Just joined and happy to be here.
Drove over some kind of metal road debris today and it put a dent in my right rocker panel, just in front of the rear wheel well. One “Tesla Approved” body shop said they would need to remove not just the rocker panel, but also both right side doors, and that those doors and the door jams (and the rocker panel) would all need to be repainted. This seems nuts to me, but this is my first Tesla, and I know next to nothing about bodywork on this car.
I do understand why weld pins would be a bad idea, and would really appreciate thoughts and suggestions on how to have this work done, and good shops in the Washington, DC / Northern VA Metro area.
Thank you all.
