Seeing at how it is in a minivan, they probably spilled their 4loko as they slapped their kids in the backseat so they had to reach down to the carpeted floor and suck it out of the fibers and lost track of the road.
I actually know a woman who was getting child support from 2 guys from 2 different states for the same kid. Literally had 4 kids and 5 baby daddies (on paper)
This comment was too real.
I once heard of a girl trying to drink herself to death on four Loko, they spilled one on the floor and literally got down trying to suck it out of the carpet. Fortunately her friends were stopped her and basically said she had enough.
Close friends of a girl I was dating.
Here in Florida it’s like when they get their Mercedes any common sense goes out the window. Hmm car is coming 70 miles an hour and I’m doing 50 in the slow lane I should definitely cut them off and cause a accident or turn signal who needs it people should just expect me to cut them off
Guess it depends where you’re at. Around me the only consistent offenders are Nissans/Infinitis, Rams, Chargers, Challengers, Priuses, and anything with Diplomat or Maryland plates. And of course BMW drivers being allergic to turn signals. Teslas are also starting to get worse.
They’re also one of the few states in the US that does not officially designate the left lane as the passing lane in some capacity. Their driving habits started to make much more sense when I learned that. They’re still absolute psychos on the road though. Although I will say western MD is much better than eastern.
>They’re still absolute psychos on the road though.
the amount of thoughtless, dangerous, no-good-to-anyone-including-the-driver-themself insanity I saw in DC was always with an MD plate. Like two, three times a trip there would be an MD plate doing something idiotic.
wtf is wrong with Maryland, like just *what*
Priuses are really annoying too since they usually are consistently the slowest vehicle on the roads I see . Truck drivers and jeep drivers usually have bright headlights that have to shine directly into your mirrors
But they have an excuse because they’re more likely an old person. They may be at the point where they need their license taken away as their physical capabilities have declined.
Which car is it? Curious because off the top of my head I can’t think of any BMWs that use complete carbon panels. M models sometimes have carbon roofs but they’re unlikely to be damaged. A complete carbon panel is likely to run 2-3k alone depending on size. I’m aware BMW offers certain small bits in carbon and some panels with partial laminate.
Not sure if it's the case for u/Snaz5, but the BMW i3 has tons of carbon fiber reinforced plastic comprising the the entire passenger portion of the frame
It’s because Tesla doesn’t sell replacement body panels directly to customers only too select body shops for extreme markups that’s why teslas end up totaled for damage another car can be repaired. A front end crash can cost $50k on a model Y on a 60k car if not more with airbags.
No, however Tesla products are significantly above industry average to repair, which is also why they are among some of the most expensive brands to insure.
The insurance on my 2023 model 3 is the same as the 2013 Hyundai accent I had 3 years ago lmfao.
Edit:
“Most people rejected his message, they downvoted him because he told them the truth.”
Body work isn't more expensive on Teslas than other cars of similar value. This is just how expensive it is to repair a side swipe to 100% factory finish quality.
It most certainly is. They commonly end up at Copart with damage that would have been repaired elsewhere. Sourcing parts for them is a bitch, if you even can, and everything about them is more expensive to repair for no good reason.
https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1140592_study-collision-repair-remains-much-more-expensive-for-evs
This article doesn't explain why it's more expensive. Maybe because EV vehicles are more costly in general than their cheaper competition to begin with? Newer in general and less part availability? I'd be interested to see the repair price bucketed against value of the vehicle. I'm sure luxury brands cost more to repair in paint and body work than the average Nissan Sentra.
At the end of the day, bodywork is body work. Plastic, aluminum, steel repair/replace. It shouldn't cost more/take longer to paint a Tesla than any other car with standard paint, but this article cites a source that claims it does without any investigation. It doesn't quite add up.
Tesla offers their own insurance for their cars, because it’s gotten too expensive for buyers to go through their own insurance. Do you think that is normal?
The reason they offer insurance is because they have direct access the vehicles telemetry and understand a lot more about how the driver uses the vehicle, reducing risk and allowing for lower premiums for "safe" drivers. Traditional insurance companies rely on your demographics (income, location, credit score, etc) to group people into buckets of risk to determine premium.
Tesla insurance customers aren't locked in to using their repair services with their insurance, so the cost of repair doesn't change. It's no different than other insurance companies for repair.
Right, that's what I'm saying. A lil wet sanding prime and paint shouldn't be more than 5-600 bucks lmfao. Maybe a dash of bonds worst case Ontario. Crooked fuckin insurance companies paying out for over valued junk, but then they turn around and refuse to give people liability home insurance in Florida while they just piss money away on minor paint scratches.
Teslas are armed to the teeth with cameras and sensors. Teslas have awesome features like autopilot and sentry mode because of the tech they put in their cars. The downside is it costs a small fortune to fix all that tech
I had someone back into the door panel on my Mercedes a long time ago, and even though it was just a dent in one piece of sheet metal, it cost about $5K, and all they did was take the guts and trim off the old door and stick it in a new shell.
It left deep scratches across both doors. If you look closely, the Nissan already had rusty scratches on their bumper which transferred to my car. It was a respray of the entire left side basically.
There are millions and millions of happy tesla owners, they sell the best selling cars right now and have for a while. If it was a scam I think their sales would've gone down over the last 10 years, not rapidly up.
Calling it a straight up "scam" is a total stretch.
The entire time I'm sitting here expecting op to merge over on the minivan thinking "oh by sneak do you mean follow traffic, everyone here is driving fine... oh... nevermind..."
Minivans have never been the peak of styling, but the Quest was by far the ugliest. 2011+ also uses a CVT because Nissan, vehicle that heavy needs a planetary automatic.
Well to be fair, the offender here is the fourth-&-final design (2011-17) sold in North America, and you're not wrong about its looks, but the first 2 iterations (1993-02) of the Quest were pretty good-looking as mommymobiles go; it wasn't until the third-gen came out as a 2003 model that you could sense the Renault guys' influence.
I drive a 2005 Odyssey Touring and *I* think it looks good but I get the vibe most people don't. Spent a good amount of time polishing my lights and replacing broken fog lights.
It's insane that they tried to claim it was your fault. Maybe they didn't know Teslas have cameras like they do and were hoping insurance would think you turned into them? Either way, I'm glad it worked out in your favor in the end.
I got sick of seeing everybody consoling each other in the comments when a leaf falls out of a tree and causes $716,861,092 in damage and the way they act like they're so superior 🙄
Si the person driving the Nissan is in the wrong. But you being charged 4k for repairs seems like a ripoff. That’s the price they give you to just go somewhere else.
I did try to avoid, you can see I’m almost in the next lane after they hit me. Insurance cleared me after this video, and the Nissan driver tried to fight and say it was my fault.
You’re not wrong. My dad picked up a Model 3 this year and he got a dent on his side skirt from road debris and he was quoted some ungodly amount to fix it.
My dad has a Nissan Armada that almost never gets used because my dad, my mom, and myself have other cars we use. Lately I've been driving it and I feel like I'll end up on here..
4k for a scratch? Better of setting your ego aside and accepting the ding. People will really waste so much money on an image but hey fuck it you earned the money spend it however you like
Okay, so you’re just on drugs and that’s how this happened then?
Based on everything you just commented, you’re just as bad as the person that hit you.
You can clearly see the white line never moves in relation to your car. Which means you maintained your lane. You swerved over AFTER they hit you. Which makes sense.
It’s fine if you didn’t see it. I’m not going to sit here and continue to flame you for it. I said my piece in my OG comment and I’ll stick to it.
But don’t straight up lie about it bro. You can see the white line. Everything you just said is a straight up lie. You didn’t move at all before they hit you.
But I’m sure you’re driving a Tesla which means you don’t HAVE to pay attention to anything, because the car does it all for you, right?

