Tesla service 🤣🤣🤣 Tesla is a carbon credit company that happens to make EVs to get those credits. Any profits are pumped into the CEOs salary and propping up his other pet projects. Next time you buy a car, maybe buy it from a car company.

That's really messed up. It was grey to start with and they painted it white? It is very warped.

Once Tesla gets your dollar they care nothing about you, sorry to say.

Dont know why not check this sub first before buying a shit car. Asking for help in an anti sub is weird.

I’ve been a big fan of Tesla and even explored applying there in its infancy, but unfortunately their service ecosystem has proven to be nonexistent. Your grief is pretty status quo. That is all. I seriously wish you the best of luck with it.

Nothing about this looks good. That is as good as it gets from me. Sorry. Hope you find an answer.

Oh, they advised to not make an insurance claim and to pay them instead? Yeah, you're being taken advantage of.

TSLA stock is up 6% this week. That's their real product.

1. If her deductible is lower than the cost to repair then she should have had insurance take care of it.
2. This wouldn’t fall under warranty, because it’s a scratch that happened after taking ownership.
3. Any type of work like this should be taken to a body shop and not the dealership.
4. The shop that did the repair should definitely be repaired at no cost since they did the damage. Another reason why having insurance deal with it is the better way to go.

Yeah, that’s a mess. I honestly wouldn’t have bothered with the initial repair — yes, it’s scratched up, but it isn’t that noticeable and doesn’t look like it would affect drivability or performance. The second picture is straight-up wrong — either the part is not right or the shop screwed things up installing it.
I’m honestly not sure where you should go from here; Tesla is unfortunately famous for poor support from over-worked service centers, poor customer support, and expensive repairs.

Kinda like any other company in America? What makes this apply to Tesla only? Any company is in business to make money and grow stock for its investors.

In hindsight I suspect most of that scratching would go away with a application of rubbing compound like this
[https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-Rubbing-Compound-Cleaner/dp/B01MY9Q38U](https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Wax-Rubbing-Compound-Cleaner/dp/B01MY9Q38U)
or numerous other products like this.

Maybe small claims court. That would be very expensive for them. Perhaps ask on a law section of Reddit.

Tesla is a charade intended to do nothing but run up the price of TSLA.

Real companies are in business to make profit which they can redistribute to their investors (e.g. dividends).
The "I'm supporting Tesla by buying TSLA" has got to be the biggest part of the scam. People simply don't realise that a infinitesimal fraction of the money they ever "put in" buying TSLA actually went into R&D, CAPEX or any other investment.
At best fans buying TSLA are supporting cheaper convertible debt issuance (which did go into the R&D/CAPEX), but ultimately the vast majority of them are supporting the ongoing dilution impact of freshly minted shares going to the insiders.
None of this says many haven't made a fortune speculating on the TSLA price (esp. if they've crystallised their gains), or Tesla are unique in the co-opting the term "investor" into secondary market share price gains that Wall Street pedals, however they are one of the most egregious in modern times.

Read it again - this is what his girlfriends’s story is. Tesla dealer, Tesla service center, probably all she knows is it’s the building on the block near the Starbucks.

OP, unfortunately you are in the anti-Tesla sub, you likely wont get your answer here.
I can tell you as a Tesla owner that their service and insurance is trash. They likely damaged it like they did my brand new car and then denied it and wont fix it. The best way to use Tesla's service and insurance is to hopefully never need it. If there are service centers with good feedback in your area go there but its still a gamble. Good luck!

Your gf ran over something, scraped the bumper? That has nothing to do with warranty work. She should have gone to a body shop. Should have skipped "tesla insurance" because they are scammers and will do the minimum to comply with state insurance regulations.

...and it's a "new model Y", so it was purchased knowing full well that Elon Musk is a nazi.

I bought it before all that and I do regret it, was a bad decision on my part for my 1st EV. I'm trading it in for a Rivian R2. Not sure why you think everyone that owns a Tesla likes Elon, we do not 🤷🏻♂️ it isn't easy to just get rid of a car unless you're made of money.
