Deer collision

[Jsul23851]

I hit a deer in VA doing 50ish. Does anyone have any preliminary estimates for the repair based on the images or prior experience ?

The frunk opens but needs an extra hand to close .

Tesla Collision charged $3,000 for my fender replacement, so I would estimate 3x that as a WAG (Wild Ass Guess).

Need to get me a deer fence on the front... This keeps happening ?

Sorry to hear it. Let us know the repair bill

Approximately $12,000 for new frunk, bumper lights, etc..

Is there a recommended steel aftermarket option for the front bumper or do i need to replace back to factory oem ?

There are plenty of aftermarket metal bumper options, some from the site sponsors. It could be worse, you could be the deer..

Hitting deer is different than hitting a car or tree. You may be considered “not at fault” it probably won’t be considered a collision. It will may be covered by you comprehensive.

Headlight replacement if you wanted to do it on your own (same part price either way).

Also if you have loose panels 3M double sided automotive tape will hold them on. When I tried to pry it off at the collision center it still wouldn't come loose.

Here it is. Remember no labor or headlight install and I paid the $1200 at the service center for the headlight (2-3 months out on my service visit and 3 hours away).

I also did not replace the front bumper as it was not damaged and was all scratched up from offroading, and would be again, LoL.

Thanks for sharing the quote. Your damage looks similar to mine .

 

[btcrealm]

Yeah I think the only difference really is the bumper but they quoted that anyway.

While in FSD @ 25MPH, Poor Rudolph ran into passenger side of the truck. I was a bit surprised to see the total repair cost at $8000. This includes the obvious damage you can see in the picture including the steel panel above in front of the door and the long steel that goes above the door Sanding the driver door panel and the rear (passenger side) steel panel to name a few Items. Then again everything is expensive nowadays.
