First collision since for me 1971. Was at the grocery store parking lot rolling to a stop to reposition the car to get into a tight spot. An elderly (that's anyone one day older than I) lady in a 2006 GMC extended cab pickup backed up out of her spot and into my car. She said I backed into her. When I informed her that my car has nine cameras, four of which are actively recording at all times she changed her tune. A little. The camera footage bears out my version. She still insisted that we not move the vehicles and call the police so they can determine who is at fault. I said fine but it will be ultimately up to the insurance companies. The fine officer made no determination of fault but just took the info for a report.
On the advice of my insurer I started a claim with her insurance company. That way it will not show up in my insurer's records. Good advice. Let's see how this goes. I will be getting an estimate on the damage next week. A local body shop that is Tesla certified and approved.
I plan on adding $2,000 to the claim for diminished value. You know that will show up on a CarFax report. Do you think $2,000 is enough?
