My Model Y LR recently got hit while parked. Sentry mode caught the accident (also got alerted via Tesla app) and I am filing the claim against the at-fault party's insurance (StateFarm).
I plan to get this repaired at a Tesla Collision Center in the area. Tesla Collision Center's initial estimate is a little shy of $5k while StateFarm's initial estimate is $3k(mainly due to lower labor rates quoted by SF). Tesla said that they will try to work with StateFarm on the costs (fingers crossed!)
Given that this is a brand new car with less than 5k miles (purchased in Dec 2022), I was wondering if it is worth pursuing a diminished value claim against StateFarm?
Here is a picture of the damage (the door is dented just in case it isn't clear in the photo)
