A friend backed into the front of my M3 on October 11th of last year with her large SUV. It was entirely her fault and we both were insured by the same company, so I wasn't worried about any issues regarding insurance. I took my M3 to a Tesla authorized collision center the next day for an estimate. The car was very drivable but the front bumper, frunk lid and one headlight were in bad shape. They told me it would be at least $6000 to repair. They also said that, because of the volume of business they had, they wouldn't be able to take my car in until 11/1. Then I had to wait for an adjuster from my insurance company to do his estimate. He came to my house several days later. The first thing he told me was that his estimate would be on the low side, but not to worry. His estimate was just over $3000. The collision center called me and said I could bring the car in on 10/29. They got to work on it on 11/1. Not long afterwards, I started getting emails from Tesla keeping me appraised of the parts ordered, estimated shipping dates and estimated times of arrival at the collision center. I'd never experienced that with any other car I've owned. The parts list included 28 different items, including an entire new bumper, crash cans, both headlights, the front left and front right fenders, and numerous other parts including screws, nuts, bolts and sensors. Ultimately, the car wasn't ready until 12/13 and I picked it up on 12/15. The final cost was $9,206, but the insurance company covered everything and the car is like new.
