My brand new Model X was rear-ended: Any advice?

Ate you able to get the car fixed? My car got hit in a similar way and looking for a body shop in Bay Area, CA, and also want to file for a DV claim.

My 2018 Model X got creased in a parking lot a few weeks ago in Pleasanton and the event was caught on the sentry cameras, a hit and run. I filed a police report and managed to trace the owner and am getting the problem taken care of. The plastic housing over the wheel well was cracked and damaged and I was going to take the car to a local body shop I knew. I went into the service center in Dublin, CA, to order the part, to speed up the repair. The service person who talked to me gave me good advice, to take the car to a Tesla-certified body shop near me instead and get the car repaired there. The shop did a great job, they buffed out the scrapes and fixed the side panel and wheel well perfectly. I have had a good experience with a Tesla-certified body shop, but as they say on the internet, your mileage may vary.

The reason I have a SpareBumper attached to the hitch is. Trying to minimize or prevent damage altogether. Really sucks man, such a beauty you have there. Love the color

Mind sharing a pic of your sparebumper? I live in TN and bad drivers seem to be flocking to my state. I have a blue MX on order and a black spare bumper might blend in pretty well. Does it make access into the trunk cumbersome?

Any update? I had a similar case on 11/13/2022, but still waiting for the parts. My car has been sitting on the repair shop almost 4 months so far.
