That’s insane. I’d be afraid to drive it...

Good stuff.. Here's to a safe, incident-free stretch! The previous accident makes future accidents neither more nor less likely (Poisson process).

And... My car is home.

One little thing I noticed when looking over the car: I had installed some valve stem covers from Amazon with a Tesla T on them. The one that was on the wheel hit in the accident was toast. The body shop replaced it (along with that wheel...). Only $8 for a set of 4 on Amazon, but it was aftermarket and something I didn’t expect the shop to address. Nice attention to detail...

I’ll get the full paperwork from them tomorrow. They also recommended an appraiser for the diminished value claim. I’m impressed with this shop...

Wow - that’s incredible attention to detail. How did feel to drive after all the rentals?

Fantastic. I really missed the acceleration. The Model 3 is a great car!

Congrats! Tough months, but this way you get the hit of new ownership twice.

Amazing! Hope you dont wake up in morning to find it was a dream. Unless it's the whole thing was a dream. That would be okay.
