I was involved in an accident where the other driver ran a red light and I hit his rear end as he sped through the intersection. No injuries and I was going so slow the Tesla didn't even register the accident and ended up deleting the video footage. The real issue is that only certified body shops can service Tesla, which in the Metropolitan area of Seattle, there are less than 10.

The appointment to even have my car looked at for an estimate is scheduled for May, 8th 2024, 6 months from now. This doesn't include the time needed to order and wait for parts and then actually install them. I I could be without my car for an entire year due to this minor accident, all the while making the monthly payment.

I really enjoyed the car before this, but in hindsight I wish I would have bought something less specialized.
