Should I Repair?

2026 Model Y - I ended up swiping a guardrail at about 10mph. Pictures seem cosmetic. Is there any damage that would not be visible that I should be aware of? How much do you think it'd cost te repair and is it worth it? Thanks!

Thoughts?

Didn’t review my sentry footage until later in the day and saw this. I don’t have her car or license plate info. Is it possible or even worth it to go through insurance?

People need to supervise their kids!

I'm definitely going through insurance on this! What's crazy is that they did not even have the courtesy to leave a note!

🤬

Cost estimate? Tree branch fell

Any idea of cost estimate for rear quarter panel, trunk lid, and rear windshield replacement on a 2018 Model 3?

The car is driveable and has no other damage. So i would like to keep it for now I think.

Trying to determine if it could be less than my act of nature deductible at $2000.

Would you go through insurance?

I was sitting in my car when this child opened the door and hit my car.

Would you bother going to insurance for this?

Normally I would not and live with it but the parents kinda pissed me off.

First they tried to deny it happened but quickly changed it to "I'm not saying it didn't, just that I didn't see it happen" when I asked if they are serious.

Then when they saw the door clearly aligning with the spot they blamed their kid.

"We are sorry, he is just a kid" as if they are not the ones responsible for his actions??

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I don't see this little ding being worth going through insurance. Am I being silly?

What would you do?

2 weeks old MYP QS on White… and this happens today 🥹

I’m so gutted… Would a professional rims repair bring it back to life? Or Totaled?

Is this a write off / total loss?

2021 model 3, dual motor AWD. Will the insurance declare this a total loss? Rear ended and pushed into the blue car. I’m hoping it will be a total loss / write off!

25 standard range rwd, its totaled right?

Everyone is OK! Nurses said if it was almost any other car the injuries could’ve been severe.

Swiped front bumper against side of garage

Brand new Model Y smh.. I didn’t even scrape against it that hard but still got some decently deep scratches. Can this be repaired or will the entire bumper need to be replaced?

Don’t be this guy. Intentional Door-Ding

I’ve had my Model Y for almost 3 years now and never had something like this happen. So thankful for sentry mode and is such a great feature. His face and License plate is clearly shown in the video.

Tesla hit and driver left note

I received a note on my Tesla model three, somebody hit the rear bender on the passenger side. Called and Talked to them, they are willing to work with the insurance and even pay out-of-pocket if the amount is reasonable without getting insurance involved. How do I proceed?

She said it was her daughter driving the vehicle, and she will get the insurance information to us as soon as she gets back home since she was driving when I called.

UPDATE.
Insurance information has been exchanged, I contacted a local body shop and waiting on a quote.

On closer Inspection, I noticed my wheel has been scratched up as well along with the body paint. So the cost might go up than merely a patch up.

UPDATE

Received repair estimate - $1495 + rental cost.

Don’t be a Kelsea

If you want to change lanes please be sure to look and signal. Bitch swerved in front causing me to hit the median and then drove off. made a police report and the police asked if I wanted to file charges for hit-and-run and I said absolutely. The only reason I was able to identify was because of the dash cam. The other parties insurance took full liability and I find out today if it’s totaled or not, which I am hoping it’s not because it doesn’t look bad but the undercarriage may be damaged…..
