    Good job. Finally someone to show that it takes time to fit 1/4. You have welding, riveting, spot welding and glue. It takes time to prep and set up all of this

    I have probably replaced over thirty model 3 quarters, most of them full quarters which includes the roof rail. You can replace the complete inner arch without removing the inner strengthening panels. I'm now retired and living in Spain after 43 years of pannelbeating, love watching some one else do it now.

    Does putting it on a single jack stand on the left of the car, cause a little flex in the chassis, which may cause slight misalignment of any panel repairs? Thanks.

    Great and detailed job!! I was surprised that you didn't put the door and hatch bach just to check the gaps before permanently putting the rear panel. Well, at the end it's a Tesla, soli factory gaps are terrible anyway 😅😅

    The power switch turned off we presume. To get a quarter panel you have to be a certified Tesla shop. Wonder why the car is not on a rack with universal fixture ie Spanesi or Celette bench. It would help in making sure the rear body and quarter are aligned

    • @LuxuryCarRepair
      @LuxuryCarRepair  5 місяців тому +1

      For this procedure Tesla doesn’t call for a bench to be used

  • @shaqhobson5074

    Hi i have been an autobody tech for over 24 years. It looks like you did a great job. I have never worked on a Tesla before. I had a question. I know the panels are aluminum. I did not know they make an aluminum spot welder. Is that what you were using? If so what is the name of the spot welder?

  • @ey2001

    22:12 - do you disconnect the high voltage battery for welding? (car main battery) is it enough to disconnect 12v?

    Hi fabulous stuff, I really appreciate it. Just a question to you, I’m down here in Australia and having a horrible time with Tesla and the Registered Panel Beaters getting the official repair documentation. Each says the other will share, however the RPBs says they will be stripped of their offical repair roles if they do. And Tesla say they won’t. This leaves me with my hands in the air and struggling as I need this documentation to get my vehicle registered. I spotted some of the pages on your video. Any chance of you being able to assist me with getting hold of them?

    • @simpleman5541
      @simpleman5541 3 місяці тому

      That's a very good question. I bought total/salvage car all my life and I couldn't never figure that out. Sometimes even a theft recovery car with very little cosmetic damage it's still total. In this case, a fix like this in US would probably cost close to $10K if not above at the tesla certified body shop and maybe $5K to $6K at non-certified body shop so if you don't mind being a salvage title then you can get it at the auction and fix at the non-certified shop to save some money.
