why I was being charged for the...

    Advice on bumper repair

    In less than 3 weeks of owning my M3, someone scraped their car against mine while it was parked and unoccupied. I was livid, but to the person's credit, they stayed on the scene and admitted to the deed. There's a pretty good scrape on the rear bumper and the side was dislocated from the rest...

    Warranty Coverage on Read Windshield

    HI Everyone, So today something very weird happened. While I was trying to mount my Thule rear trunk bike rack onto my Model S, in a moment that felt like a gentle snap of a finger, the rear windshield cracked at the top left. It happened so calmly and without any force that it almost seemed to...

    Holy crap, repairs are insanely expensive, beware!!

    on Jan 19, 2016 I slid on ice in a parking lot in my new P90D. I hit a patch of ice in a slight downhill slope resulting in me hitting a curb. After hitting the curb, I check out the car, no visible damage. Parked the car, went into my office. All seemed fine. When backing out of the parking...
