How much was the additional cost for the metallic green paint?

Sorry about your accident. Cost depends on when you ordered the car. Do you have your order agreement?
When I get a chance I’ll try to login to my Tesla account and search for it. It was a December 2014 build

When you log in to your web account, select Manage for the Model S and you’ll find the order agreement and other documents in the Glovebox section.

I believe in 2014, black and white were no extra charge, metallic colors including green were $750, and multi-coat colors were $1,500.

seriously I dono why they stopped the green.
When I move to leave the desert I'm gonna get the car painted, I'm hoping the cost difference at the body shop from the dark grey metallic to the green isn't much. Since insurance will pay for only the original color so I have to cover the difference with the color and door jambs.

Very sorry to hear about your accident. I believe it was $750. See attached for my Dec. 2013 order.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope both parties are alright! Your damage looks much worse than mine and your S is older, so I suspect you'll see it totaled.

Yea, we had a 2017 Model S totaled and it looked less damaged as well. I think one big deciding factor is if the battery is damaged. If it's totaled, the insurance will care about replacement value rather than how much it was new. They will find comparable cars and base their payout offer on. The silver lining for you is the fact that the current used car market is hot.

Beautiful indeed! Perhaps just the camera or my iPad, but the color appears to me more teal than green.
One of my previous cars was totaled. The tear down by body shop took 2 days and then another 2 to get the insurance adjustor to review results. I got the replacement cost about 2 days later. With that level of body panel damage alone, I would prepare yourself for it to be totaled.
Your insurance co. should manage beginning to end, and look out for your interests. Mine even added in window tint and prorated DMV registration. Then they provided 4 comps based on actual vehicles for sale with the same specs to estimate replacement. That should work for you in today’s market. FYI, I have Allstate and they were great.
I’m gonna miss my free supercharging as well (sigh) Glad your insurance took good care of you! Also glad you’re safe as well!

I'm in the middle of this process. They just started the tear down at the body shop yesterday.
I'm torn both ways. I'll miss the pano roof if I have to replace it, but on the otherhand, I'll get to fully enjoy v3 SuperCharging speeds.
