I had an accident yesterday, and had damage that I feel is extensive on the passenger (right) side of the car.
It's early on in terms of getting things sorted out with insurance, but I'm getting a bit concerned about the direction it may go. The insurance company has sent it to a repair shop that is on their list for assessment. I've inquired about the one that Tesla recommended, and the insurance company is claiming they won't warranty the work if it's sent to Tesla's recommended (if it comes to that).
I'm concerned because I don't rightly know whether the repair shop has any experience with Teslas and what other implications there may be resulting from this from Tesla's end. I believe I've read that if Tesla isn't satisfied with the repairs they won't allow access to the Supercharger network - amongst other things.
I'm also concerned about post-repair issues and whether Tesla would get involved in repairing it.
Thoughts?
