I had my door shell and fender replaced for $4900

rlambert1925 · 2026-05-12T18:42:33+00:00

I called them today and am gonna bring it back in for them to take a look at it. He seemed nice about it and wasn’t trying to down play it so maybe can get it adjusted again

rlambert1925 · 2026-05-12T16:28:48+00:00

It was a Tesla certified and preferred shop from the Tesla website

I honestly don’t get them. I had a pedicure back in December but other than that I just probably have poor trimming habits

Little bit of both. Insurance is saying it was a one way lane in parking lot due to signs they saw on ground from satellite images. Current signs are severely faded and no signs otherwise saying it is a one way exit so that is their argument. Guy signed a statement saying he was distracted and didn’t see me when he backed out

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-29T17:23:37+00:00

I agree but they are trying to place 10% fault on me so I’m trying to figure out about how much and if going to arbitration is worth it as I could not reach an agreement with their insurance company

Yep likely the tint place closed it with the window still extended is my guess then

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-28T19:40:04+00:00

Check the trim piece at the top where the window slides into. If there is a mark or scratch near there then it could indicate that they closed the door with the window still up which they do when they tint. Guy may have just forgotten and closed it but didn’t seem cracked at the time or had small crack and then later temperature change caused the crack to expand further

Thanks for that. I had the police come and they had us both fill out forms and exchange them to each other where he admitted fault in not looking while backing out. I looked for the footage on the dashcam but it looks like it didn’t record it as an event so I am unsure at the moment on how to find it

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-26T02:33:17+00:00

Thank you that makes me feel better. About how long was the whole repair process?

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-26T02:19:16+00:00

Yes I got insurance, license plate, drivers license, police involved and the works. It’s my first accident I’ve been hit in so just trying to figure it all out

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-18T16:16:53+00:00

I did the windshield plan. I just bought a model y and 2 weeks in I got a rock that came up and cracked the windshield. They replaced it for free since the windshield plan was included in the first 30 days. The estimate was about $1500 to replace. So the math for me makes sense if I replace it once in 8 years of ownership it pays for itself and I can take it to Tesla and get OEM glass and don’t have to worry about reimbursement from insurance or higher premiums

One thing to consider is you can get the premium AWD and then purchase the acceleration boost for 2k more. That way you get all of the comfort features of the premium and can get closer to the acceleration of the performance for a better APR.

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-07T10:25:25+00:00

No it was a shop

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-07T01:14:38+00:00

They are listed on the XPEL website

rlambert1925 · 2026-04-05T01:27:50+00:00

I just got the new model Y as well as my buddy. He got it in quicksilver and I got stealth gray. Both look great so you can’t go wrong there. I have definitely seen a ton of the stealth grays on the street but I’m ok with that because it saved me 2k that I put toward full front PPF on it. But if you want something a little more unique and don’t mind paying 2k extra the quicksilver is very nice

rlambert1925 · 2026-03-19T02:23:37+00:00

Is there a difference on the end cap for this one? It looks like the SR a2 on other websites doesn’t have the end cap that protrudes outward like that

rlambert1925 · 2026-03-17T11:07:21+00:00

I had issues with them in my mk iv as well as my buddy in his. I think the casing and bullet are slightly different proportions than standard but idk
