IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE! YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW LONG & MUCH TO FIX OUR TESLA MODEL 3 - THRIFTY 3 EP.11

EV Channels Review

This episode of Thrifty Three details the extensive and costly repair process for a crashed Tesla Model 3 Long Range. The reviewer highlights a significant escalation in repair costs, initially estimated at $6,000, ballooning to over $10,000, representing approximately 20% of the vehicle's value. A major contributing factor to the delay and cost was the breakage of the rear glass during disassembly, which was not part of the initial damage. The video emphasizes the prolonged waiting times for parts, exceeding two months, and the overall "nightmare" experience for owners facing accidents. While praising the repair shop's efforts, the reviewer points to a systemic issue with the repair infrastructure for Tesla vehicles. The core takeaway for potential buyers is to consider the significant financial and temporal implications of an accident, especially given the extended downtime and high repair bills.
