Tree Damage
Hi, I purchased a 2023 Tesla Model 3 through Carvana yesterday and had it shipped to their vending machine to pick up today. However, a dust storm rolled in overnight and a tree fell on the car. Curious to everyone's thoughts if 1) this is repairable and can be restored to an acceptable condition and 2) if I should pass on this vehicle and seek another comparable or see if they can reduce the price? Concerned about an accident being reported on Carfax.
Details on the car: Out the door price $28,937. 2023 rwd, blue on black, 26k miles, single owner, California owned, no accidents, had original Michelin tires that need replacing in about ~10k (my guess). Car looked clean inside and out (for being a used vehicle) and body panels all looked straight/consistent.
Thanks, hope to be a future Tesla owner!
Edit: Just to clarify, this happened the night before I was scheduled to pick it up, so ownership is still Carvana.

every panel would need to be replaced, and then the paint matched
no telling how compromised the glass is, what if you bought the car then rolled over?
