Dude wasn't paying attention, clipped my right rear. No injuries.
I wonder how long parts are going to take to get. I hope not too long.

I think I'll need a new rear hatch, and full bumper. Not sure about anything underneath yet. I went to my preferred shop, and they've started putting an estimate together. Since they're not a certified tesla repair shop, they're not sure they can even get parts. I'll probably also take it to a local tesla certified shop and get an estimate there as well.

Ugh I can't stand idiots like this who are obviously too stupid to be driving a car. You are in charge of a 3000+lb weapon, pay attention. There is no excuse for this guy hitting you. Glad you are ok.

^^^^^^^^ What he said!! ^^^^^^^^
It's not like you made a quick stop and he was changing the radio station.
Hello,
Was just curious: did you end up going with your preferred non-certified Tesla shop or did you ultimately go with a certified one? Did they essentially replace the liftgate and the bumper? Would you mind sharing what the repair cost was?
Thanks!
My favorite body shop was not able to do the work so I took it to a local Tesla Certified location. I did NOT have to replace the hatch, they were able to straighten it. I also didn't have to replace the bumper. The heavy work was behind the bumper where a section of the body got bent badly which then pinched the wiring harness and shorted a body computer. Parts, parts, paint, labor, etc... final total was around $9k.
