Window Tinter Sliced my window trim piece

Seems they've already admitted fault which is a good first step. I suggest having them pay for purchase and installation of a new trim piece from Tesla.

It's really hard to see what piece was damaged. If it's on the outside, that piece is anodized aluminum. It's not painted. It will be difficult to repair, and I doubt one piece of painted trim will match the rest of the anodized pieces.
That piece on my MY came damaged from the factory. It took the mobile tech no time to pop the old one off and install a new one.
I suggest pulling that one off and seeing if you can straighten it with your hands. It's quite thin and easy to bend. I suspect you can have it off, fixed, and reinstalled in less than five minutes.

I know exactly what happened there. That's a scratch from the glass. The tinter has to raise the glass to "close" as if the door was shut in order to tint the window fully. He just forgot to release the door handle afterwards and swung the door shut. Bang! Glass, meet window trim. The top "bright work" trim is around $35 and can be ordered from Tesla. You DO NOT want to repaint it because it's actually not painted but anodized steel. It will be next to impossible to match the texture and sheen.
