@JCChristopher I keep a spare pack of Duracell 9V in the frunk just in case

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@Chassdesk Appreciate the feedback, but I called them today... I'm going to ask that they don't put it on Carfax but I'm sure it's protocol... I just have to eat the loss 😔

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

I decided to file a claim as it falls under comprehensive coverage and I have a $0 deductible. I hope they don't raise my rates and I hope it doesn't go on my Carfax. The car was parked and it's a little dent/scratch!

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

A popup tent got blown away by the wind and hit my Model Y and dented/scratched it. Is it worth going through insurance to fix this?

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@CleanCloudTech 😭

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@JustMyTesla They do have a list, and it includes Tesla but the nearest Tesla only shop is 45 minutes away. I might do it anyway. Maybe they'll let me borrow a Cybertruck 😂

@CALamb53 @TheNewGrid I'll stay as long as they are the best deal 😂

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@JustMyTesla I just filed it... Some other responses have me worried that it'll show up on Carfax and raise rates. I guess we'll find out. Do you think I should go to a tesla repair shop or it doesn't matter?

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@Comunitynots That's not a bad solution 😂

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@nakatomi2010 Even for a tent falling into it while it was parked?

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@CALamb53 @TheNewGrid Another good point... I just filed the claim but didn't choose a repair shop yet. I really hope this decision doesn't come back costing me more than anticipated

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@nakatomi2010 What good is comprehensive insurance then? And if nobody was in the car it shouldn't be considered an accident 😔

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@kchau @TheNewGrid Interesting... I will check that.

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@Backonyourheads My deductible is $0. But I don't want my rate to go up.

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@starshipmarz My deductible is $0... But will rates be affected?

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@JustMyTesla It was actually my tent 😐

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@Zafir88538734 I know, right? It's crazy that I have the insurance and $0 deductible and still am afraid to use it.
It's definitely not a beater car for me and I love it, but I do go through automatic car washes sometimes. I take care of it otherwise.

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@TheNewGrid Dang... That's what I'm afraid of.

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@Zafir88538734 My comprehensive deductible is $0.

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@TheNewGrid They claim that since nobody was in the car it goes under comprehensive and it won't impact rates 🤷

[Uncle Tesla @RealUncleTesla]

@3lectricBrawl I have a $0 deductible on comprehensive... And they say it won't increase my rates. So really it's just the inconvenience.
