So my Model S was rear ended today and damaged the lift gate, rear bumper and autopilot/park assist sensors in the back. Any ideas on turn around time for parts / repairs. The body shop couldn't give me an estimate.

That’s what I am doing. They need to take it apart to see all the damage. Not confident that it will be quick ...From what I've read, it's best to shop around for a Tesla-approved body shop that will give you a time estimate before you leave your car there. A good shop would take a look at your car ask call Tesla for timing on the required parts.
Mine was 3 months for similar repair. Which shop?Just got my S back from an Tesla authorized body shop in Denver area. They replaced the rear bumper, supports, re-shaped the hatchback door back to the original curve AND replaced a rear quarter panel. Took just under 8 weeks.

Ouch! How fast was the light pole moving?So on Feb 10, 2016 my P90D went into John Eagle Collision Center in Dallas Texas and is considered one of the best repair facilities in the region. sadly it is December 11, 2017 and I still don't have my car back though its been said that this week is my week. I've been told its parts acquisition but the 10 month repair has been [painful and they should have totaled the car long ago but instead, USAA chose to fix it and when it started looking like it was going to go over the top i was told that they were 'Sticking' and fixing the car, regardless of cost. currently its at 80,000 for the repair and over 10 months!!! I want to complain to Tesla as the repair place claims its 100% entirely on parts acquisition and had given me 100's of emails showing back and forth with Tesla parts trying to get the correct parts as they are apparently sending the wrong parts all the time but not sure where to begin

Still outrageous.Ouch! How fast was the light pole moving?
Feb 10, 2017, perhaps?
That's who I used. They did good work, the the time it took was very exasperating.Barry: Used Stuttgart Auto Body.
This makes no sense. My car is at a Tesla-certified shop and they'e ordered batch after batch of parts from Tesla. I think these guys are making stuff up.They claimed Tesla would only allow them two part orders so they tore the car down to expose all internal damage so they could get all the parts the first time. Stuttgart had no problem with placing a second order after discovering a bent support.
