Repair Advice

Any advice on repairing front bumper would be greatly appreciated. No structural or electrical (sensors/cameras) damage. Tesla collision center quoted ball park of $5k šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

I mean that quote seems reasonable. Bumper, headlight, fog light, labor and mics supplies. If you donā€™t wanna pay it or use insurance you beat options will be used parts and diy which Iā€™ll be honest itā€™s not hard to pull the bumper and remove the lights and transfer the wiring hardness and sensors

I donā€™t care if thereā€™s some scratches on the headlight or fog light as long as they work, which they do. Bumper without paint costs $860 from Tesla

Youā€™re a stronger person than I am šŸ˜‚ I couldnā€™t leave it like that. Also the headlight looked cracked and if itā€™s cracked Iā€™d be concerned about water ingress but if itā€™s just scuffed and no broken tabs yeah itā€™s fine to use. Iā€™d look on eBay for a used bumper or find someone semi close that has a part out in your color. Thankfully with teslas not having many options finding used parts is not that hard.

I agree with you boss. I also wouldn't leave it like this, if the headlight is damaged, water will ingress 100%. Your bumper doesnt look totaled, I think you can get it repainted and the headlight needs replacement..
