What owners wrote
I am submitting information regarding repair access and repair estimate concerns involving a Tesla vehicle after a collision. During an insurance claim handled by Tesla Insurance Company, a repair estimate from a Tesla-preferred repair facility was used to declare the vehicle a total loss. However, a manufacturer-owned repair facility estimate would be significantly lower and could make the vehicle repairable.
Here is a 2020 tesla model x in the junkyard. [link removed] it has not been in a collision, no airbags have deployed and there is no impact damage to the bodywork. The air suspension has collapsed and due to the ludicrous design having no limit stops all four wheels have jammed up into the wells. The back lh tire has been rubbing against the wheel-well for so long that it is completely shredded (see attached photograph) the owner must have been oblivious to this.
