r/TeslaCollision

A few weeks ago during the rain I decided to use smart summon to pick up my family in front of a restaurant. My car (2018 Model S) side swiped the car next to it pulling out, took my car to the shop going through insurance. Today car shop called me and told me repair is 14k and insurance declared this a total loss. Car shop is refusing to reassemble the car for me, I am totally dumbfounded.

Is there is anything I can do to get my car back? I can comfortably pay 14k out of pocket but neither the car shop nor insurance seems to advise it.

Do yall think this is totaled? I really don't want it to be just got the car pre owned 4 months ago and i'll be under if It gets totaled

I was backing out of my garage like I do every day and made the turn too early and ripped off my front bumper. Any ideas on what I should do? How much will this cost me?

2021 Model 3 SR+ w/ 68k miles

Tesla Insurance

UPDATE: Got a quote from a Tesla-Certified Dealer for $2500. My deductible is $2500. Wondering if I should just file a claim and do it at Tesla since I am paying $2500 regardless.

Someone cut me off causing me to hit rear of their bumper Tesla approved body shop said it will cost 6k to fix this ?
Any ideas?
Located in Seattle

Drove over this bolt and heard a loud bang. The damage is superficial right? I could tape over it to block water and debris from getting inside but how to repair it for the long term?

Damaged my rocker panel by turning into a curb. Will this be covered under warranty? if not, how much should I expect to pay.

I backed into a fire extinguisher holder at my hospitals parking garage going into work all this for rushing unfortunately. I want to get it fixed because it’s a 2025 and I feel so bad for having ruined it so soon, would I have to replace the whole trunk? There’s also a slight dent on the “drive safe” sticker (I should’ve listened to it) how much do you think it could be? It’s a Model Y 2025 RWD
Edit: will take recommendations for SoCal body shops! Closer to San Diego preferably!

80ish mph impact. Car lost coolant then screen shut off 10ish minutes later.

I just got a used model 3 2023 from Carmax and scratched the left side of the car while parking next to a pole. I’m just wondering approximately how much repair will be… there’s a slight dent on the bottom half of the door and I use Geiko as my insurance. I definitely want it repaired but are there any tips

Well I’m an idiot and backed out of my parking spot right into the shopping cart barricades. I’m assuming the silver is my paint completely off and this won’t just easily buff out.

Someone hit my parked Tesla and they want to pay out of pocket. If I get this repaired via Tesla collision center , will this go on my carfax/autocheck?

I hit a curb in My fairly new Tesla 😭😫 still getting used to how low she is and now idk what to do. It’s small so I don’t want an insurance claim over this but it is a dent. Any advice is welcomed (FOR FIXING THE CAR, gosh)

I was driving around downtown Toronto, Ran into a very bad pothole. Had FDS activated. Ended up with this scratch in both sides of the undercarriage. Nothing underneath- Just sides.

Did I void any warranty? Did I void my HV battery warranty? Your help is appreciated on this matter.

Car is running fine. No service alerts in on the dashboard. Happened over a week ago.

2026 Model Y, less than 2 months old.

Had a small front-end accident with my 2022 Tesla Model 3. I’ve attached photos of the damage. There are also some scratches on the bumper.

Any idea what a reasonable repair cost might be? Is it better to go through Tesla or an independent Tesla-certified body shop?

Came out to the car this afternoon and noticed the bumper popped off on both sides. No impact damage on the paint or nearby panels. Does it look to be an expensive repair?

I was wondering how bad the damage looks. Accidental bump into a car from stand still to 2mph before the bump in accident happened. It was a very light tap, but of course upset that I damaged my car also.

Does it look bad in the sense that it can be repairable by Tesla or would a new replacement be better/needed.

For context it was into a pickup truck only the step up bumper touched to my car luckily. Which is why the imprint looks the way it does.

I also do see on the indents (closer up pics provided) the paint from what I see looks like it didn’t crack and just rippled from what I see it’s called. I would assume that give some upside?

On the more light up end pictures there is some lighter markings most likely from the step up bumper of the pick up, I can’t tell if it’s just like dirtied or if the paint came off under that or once it’s buffed off it’s like nothing was there.

Wanted some thoughts given this was my first minor minor bump accident where I creeped up slightly at the light and this happened unfortunately.

Thanks for any input.
