Got sideswiped by an uninsured idiot in a Uhaul making an illegal right turn from the left turn lane. My S saved my life, it could have been a lot worse. Entire driver door is crumpled inwards, car is barely drivable but it did a great job protecting me. I got some mild whiplash but nothing serious.
Every Tesla approved body shop in town is booked thru November and that doesn't include waiting for parts from Tesla. And this is my only car.
I'm really bummed because my S was immaculate with low miles and it's a solid roof model in silver that Tesla no longer make. I'd just spent half a day detailing it and it really breaks my heart to see what he did. I was civil after the accident but I'm pretty mad now especially given how much time I've wasted this week chasing insurers and body shops. If I was a vengeful type I'd hire an attorney but the dude looks pretty broke and I don't need the extra hassle.
I bought a 2021 Y off the Tesla website and they are apparently going to make me an offer on my S. I would have bought a brand new Plaid no questions except for the stupid yoke. I test drove the BMW IX as well, decent SUV and I would have bought that on the the spot but can't wait four months for one of those either.
Anyway, FML and don't get in an accident in your Tesla. Thanks for listening to my rant.
