What You Can't See Sets the Price
A Model Y does not hide much once the paint comes off, and what it shows is why two Tesla dents that look alike are not always the same job. Touch the spot where your dent sits and the paint clears to the beam, brace or open metal behind it, the same read our technicians make before a tool goes in. The car here is a Model Y, and the 3 shares most of its bones. Tap through it, then send us photos of yours from anywhere on the Eastside or Seattle.
A guide for reference, not a Tesla service diagram. It is not official and it is not exact for every car. Model, year and trim all change what sits behind a panel. The takeaway stands either way: a dent the same size in a different spot can be a whole different repair.
Not every dent is on a door, and the idea carries across the whole car. A hood hides a full inner frame, a fender hides a liner and a body line, a quarter hides reinforcement welded into the shell. Where the metal behind the damage is clear, the appointment is short. Where the damage sits on structure, the tool has to come in from another direction, or a part has to come off first. That is the whole reason two dents of the same size can be priced differently.
