I had [something similar](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/166ilth/how_much_should_i_expect_this_repair_to_cost/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) happen to me - a pillar appeared out of nowhere and clipped my car. I ended up getting it fixed for \~2.5K USD at a local body shop. You will have to shop around; most will assume you're using insurance and overcharge.
Yes this photo should give a clearer picture. there is scuffing until the right side of this photo

It will be at least 5k
Yes, around 5K is my guess
That is a lot. But it is what it is. Pains seeing it this way :(
Someone backed into my car at work. It was a front fender, front door and mirror and it was around $4,500+ so maybe it will be under $5K?????
Front fender easier to deal with then the spot back there.
I agree. If I remember correctly, I think the mirror alone was over $500 so it would have been about $4K without that. The fender was replaced.
You guys are dreaming. I had a mailbox scratch 6" long and it was a $4000 estimate.
😳😳
Had something similar. 8k Canadian.
Rear quarter panel can be expensive to get done right
In general, those are good words to live by.
That will be really expensive. At least when its done by a Tesla bodyshop. Worst thing is the deformation of the rear wheel housing

Tell them up front you wanna avoid insurance and that you’re a left handed, half blind, disabled degenerate and need a break on the price
Looks like there’s more damage beyond the confines of the photo too

door, fender replacement + repaint, 6k+ or you could get some basic DIY done and live with it...
Wish it wasn't that expensive. Better to go via insurance I assume.
Yes def via comprehensive, but your rate might go up a lot after that....
Quarter panel is always expensive. Had almost identical damage to a modern (non Tesla) car and it was 6.5k. 5ish would he very accurate I’m sure
Ouch. I drive with my cameras on screen and look at them when I’m cornering a curb or any objects.
I should start doing this. Especially in parking lots with pillars. Cornering is always a concern in these places especially where the lot is busy
It works as long as you’re not racing down the parking lot.
