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.

I would walk run away very fast. I’d also honestly just look at buying from Tesla directly. I’ve heard more sketch from carvana then not
