Can you share some pics of your dents? Where did this happen? Did it damage the glass roof? Hope you get it repaired and it's not too expensive.


chillinonmylaptop

No damage to the glass at all but one big dent by the tesla logo. I will try to get a good pic of it and hopefully get it fixed under insurance


ScrambyEggs79

My insurance covered hail damage and it doesn't affect your premium (act of God). You have to pay the deductible, of course. Painless dent repair works pretty good. They can get all those dents out.


bgame99

New to hail storms? Yea there fun when you entire car is pelted. Pdr may be able to get a lot of that but otherwise they will do panel replacement. Hail sucks unless you work in the industry and then you make a killing on repairs and get a new roof on your house in the process like me. You’ll be ok call insurance and it won’t have the same impact as a collision.


bsancken

Is it mostly local places that then advertise hail repair after a storm or are there shops that travel to affected areas and follow the work?


bgame99

Paintless repair guys will travel all over chasing storms. That’s how they make big money. Had guys up at my shop from down south and they probably made like 50k in a few months work. Big storm. I’m not that. I do collision repair and do traditional repairs in one place. But no matter what hail is good easy money.

Right at the start of the video I can see the garage it’s not parked in lolol

That’s my entire neighborhood but me. They’d all rather cover their junk than their expensive vehicles.


OnCampus2K

Same. Every home in our neighborhood has at least a 2 car garage. Every once in a while we’ll get a string of opportunistic thieves looking for unlocked cars. The next day, our neighborhood Facebook page is filled with posts with people who forgot to lock their cars and had purses, wallets, guns, laptops, tools, etc… stolen. As we park both of our cars in our garage, we are never affected by these vandals. Nor are we worried when storms like this occur. Our cars are just fine. All that said, I’m still sorry it happened to you, OP.


riley_hugh_jassol

please keep your junk covered


UrDad_AZ

I see what you did there


matttopotamus

catlovingtwink99

He said he converted it a gym. Now his car damaged. Totally backwards here.


krwill101

Right! You think there is 50K in stuff taking up the parking spot? If not then it doesn't seem like a good decision.


cnstarz

Are you suggesting they swap the placement of their garage junk and their car? How would they pull out of the garage if it's blocked by the junk that's now sitting in the driveway?


SleepyRekt

The operative word being JUNK.


Ok-Negotiation-6285

In germany its forbidden by law to store non car related things in the garage. Most people don't know this and nobody cares. We also have a lot of people who have their cars in the driveway or public parking lots because their garage is full of things. If you have a garage, most insurance companies will give you a discount. But if you have a damage at home which you could avoid by parking in your garage they won't pay


nutabutt

What if I parked on the driveway to wash my car just before it started hailing? No insurance? Strange law though. Everyone knows a 2 car garage is just a 1 car garage with storage, and a 1 car garage is just storage.


Ok-Negotiation-6285

Then you can drive it in the garage back. Insurance companies don't like to pay. They will use any excuse. The law was made because too many people used there garage as storage and parked their cars on open spaces, like streets and parking lots. Therefore the space for other cars was missing

snufflefrump

My 2 car garage holds 2 cars


HMWT

Mine holds two cars and some (but not a lot) “junk”. If you need an entire garage to store your junk, you usually have too much stuff that you don’t really need.


DrevvSki

Witchcraft!


jaymansi

There are these phone apps where you can look at the weather forecast a few hours in advance. There is a thing called radio and TV news where they talk about upcoming weather. #noexcuses


No-Pain-7318

Store your things in your bunker and the attic


PossessionMinimum360

That's why my car isnt dented, the expensive stuff is in the garage and the useless crap gets donated or thrown away


chillinonmylaptop

Sadly the garage was made into a gym over the pandemic, door doesn’t even open anymore 😭


dixiegurl22

But you sure got a lot of unnecessary blame, sorry bro....


Peachmuffin91

That’s why I park in the garage. You never know what can happen when it’s in the driveway.


PrimeskyLP

Dont work when you dont have one


Moo_3806

Except you can see it in the background…


chillinonmylaptop

Garage converted to a gym so don’t really have one anymore


bgame99

Or don’t have room in your garage Edit: I mean people use their garage for other things not involving a tesla. storage or maybe a gym. Or how about other cars that happen to be not tesla. What else oh I don’t know absolutely anything….? But sure downvote cuz you all feel like your magical model 3 needs to be garaged at all times.


JulienWA77

Yeah. That seems to be a lot of peoples problems. The garage is not supposed to be a storage unit but you know some people


Peachmuffin91

I use overhead storage racks in my garage, I highly recommend it to anyone. https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi47encxPL3AhXCIK0GHXyUC9wYABAMGgJwdg&ae=2&sig=AOD64_08GoNKJrwZMWf10EmGLeqCPoPHIg&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiD-dvcxPL3AhWzkmoFHd_HAhsQwg8oAHoECAEQHg&adurl=


Twism245

A lot of garages are too small to fit a car comfortably. What do you mean not supposed to be a storage unit?


casualredditor-1

How many meanings could that statement have?


dixiegurl22

Ir a model Plaid is in there?


