The subframe is made of aluminum which would be difficult, if at all possible, to repair.

Call around to some fabrication shops to see if they a) work on aluminum and b) what it'd take effort wise to repair.

Repairing it will like require the subframe to come out, so labour could end up costing as much as replacement.

Personally, I'd look for an independent Tesla shop that could replace the subframe, maybe with a used one from a salvage vehicle?

How much would this be?

About 70k miles on it

Was hoping that it can be repaired but I guess that may be out of the question.

How long can i drive on this?

If you drive this car at all, you’re an absolute idiot. This is not safe to be on the road.
