Hey everyone,
I had a rather unfortunate encounter today that I wanted to share with you all. As I was sitting in my car, a homeless woman who seemed to be in a tough spot walked by and unexpectedly ripped off my rear license plate. It was quite a shock, and my father-in-law managed to retrieve it in the end.
Unfortunately, during this incident, she also clipped the hatchback, leaving a dent and some ripples. My car is barely two months old, so this really stings, knowing I'll have to live with this for years. I've already ordered the Tesla Midnight Silver PMNG/NEU-112E Touch Up Paint by Touchupdirect to try and repair the damage, even though I'm aware it won't completely fix the issue due to the location and the extent of the damage. It just isn't worth going through the deductible to get it professionally fixed.
I've used scratch repair kits in the past with my Model 3, but I'm open to any new tips or suggestions you might have for this situation.
On a related note, I noticed that my car's Sentry Mode didn't record the incident, which is rather strange. I've used it before and even checked earlier recordings from that day, but there's no footage of the woman's actions, and no alarm went off. Does anyone here have any insights into why this might have happened?
Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts you can share.
