Hi,
I bought a smashed 2016 Tesla S 90D in Sydney, Australia with the intention of repairing it and getting it on the road here in New Zealand.
Fixing what I call the 'important' issues is easy. A new rear right set of suspension is soon to be bolted on then the car will be driveable once more.
I'm struggling to get what I considered the 'superficial' body damage repaired. The authorised body repairer in Sydney is busy and unhelpful. There isn't an authorised repairer in NZ yet. I have found a helpful company with Aluminium vehicle specialisation fairly close to me. They need the Tesla repair procedures. I am waiting on callbacks from Tesla workshop and parts people to see if I can get this information and prices for the body parts. I'm not holding my breath.
If any of you could lay your hands on repair procedures I would be very grateful. I am also interested in anyone with experience in putting used panels on to a car. It seems from what I've read as though this isn't possible but it goes against a lot of what I know.
Thanks,
Niall
