I read through some of the similar threads to my question, but I still have some uncertainties, so I figured to post and hopefully get some good guidance. Another car hit me from behind at a red light and my MY is rather screwed up on the left side because of the impact (to the point that the rear gate looks as if it's open). I have Tesla insurance and the other driver has (in my opinion) some regional bull crap insurance. I am waiting on his insurance's claim department to get back to me, but I fear the worst..... The Tesla collision centers here in the Dallas area are booked up until mid-January ... if I choose the closest one outside of the Dallas Metroplex, it would be down to Austin -- almost 3.5 hours away. Prior to this situation, I have never been in a wreck and never had to deal with another person's insurance to fix my vehicle..... There is a small amount of Tesla approved collision centers in the Dallas area, but not many of them are highly reviewed!! And the one I was leaning towards because of the positive reviews will only deal with TWO insirance companies for Tesla vehicles (and of course, the other party doesn't have that!). What I have read here seems to all indicate that what the insirance estimates versus what the repairs are do NOT come close to being the same .... I personally would prefer to take my ride to Tesla for them to repair because I feel they would do the overall better job. My questions: what should I do if the other party low balls the estimate? Should I go the route of getting an attorney to deal with this mess?
