It's the "all knowing" part that bothers my wife

Car's are consumable items. The last couple years of used Tesla's selling for more than new are over and with the new price cuts on new cars, makes the resale value of used cars even lower. Tesla's are expensive luxury items so the loss of "paper value" sucks. Every day the value of your Tesla will decrease with mileage driven and days passing.I'm scared of turning that $20k drop into a realized loss
Always a huge fear of mine. Especially since I use a roof rack on my 3 but a hitch mount on the Y soI got this on Amazon and I have it attached to the inside of my door so when the door is open it hangs down and I’m staring right at it.
Try a different shop. Yes I realize the shop is blaming Tesla, but…Update for anyone following: STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE NEW GLASS FROM TESLA. I call the shop every week hoping "squeaky wheel gets the grease" but squeaky wheel hasn't gotten *sugar*.
Coming up on 4 months and still no repairs done from this accident.
Shop INSISTS it's a Tesla problem...
Put a tow hitch on your car and use a bicycle rack with that, and no more fear about destroying your car, bicycles, and garage at the same time.View attachment 931423

Why would anyone have a bike when you have a car.
You want a bike, get a hog. I am very lazy.
Service center is out because the frame rails need repair right where the glass is. My first call was to Tesla SC and that's what they told me.Try a different shop. Yes I realize the shop is blaming Tesla, but…
Or maybe have it done at a service center? My service center replaced my windshield. They may do the roof as well.

This matches with many accounts of how body shops do things. They just say they have ordered a part (which they may or may not have) and then put your car into storage, when being even a slight bit more proactive can easily get the part shortly delivered. Unfortunately owners have to do the parts ordering legwork themselves.Update:
Got my car back from the body shop. You would never even know the damage occurred.
It took 4 months for my car to get fixed. 2 weeks in, The body shop told me the first piece of glass came in broken and that they had to order it again. After weeks of waiting for the 2nd glass order, the story was that "there is a supply chain issue and there is nothing [we] can do except wait for Tesla to send the 2nd glass". Another month goes by. I called my insurance agent and asked him to reach out to the shop. Same story. Except this time they told him "the 2nd glass order ALSO arrived broken" which is something they never told me....
Finally, I called the service center closest to me (2 hours away) and asked if they had Model 3 roof glass. They said "we have a couple crates of them, come on down and buy one". I then called the body shop (who are an hour closer to Tesla than I am. They are in between me and Tesla) and told them what Tesla just told me. Lo and behold, within 2 days I get a call that "my glass has arrived from Tesla!" They got me scheduled for the repairs, and from drop off to completion was 1 week.
Moral of the story: if you're ever waiting on a body shop glass order, go over their head and speak to the service center about the glass. Tell your shop to get the f**king glass from the service center instead of waiting for a mail order from wherever tf.
The body shop would adamantly remind me that "they ordered the glass and it keeps arriving broken".
I 100% file this as a body shop issue and not a Tesla issue. It feels like the body shop was doing f*ck all to actually try to get the glass. They were just clicking "order now" and then saying their hands were tied. I shouldn't have to track down the glass my self.
