insurance claim

Hello, I'm new to this forum, I bought a Model Y long range 2024 1 week ago. While I was at the car wash, the woman behind me crashed into my car. There are scratches on my rear bumper and my paint is very slightly damaged. I filed a claim through Tesla, but Tesla did not ask for the information...

Hello Tesla. I've got a door that needs to be replaced on a model y for an accident. That was my own fault. No other car involved. But I've never filed a claim before and so not familiar with how it works. I have a $500 deductible for collision and I've contacted the insurance company but have...

Hey y’all, got dragged a bit by a semi and wanted to see if my ‘23 Model 3 would be totaled out, looks like the A pillar got damaged a bit and the door wouldn’t open. Pls lmk what y’all think!

Hi, took my car to Tesla collision center and they quoted $4400 in body paint repairs for the following damage. Good news is insurance will cover it since the claim falls under comprehensive and I have a low deductible but I’m scared my insurance still might go up after. What do you think? Is...

My Model 3 was hit in a parking lot while shopping about a month ago, and I have pretty decent damage to the bumper and trunk as pictured. I have an estimate on February 16th, and all the certified body shops say repairs are out until June/July timeframe in my area. Looking at the Tesla cam...

Hello, I am looking for advice on what to do and how to move forward. We were in a minor collision, someone was making a left and we were going straight. My front bumper hit their side panels. At first look, the bumper was fine with a small hole and one of the headlights have a crack in it...

Back in September, I was rear ended in my 10 day old Model 3 RWD after just 400 miles. Both the liable driver and myself were stopped at a red light, and he just wasn't paying attention and rolled into me at probably 7 or 8 mph. I Still had the temp tags on and everything. Model 3 was drivable...

My wife had a freak accident and totaled our 2019 SR+ with FSD, 61,000 miles, with deep blue metallic paint. Luckily the car protected her and she is completely fine. Insurance called and offered 26k. I told them that was way too low and asked for the information they based it on. They sent me...

Hi all: My 2-month old Model Y got door dinged during a road trip to lake Tahoe while parked. Luckily sentry mode caught everything on video. The info I have are their car's make & model, and license plate number (from Nevada), but they already fled the scene so I don't have the driver's info...

If I file a claim through the Tesla app and pay my $1,000 collision deductible, my monthly rate really won't go up? That honestly sounds too good to be true, but that's what it says here: https://www.tesla.com/support/insurance/real-time-insurance#insurance-pricing There's a pretty serious...

Hi I had Tesla Model Y Performance, which I received on June 5th,2023 and was in an accident August 16th, 2023. I was wondering if my Tesla will be considered a total loss. My driver side curtain airbags all deployed and the driver seat airbags also deployed during the accident. The car shut off...

I’m thinking about cancelling a small claim for a paint job. Would the cancellation still lead to insurance premium increase? Thanks!

Anyone else have an impossible time getting a Tesla Insurance adjustor to respond? I was hit in my MY the first week of April, and submitted a claim. I was contacted the first business day after, and it has been radio silent ever since. I've only had success receiving responses from the tesla...

Greetings all. Sad to say my S75D was involved in an accident earlier this week. Glad to report no one was hurt (thanks Tesla!) but now facing a possible total loss of the vehicle and trying to understand the best paths forward here. Some details - can provide more if needed: Diver's steering...

Sunday night I was involved in a 4 vehicle accident. A Durango SRT driving and speeding in front of me caused the entire accident. As he was speeding he crashed into 2 more vehicles and I, successfully avoiding the 3 car collision (all were totaled btw), hit the divider in the middle of the road...

Hi - Recently, I totaled my Tesla Model Y and filed a claim with my insurance company. The insurance company settled the claim and paid Tesla the total cost of Model Y a month ago. According to the Gap Protection clause (#29) in my lease agreement, Tesla owes me the difference between the amount...

On my 10th year anniversary my Model S was flooded and declared a total loss. I really babied this car had upgraded to a 75Kw with a new drive unit. Shame I’m losing the Free Super Charging. USAA is being almost kind and wants me to find out the value for the 75 upgrade and driver unit...

Hi guys, I was rear-ended two weeks ago and the damage is really bad so I contacted several Tesla collision centers including Santa Monica, San Juan Capistrano, and Las Vegas (where the accident happened). They all refused to take my model Y since I am with Farmers insurance. They explained that...

Hello! I was nearly stopped on a high on my Model X when I got rear ended at full highway speed from an SUV, and then pushed forward to hit another truck. However, the insurance appraiser is quoting 23K to fix the whole car (appraised ballpark at the tow yard before the tear down or going to a...

Got rear-ended by a 95 F-150. Car took a hard hit. Will this be a total loss? Trunk lid does not close anymore. Everything is misaligned.

My 2020 Model Y was Rear Ended yesterday. As with most people I am completely new to going through this. I have read a bunch of threads on TMC but figured it wouldn't be bad to start one for myself to see if people have advice or at least check me on the decisions I make along the way. My...

Hello folks, I got rear ended/rear swiped at a measily 2-3mph this morning from a driver who wasn't paying attention. For a bit more context, I was at a stop sign at a two way intersection waiting to make a right, and as I was waiting for the oncoming car, the driver behind me decided to move...

My 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range+ Was recently in a crash. The Tesla Model 3 was declared not at fault. The appraiser declared a Total Loss and Tesla Insurance wants to arrange a Total Loss Settlement. What's a fair Total Loss Settlement for this car? The car had 100,000 miles but worked...

I ran over a hard solid object on a winding road. Preliminary repair estimates are already $21k to have the high voltage battery replaced. Tesla service is telling me that they dont know if there are other yet-to-be discovered issues with the car, such as suspension, wheel alignment, etc. I...
