He told me with Teslas it is easier/quicker to take off all the body panels vs taping them all up. I wonder what Tesla’s body shop does.
As I understand, they removed the rear passenger panel completely. Since they only work on Tesla's, I'm assuming they do whatever is quicker and easier. I look forward to finally getting it back so I can go back to my Model 3 which my wife is enjoying. She's never really cared about cars, but she's commented many times already on how good it drives. Can't let her make that a habit

I said $10k, pretty darn close!

Glad it’s going so quickly.

All things considered that was quick! My LS460L was in for a month for the rear trunk repair.

It's official. Model Y will be ready for pickup on Thursday. They will detail it the day before, which will be on Wednesday. The only hold up right now is waiting for final payment confirmation from Geico
