Thanks! All bumper parts on my order are currently in stock, so I’m expecting about the same turnaround time (my shop said about a week for parts that aren’t on backorder is why they’ve been seeing). It’s the backrodered ones that I worry about...7 days for a new bumper
FYI I got a notification that the for lamp assembly has shipped from Tesla and will be getting to the body shop tomorrow. So may be a good time to poke your shop again?I'm waiting on two of the same parts, I think. Been backordered since Dec 10th last year. Good luck to us all...
- Some sort of clip: 1088439-00-A S4 PA RETAINER, FRT FASCIA, M3
- Front right fog/indicator assembly: 1077392-00-F LAMP ASY, FASCIA LAMP, SAE UP-LEVEL, RH

Sweet! I'm still missing 1086016-S0-A M3 ASSY FR FENDER SUPPORT RH and 1106818-00-A SENSOR, AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE, HCC but glad to see movement so quickly.I also got a notification for both parts in waiting on, but have to wait a while longer for that Canadian shipping!
Just talked to the body shop again and got a new estimate, it's up to almost $14000 now and my insurance wants to schedule another inspection...we'll see where this goes.
So far, they've not received any new information about the two missing parts - basically, they're being told "no ETA" by Tesla. I have reached out to [email protected] but haven't heard back. I also tried to get Tesla to cover a rental or loaner one more time because parts are backordered with no ETA - zero luck again. So all in all, no good news right now. I'm starting to get tired of the "well, you're an idiot for buying this car" treatment from friends and coworkers too...
If the old lady's insurance has accepted fault, they should cover a rental for you. I'm not certain how Canadian insurance laws work, but I would assume it doesn't vary that much from the US.Just talked to the body shop again and got a new estimate, it's up to almost $14000 now and my insurance wants to schedule another inspection...we'll see where this goes.

Does your insurance not cover a rental vehicle for this purpose?

Since you're going through your own insurance, they aren't required to pay in advance for it, but they'd at least have to reimburse reasonable rental charges that you may incur (at least in the US).
Rear quarter panels are the worst to replace. Lots of cutting and welding.Things have not gotten better!!! My MS was at charging station (WAWA) when idiot backed across lot and destroyed Tesla charging station which I was attached to. Ripped put charging block within fender and created small tear area at charging door. Working with authorized Tesla body shop. They ordered new left quater panel, based upon VIN. Attempted to fit New QP to car when realized it didn't fit!!! MS 2017 seems to have 4 different quarteer panels, and Tesla managed to screw it up and order rong one. Now waiting another 3 weeks because QP is on "Backorder" and might be received in two more weeks. Terrible customer service!!!! Total damage ... $9000 for charging station, and $19,300 for quarter panel replacement and charging block. BTW the first 2 charging block replacements don't fit !!! Very disappointed. Car has been in shop since April 9th!!! Calling them just gets you the gatekeeped who will forward your problem on to 'Team". They are pnly interested in getting the car out to customer, no matter the quality, and almost ignoring the Model S owners problems!! Very disgusted..!!
Hey, i'm in a similar situation as you. How long did it take for those parts to finally arrive? Thank you!Last Saturday, February 8th, I met a lovely old lady who promptly proceeded to drive straight into my Model 3 as I was stopped at a traffic light. Actually, she wasn't nice at all: the first thing she blurted out was "my nephew's the sheriff!" and then she proceeded to try to pin the whole thing on me...but I digress. Long story short, I got ~$12k of front end damage. I'm working with a Tesla-certified body shop that just completed tearing down my car and ordered parts.
They were told that the following parts are on back order with unknown ETA:
- Hood
- Right-side fender support
- Right hand fog light assembly
- Ambient air temperature sensor
Does anyone have a recent experience with back-ordered parts for Model 3 and how long the wait times were? I would sincerely appreciate any information as I'm trying to plan my work travel for the next few months. I'm in upstate NY, if that matters. Thanks!
