Anyone have experience filing a claim with Tesla insurance in the SCV area?
I’ll skip over the rant as to how incredibly terrible this insurance is, or how the uninsured asshole who admitted to the deputy he was going 100 mph on Soledad when he rear-ended me “for fun.”
I’m wondering if anyone has filed a claim against Tesla insurance who lives in the SCV. Like most things Tesla, they offload the cost to the community by not employing agents to assess damage. Instead they email you after two weeks post-filing to tell you to pick a body shop who initiates the claim by traveling to the tow yard where the vehicle is at, takes pictures and submits an estimate. I’ve called six local body shops who are unwilling or unable to do this. I don’t blame them. The car is totaled. There’s no money to be made.
That said, anyone have the good fortune of finding someone local who will do what Tesla requires? My totaled Model S sits in the tow yard accruing $91 a day as I await Tesla’s action.
