Mine went into service 3 times for what I would describe as creaking. Mostly happened when turning. Culprit was the corner console. Took then a bit to solve it.
Mine went in on 10/11 for the repairs in the attached photo. $17k and 45 days to repair is the estimateā¦
new front, new hood new driver door, new trim, new quarter panel, new bumper, new wheel, etc.
Update: truck goes in on the 11th to San Jose collision center. I had to argue with insurance to give me a rental before the service date but they eventually gave me one. Estimate is $15k plus cost to re-wrap. Hoping itās not there too long. Itās been sleeping in my garage since the accident and...
I just snapped a video of this from my phone on the Tesla screen. The actual footage from the USB stick is crystal Clear and it saved a much longer clip. This video made the liability question and decision take a day versus who knows how long⦠without it I wouldāve insisted on a police report.
Given the rare nature of the truck, I must take it to the Tesla collision center. The earliest appointment I could get was in December, however I got it moved up to October 11 in San Jose. As you suggest above the other drivers insurance company, State Farm, will not issue me a rental car until...
thankfully, yes. State Farm contacted me this morning and confirmed the other driver was 100% at fault and liable. I donāt mean to stereotype or make assumptions, but Luckily, I was in San Ramon. I am often in Berkeley and Oakland for work⦠I brought up loss of value and how they handle that...
he was polite, a bit shaken up. Said he didnāt see me and asked if I had just turned onto the road. I politely invited him into the car and showed him the video. He realized he obviously made a big mistake, but did not go as far to say āthat was totally my faultā. He did say ā Sorry about your...
the bumper is flimsy and crumpled. The stainless front corner took the brunt of the impact. Iād think a more substantial bumper would hold up better but the front stainless held up pretty well. Itās bent but still maintained mostly itās shape.
Unfortunately I was doing about 30-35 mph when he made this decision and given heād just turned on to the street he was only going about 5-10mph. I thought that since he illegally turned out into the middle lane that he was actually tying to cut across to make a left at the next light. I locked...
I donāt think they will total it but I think itās going to be $20-25k. The Stek wrap itself is $2k plus install. The front stainless assembly under the hood is all bent, front bumper, quarter panel trim, driver door, long trim that runs down the roofā¦.
