An object scratched the side of my Model 3 front passenger door. Went to a few auto body shops and they quoted me between $1k - $2k to repaint the front and back passenger door (to blend it) One of them said they could use a primer after which I could get it wrapped (which I don't mind) Would...

While pulling out of my garage I managed to scrape the front bumper on the wall corner :( The scratch is around 3 inches long but quite deep. Is this worth trying to fix myself using the paint repair kit? (5-10 coats or so?) Does anyone know how much a damage like this would cost to fix at a...

My Model got a couple of scratches on top of the trunk because a garage door feel on it. While it's an eyesore, it seems to be pretty surface-level. You could see the scratches in the pics below. I was thinking of taking it to my Tesla Service Center because I need to get my HW3 upgrade anyway...

I’ve been a long-time lurker on this forum and recently had my M3 hit while it was parked leaving a softball-sized dent and very deep scratches above the rear drive-side wheel-base (pic below). I had seen some posts on here about issues with autobody shops paint-matching, especially with the...

Hi All - I had a minor scratch on the car and Tesla has asked me to go to one of their approved body repair shop. As the car is only 10 days old, I feel somewhat jittery to leave the car with a shop that is not Tesla. The car might be there for 2-3 days in the shop. Do you guys recommend...
