Good news!!! After almost 4 months to the day, I got the car back in what looks and feels like a new car.
1/27 - Accident. No airbags, low speed crash on some black ice into a wall.
2/2 - initial estimate of 10k
2/8 - initial tear down and first insurance payment
2/23 - full tear down and additional supplemental to insurance for another 20k
3/7 - insurance approves and paid the supplemental, parts ordered
3/17 - most parts are in, rebuild begins
3/31 - car is sent to local dealer to do battery tray swap.
4/5 - get email with the following:
We actually just spoke (to the dealer).. the battery needs replaced. Not the EV battery just the normal one in order for them to do their calibration.
4/6 - car is back to body shop awaiting air guide on the bumper and a hood stop. Things are looking good!
4/18 - parts are in, car is back together, but the IPMA module āwent badā while they were recalibrating the car. New one is ordered.
4/20 - replacing the IPMA did not resolve the issue. Car goes back for the dealer for diagnosis. A different module isnāt working. The part is on āNational back orderā
5/17 - sensor / module finally comes in
5/19 - car is sent back to the body shop after module and recalibration
5/23 - Dealer didnāt reinstall grille cowl correctly and it is missing clips. Body shop is told that the my need to order whole new cowl because they donāt sell the clips individually.
5/25 - cowl comes inā¦with no clips. Body shop goes to local dealer to get them to match the clips in their part department successfully.
5/26 - car is done and looks awesome. Boy did I miss driving this thing
