FFS KURT: Tesla Edition
#361
This is literally the fourth event with the Teslas this year.
1) Someone backed the Y into the garage door)
2) bent two rims on the Y on a road trip
3) lost the other two tires on that roadtrip
4) Hail
I've just kind of had it. I shouldn't bitch here because I have money and I can afford to fix/own these cars. It's just so annoying.

not yet. We're getting the estimate Sunday. We're supposed to get a rental but enterprise is a pile of shit. We still have the Y and I'm still working from home.

Anyways, sorry again about the bad luck.

The only way I would leave is if the 3 is totaled, which I doubt.

Just think of it this way - the dents are for high speed stability, like a golf ball
That does suck though. I know what you mean about being over shit that's out of your control in regards to a car. For me, it was liberating to get rid of the offending vehicle.

I want to blame Tesla for this and be like I told you so...
but that literally could have happened to any car.
Anyway...couldn't have happened to a more level headed and patient guy.
Hope you're well otherwise, Kurtis.

I got caught in hail while on the road in the Mercedes, people stopped the highway by parking under an overpass & leaving everyone behind to deal with it.
Pretty unnerving having hail bouncing off the glass roof above your head
Luckily, no dents or damage then, either.

The hail did manage to curb your wheels though, I'm sure

I have a plan if the 3 is totaled. I kind of doubt it because the car is pretty new still, but it's hard to tell at this point.

If the 3 is savable, I'll do that.

lol thanks. I think I have to do some soul searching. I think what hit me the most is "look, you spent $50k on a car and now it's a dumpster fire". I like the idea of a car I don't have to worry about being trashed. Even if it means getting a slower car.

That's what I'm thinking, too. I'm guessing it depends on how many panels they have to replace. My understanding is PPF isn't all that viable on the aluminum parts. Also, the roof glass and windshield will be replaced, obviously.
