Usually not the first one, but if it keeps happening, yes and the reasoning is that you are exhibiting behavior that ends up costing the insurance company money, even if it isn’t your fault.FYI...Going through your own insurance for not at fault accidents does make your premiums go up whether you like it or not.
There's an old hag at work that does that all the time and it drives me nuts.
Sorry to hear your car got hit by the storm. We had a similar storm up by Golden last year. I know at least one Tesla owner's car was totalled by that one. I think he might've actually gotten it repaired after that, IIRC. He had a funny nickname for his car while he was driving it around with all the dents. One of our cars got a few dings in it a few weeks back but nothing like the damage I've seen from the Golden and Colorado Springs hail storms.I was curious how this eventually turned out. I was considering a diminished value claim, as well.
I am also in Colorado Springs and just had my 2016 Model S pummeled by a freak hail storm. My insurance is still trying to figure out whether to repair it or salvage it, but the current estimate is $20-30k of repairs. And since the hail storm affected thousands of people, auto-body shops are slammed and are scheduling appointments several months out, not to mention whatever the repair time actually ends up being.
And to top it off, there aren't any rental cars available.
My goal is to move it below Nosecone but with the AP radar there, it doesn’t look like I have many options other than risking a ticket with the fact I have tinted windows and a flashy color, I am thinking can be an expensive decision.

They were pretty big in both storms. Baseball to softball sized...A hail storm did 30k worth of damages wtf....what was the size of the rocks?
Be VERY careful about any dents to the windshield aperture!! Not only for possible future air leaks and water intrusion, but because your windshield being securely attached to the aperture is part of the passenger's supplement restraint system (airbag).
They were about the size of tennis balls and softballs. Some were even bouncing of one car and hitting another... so sad.A hail storm did 30k worth of damages wtf....what was the size of the rocks?
Thanks... I guess it is pretty common around here. It seems like the insurance company is going to total it. I should get the final word today or tomorrow.Sorry to hear your car got hit by the storm.

Holy cow! Now I'm definitely glad my car is being totalled!Hey Chaz,
Sorry to hear about your car man. I was able to rush my car into the maintenance bay at work just prior to that exact same storm. I work over by PAFB. We didn't get hit too bad. I actually just purchased the hail protector pillow system for my car! $280
Anyways, to answer your original question on updates on this claim. I still don't have my car totally fixed! It's in for the bumper cover right now. Long story short...avoid Stuttgart at all costs!!! I thought Service King in Castle Rock was bad. Stuttgart will straight up lie to you. They had my bumper for 3 weeks and never called me. I had to call Tesla to figure out when it was delivered and they said 3 weeks ago. Called Stuttgart and they said they didn't know it was mine. Also they charged the offendees insurance company over $12000 for a new bumper cover and quarter panel. You've got to be kidding me!?
As far as the DV claim goes, I have to wait until the repairs are done and then get a couple trade in quotes with and without the accident on record. I send that to Philidelphia and they make an offer to me. If I take it, fine. If not, I call a DV attorney and let them handle it for a few hundred bucks. I'll probably just take the first offer at this point as I just want to put this nightmare behind me.
It sounds like your car is getting totalled so that's probably a good thing. If not Stuttgart would have replaced every single panel on the car. Trust me, I watched them doing this to a Model X that had hail damage. They told me that specific car was up to $35k in damage, FROM HAIL!!!
Also, Colorado doesn't have diminished value laws so you wouldn't be able to get anything from your insurance if you wanted. The only reason it might work for me is because the insurance company I'm dealing with is small and based in Philly.

Good luck on getting your baby back!Tesla....slow rolling you even when your car is bag of smashed a55 and you're ready to go buy again!
Yea, definitely a good thing that you're getting it totalled. I did the 20% payout increase rider with USAA just in case mine gets hit with hail. It was $60 every 6months. A good portion of hail damaged Teslas in Colorado are totals. If not for the hail damage itself, just for the rental car coverage while it's "in the shop." Make sure whatever the insurance is giving you that they take into account any additions. Autopilot, premium upgrades, even clear-bras are usually covered. Also, do some comparables from the Tesla CPO site and used car dealers. Don't let them screw ya.
Hoping to get my car back today! Fingers crossed.
