Sorry guys to bring you a depressing image as my first post on a pleasant Friday evening. Basically I scratched my right side quarter panel against a wall, and below is the result. I am bringing this to a Tesla certified shop tomorrow to take a look, and there is a chance that they will recommend a (costly) replacement that will probably take a few weeks if not more.
I've been looking around for aluminum body repair information, but cannot reach a confident conclusion on whether this damage is repairable or not, since it kind of falls outside of both the minor and serious damage range. You see there are dents across a long area on the panel although they are all pretty shallow.
What do you guys think? If they indeed recommend a replacement should I even bother bringing this to a non certified repair shop to take a look? If so, any recommended shops around the Greenwich, CT or upper state New York area?
Thanks guys.
