Tesla Model Y lift gate repair costs? [image included] // worst possible timing end of lease in Feb

[alissrambo]

My Model Y is nearing end of lease in early Feb. I have this dent. Just finding a repair shop to make an appointment in Colorado was a freaking pain in the butt and I couldn't get an appointment until December 26. The car is due back on Feb 4 and the repair shop would not give me any sense of how long this is going to take.

So a few questions for the group:

1. any ideas how much this might cost?
2. any ideas how long this would take? lift gate replacement or is there another option?

thanks~~~

"your insurance deductible" most likely, as you have to have full coverage insurance when you have a lease.

Hello,

Would you mind telling us how you ultimately resolved this situation? Did you go the route of having a PDR guy fix the dent, then find another entity to fix the paint, or did you just get the whole liftgate replaced? Was all this an issue during lease inspection?

Any insights you can provide regarding this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!!
