I've reserved brand new showroom 2019 (Raven) TMX for decent amount 77k with 1400 miles (red/white/7seat/22 inch black rims) but just found out that it had a rear damage - clean title fixed by Tesla authorized mechanic.
Tesla stating:
This is a big purchase for me and this makes me second guess if there could be any potential issues with the battery, rear engine or other electronic components based on the impact.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Tesla stating:
" Per the vehicle history, this vehicle was involved in a collision on the rear and was repaired. No frame damage occurred due to this.
The liftgate, liftgate spoiler, and rear bumper were replaced due to impact. There was no frame damage, and everything has been repaired.
The repair was completed at a Tesla certified body shop using all OE parts, paints, etc. Our Tesla certified body shops even use the same air pressure when applying paint/clear to get to Tesla’s spec and match the colors precisely. "
Now I'm little bit hesitant if I should move forward with the purchase. For all the parts mentioned this seems to be as a big impact. Should I be demanding 3rd party inspection on this car or some certified letter from Tesla confirming what the salesman is stating?The liftgate, liftgate spoiler, and rear bumper were replaced due to impact. There was no frame damage, and everything has been repaired.
