Ok, so a neighboring hangar friend (at the airport) purchased a new Model Y and let me test drive it. I parked it where it was, then opened the hatch and it hit the hangar door.
The paint chipped about 1/4 inch on the top of the hatch spoiler area. I've repeatedly offered to pay for repairs, what ever the cost. The owner has been very gracious, and has put off accepting any money. However, his excuse is that he can't get an appointment with Tesla for unrelated repairs of poor body panel fit. The idea being that they would be fixed at the same time.
Here we are, 4 months down the road and I'm concerned that corrosion and or degradation will set in and the repair will be more extensive. But more than that, I'd simply like to settle the situation and be done with it.
I'm thinking of simply placing $500 on his seat, to at least cover part of all of the cost. It could be more or less, depending on how the chip is fixed.
Thoughts?
