After repairs done by Tesla Approved Body shop - Experience

[krishna385]

I was rear-ended badly by a semi. Luckily my Model 3 battery is not damaged. So, my car is not totaled.

My question now: after my car gets repairs done a Tesla approved body shop, will I get any issues from the car? If I get into issues, still will I have the warranty I get from Tesla?

Thank you in advance.

Glad you're okay after your accident.

You have your full warranty, getting into a wreck does not negate that.

Be aware that Tesla might send you back to the body shop if you have a corrosion or paint failure issue in a part of the car that was repaired by that shop.

Also, be aware that "noise" issues like squeaks and rattles are only apparently covered by Tesla for one year so if you observe any of those after the car is repaired you'd want to get them addressed right away.

Good luck.

Just heads up: according to a buddy of mine who’s 3 just went into the shop, parts take forever to get from Tesla (in LA, their approved body shop is quoting 6 weeks for parts!)

Take it to a official Tesla owned body shop. I took mine to Pomona and they did an awesome job repairing my bumper. And it's covered under Tesla warranty since it was repaired by them.

Mine is in the shop already for 4 weeks, they are saying at least 9 weeks.
