The worst nightmare of any Tesla owner came true for Mr. Chevy Dude on New Year’s Eve. While driving his 2020 Model X Performance, he was rear-ended in a minor fender bender that could potentially total his beloved Tesla. The whole incident was captured on the Tesla‘s cameras, showcasing the moment of impact and the aftermath.
Upon inspecting the damage, it was revealed that the bumper cover, Valance panel cover, and hitch cover were all affected. The estimated cost of repairs came out to be around $1232, which was not as bad as initially feared. However, there was still concern about any hidden damage that might be discovered once the rear bumper cover was removed for inspection.
Despite the unfortunate accident, Mr. Chevy Dude remained calm and collected, focusing on getting the necessary repairs done. He even reached out to the person who rear-ended him, who turned out to be a nice and understanding lady. They both agreed to go through the insurance claim process to cover the damages.
In the midst of dealing with the aftermath of the accident, Mr. Chevy Dude also had some exciting projects lined up at the detail shop. From working on a police Tesla Model Y to a red Z06 Corvette, there was no shortage of interesting cars to keep him busy.
As the day came to a close, more cars arrived at the shop, including an awesome Subaru Outback that Mr. Chevy Dude had recently purchased. Despite some apprehension about the mileage on the Subaru, he remained hopeful that it would turn out to be a good buy.
In the end, the day was a mix of ups and downs for Mr. Chevy Dude, but he faced it all with positivity and a determination to get his Tesla back on the road. The incident served as a reminder of the fragility of high-end cars like Teslas and the importance of being prepared for unexpected accidents. But through it all, Mr. Chevy Dude remained grateful for the technology that captured the accident and the support of those around him.
