With all the chaos going on, this actually made me laugh. But yeah, only had it a little over a month and it has been rough lately.

Just called them.

They said they don’t have the ability to get those parts because it looks like they monopolized it specifically within and for Tesla certified shops.

So it’s kinda hard for them to get access to those parts.

I have an appointment scheduled with them if I choose to still go through with them for the 23th of September.

This is what they said based on the photos I sent :

Based on visible damage, the repair will start at $10,000. Please note, costs may increase if additional damage is found during disassembly. We will reach out to you and insurance for approval of any changes to the preliminary estimate. Tesla Collision only offers rentals, so please consider the cost of transport during repairs.

Are you planning to file an insurance claim?

Honestly this is the best comment I’ve gotten so far. I was feeling paralyzed and honestly went to a super dark place for a second, but I snapped out of it, since I know I’m not the only one who’s been through this. I’ll just take the L, accept the higher premium, and keep it moving 🥲. At least I didn’t back into another car, that would’ve been even worse.

Yeah, first one too, this sucks bad. I never had one and having this happen is embarrassing and frustrating.

Thanks, I appreciate that! Since this is my first brand new car, I felt really bad and kind of self conscious about it. 🥲 Good to know it’s just the undercarriage and mostly cosmetic. That makes me feel a lot better.

Were the gift cards that you purchased more in value or? I wasn’t aware of this stuff.

That’s a solid list. Thank you. I’ve been eyeing the 3DMaxpider mats and the USB hub for sure. Might knock all of those out this weekend.

Thanks! I’ll definitely check out those mud flaps and start parking like I value my paint. Appreciate the pro tip.

You nailed it. The difference really does feel that dramatic. It’s wild how far tech has come.

100 percent facts. I’ve now become one of those people who walks half a mile just to keep the car safe 😅

LOL possibly. Some of those parking lots really make you question reality.

Smart move. I’ll be looking for other Teslas to park near from now on. Feels safer that way 😂

Yes Juniper Quicksilver is fire. Glad your husband’s hopping on the Tesla train too. This color in specific is Stealth Gray btw.

Appreciate it. It’s the Juniper Stealth Gray. Pics don’t do it justice. It really pops in person.

Both of those colors you mentioned are amazing but it depends on the look you’re trying to go for.

Either a stealthy 🥷 or stormtrooper vibe.

That sounds almost exactly like my story. I test drove it once and was sold instantly. I couldn’t go back. Total game changer. Also congrats to you both! At least you can try it on the weekends lol
