MY $10,851.33 TESLA MODEL Y REPAIR

EV Channels Review

This video details the extensive repair process and associated costs following an accident involving a Tesla Model Y rented out on Turo. The reviewer highlights the significant damage to the rear hatch and bumper, with initial repair estimates nearing $10,000. The narrative focuses on navigating insurance claims with AAA, the responsible party's insurer, and the complexities of diminished value claims, which the reviewer calculates at $4,123.50. While the car was ultimately repaired to look 'as good as new' for $8,701.33, the reviewer emphasizes the substantial time investment and the financial impact of diminished value and potential loss of income. Despite the positive outcome of the repair and insurance coverage, the reviewer concludes that renting out a personal Model Y on Turo for supplemental income was 'absolutely not worth it' based on the earnings from the specific rental that led to the accident, advising caution and detachment for those considering similar ventures.