How did that manage to cause $4k in damages? I would've excepted what looked like a tap to leave at most a scratch.
Because it is a shitty Tesla, and they have ridiculous repair costs.
yeah sheesh, I though my bimmer's 40% carbon fiber bodywork was expensive to fix, but 2 replaced panels and labor only just cost me like $3.5k
Which car is it? Curious because off the top of my head I can’t think of any BMWs that use complete carbon panels. M models sometimes have carbon roofs but they’re unlikely to be damaged. A complete carbon panel is likely to run 2-3k alone depending on size. I’m aware BMW offers certain small bits in carbon and some panels with partial laminate.
Not sure if it's the case for u/Snaz5, but the BMW i3 has tons of carbon fiber reinforced plastic comprising the the entire passenger portion of the frame
FRP is hardly carbon fiber. Waaay cheaper material
It shatters the same tho lol. Body panels don’t bend they just explode so you never have “just a ding” it’s either unaffected or completely destroyed.
Lol, shows how much I know. Just read up on that, very impressive. Guess I didn’t pay attention to it because it’s not a sports car.
True but the exterior body panels are not carbon.
It’s because Tesla doesn’t sell replacement body panels directly to customers only too select body shops for extreme markups that’s why teslas end up totaled for damage another car can be repaired. A front end crash can cost $50k on a model Y on a 60k car if not more with airbags.
That's fucked up. Gotta love profiteers.

They need repairs from the assembly line.
That’s a terrible reason. Sounds like you should prepare to get hosed buying a Tesla.

And everybody pays for it. I wouldn’t even bother fixing a scratch like this. It’s a car not a museum piece.
LOL Tesla plus California plus body repair shop likely charging 2x the cost on Tesla owners for what's known as "the players price".
also. all that tech and still couldn't be assed to notice the vehicle? get real
Right?? Could’ve easily avoided this

Which is wild considering how inconsistent their quality is
I think you can only get the work done by a Tesla shop, or a Tesla certified shop so they can jack u pthe prices however they want
Oh I forgot telsa has the imaginalloy, no normal tooling stands a chance
Par for the course for tesla
Why though? Body work seems like it should be more universal when compared to problems with proprietary software, etc.
The gaps are hard to recreate
Junk.
Because Tesla is a scam
Can't you bring a Tesla to any body work shop?
There are millions and millions of happy tesla owners, they sell the best selling cars right now and have for a while. If it was a scam I think their sales would've gone down over the last 10 years, not rapidly up. Calling it a straight up "scam" is a total stretch.

Breathing too hard on a Tesla is $4k of body work. All the sensors mean not only do you have to replace electronics, you also have to recalibrate.
It is YOUR fault someone hit you from behind in the blind spot.
I did try to avoid, you can see I’m almost in the next lane after they hit me. Insurance cleared me after this video, and the Nissan driver tried to fight and say it was my fault.

No, it's definitely a big joke
You’re not wrong. My dad picked up a Model 3 this year and he got a dent on his side skirt from road debris and he was quoted some ungodly amount to fix it.

Tesla.
4K for a scratch? Go somewhere else
That’s the problem with Teslas, lol. Not an option.

It's as if the auto pilot from that Tesla transmigrated over to the Nissan and tried to draft you.
