Good morning, YouTube! Today in the shop, we have a 2019 Tesla Model 3 that was unfortunately involved in a collision. The damage is primarily located on the left quarter panel and the rear bumper. Let’s take a closer look at the vehicle and assess the extent of the damage.
As the Tesla Model 3 is pulled into the shop, it is given a quick rinse to better visualize the damage. The left quarter panel shows signs of impact with a crease running along the top, creating a low spot. There are additional low spots and waves present on the panel, indicating significant damage. Moving on to the rear bumper, it appears to have been side-swiped with the sensors pushed back.
The next step is to fully disassemble the vehicle to assess any hidden damage. Fortunately, no additional damage is found behind the bumper, allowing the focus to shift towards repairing the quarter panel. The technician begins by using glue tabs to pull out as much of the damage as possible without the need for grinding. After successfully removing a good portion of the damage, attention is turned to the bumper, where sanding and flattening are required.
The repair process continues with the application of filler on the quarter panel to smooth out any remaining imperfections. A black guide coat is sprayed on the panel to reveal high and low spots, which are then addressed with a hammer and dent puller. The panel is meticulously sanded down and coated with finishing glaze to prepare it for painting.
With the panel restored to its original shape, it is time to apply the final touches before painting. The technician spreads filler, sands it down, and applies pinhole filler to ensure a seamless finish. The vehicle is then ready for painting, bringing the repair process to its conclusion.
After finishing the sanding and reattaching the bumper to ensure proper alignment, the Tesla Model 3 is looking as good as new. The meticulous repair work has restored the vehicle to its former glory, showcasing the skill and expertise of the technicians in the shop.
In conclusion, the repair of the 2019 Tesla Model 3 serves as a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the professionals in the shop. The attention to detail and precision in the repair process have resulted in a flawless restoration of the vehicle.