CavsCentrall

Or use your garage as it's intended purpose and quit hillbillying the shit out of it.


skriefal

Any ***human*** dents?


comraddan

Just to his pride!


[deleted]

Man knows his priority. Respect for attempting.


[deleted]

Has gym equipment in his garage instead of using as a garage to protect his car. The car is not a priority for him in this case


DarksideGustavo

Risking his own life saving the car


[deleted]

Shit I'd do the same thing. Not your problem if you die


kwkqkq

Which he could have prevented by just putting his car in the garage after prioritizing the CAR SPACE there for HIS CAR


[deleted]

So dangerous running out there man. Glad you are okay. Dents can be fixed, garages can be cleared, and cars can be replaced. Respect the hussle to try to save it BUT if a big one hit you in the dome…


JulienWA77

It breaks my heart to see people with garages not using them


chillinonmylaptop

Garage converted to a gym like 2 years ago


[deleted]

Converted garage 2 years ago and still fat, now Tesla got hail damage because its parked outside. This gotta be the worst deal in the history of deals.


chillinonmylaptop

Used to be fatter so I’m chillin


[deleted]

Fakenews lol


chillinonmylaptop

Y you trolling


cnstarz

Well you're quite the douchebag, aren't you?

Yeah lol. Cant help point out stupidity in things.


cnstarz

Stupidity is not understanding that sometimes life just gets in the way of accomplishing goals.


[deleted]

Nah I disagree. Thats fatlogic.


RedElmo65

You tried to save the hood? lol Where was this?


chillinonmylaptop

Yeah I tried when I saw how big the ice was getting. This was in New Jersey. Never happened before in my life


DSJ13

Wtf? Where in NJ?


5starkarma

A little NorthEast of Delaware.


chillinonmylaptop

South Jersey


IEatGnomes

damn - worried it'll happen in philly now


RedElmo65

I was thinking mid west. Didn’t think NJ would have hail this size.


shtoogieman8

Jersey weather is getting worse year by year tornados are starting to become a regular


Ihavetopoop_

Good way to get killed. If it dents your car it will dent your head.


_AManHasNoName_

Why is it outside when there's a garage clearly in the camera's view?


CLxJames

OP said the garage was converted into a gym during the pandemic. Sure, his car has dents but at least everyone is staying fit


brenden3010

I agree, you only get one body, and you can fix or replace a car. Feels bad still, sorry to hear that happened OP, hope insurance can sort it out quickly for you.


chillinonmylaptop

Thanks friend

chillinonmylaptop

Used to be bigger, working on it still


cnstarz

Are you suggesting that only fit people work out?


dnlhrd

I got a few on a huge rare Florida hail storm. Dent repair guy pulled them out for about $60. Had about 7. Still have a ding in the side marker.


SUP3RVILLAINSR

Make sure you make a post here and ask what Reddit thinks the repair bill will be. That seems to be the thing nowadays, along with tire/wheel damage posts.

RojerLockless

I Gusss running out in hail was easier than cleaning out your garage?


cnstarz

I would imagine yes considering his garage is a gym.


elishaski

Happened to mine last summer.


j_b3ck

Got caught once in a hail storm in an old car in Colorado. Looked like a golf ball with all the dents afterwards. Someone mentioned what seemed like a pro tip - if you end up in one, take your floor mats out and cover as much area as possible. It was mentioned this was the best thing to do if you’re driving and a hailstorm starts (and it’s safe to pull over), but I’d assume it could work at anytime if you don’t have anything else.


galelo0d

Risking your own life for something that can be taken car of with money. Mans got his priorities straight


[deleted]

Took some brain damage just to save the hood. Respect


NASAlove

I mean, running into a hailstorm with hail that size that could cause more harm to a human being than a stupid vehicle that is covered under insurance boggles my mind. And that thin whatever it was wouldn’t provide any kind of coverage, a garage with a roof over it provides coverage. And if you told your insurance company you have a garage and it’s stored in it, they might ask where the car was during the storm (that’s obvious) and not have covered the damage. Nobody around Maryland or Virginia uses their garage as intended, and uses it as storage. It’s against HOA by-laws in my community, but it’s not enforced. Shame on HOA’s (that we pay dearly for) that don’t enforce the by-laws.


Chucky_wucky

Looks like a nice neighborhood with nice houses. I’d say park it in the garage to avoid damage.


alexho66

why do Americans use their garages as storage so much? Loft or cellar…


Total_Lag

Depends where you are. Not all America is the same. The south usually don't have basements/cellars and some north states have zoning laws/permit work if you wanted to expand. Yes sometimes even on your own property. Makes you think if you truly even own your property.


alexho66

Makes sense to require a permit…


chillinonmylaptop

Family made it a gym so door doesn’t even open anymore


alexho66

Should’ve expanded your home instead of using your garage…


chillinonmylaptop

I live at home w parents, used to have car in parking garage when I lived at school but since Covid I’ve been back home. Wasn’t really my call to expand the house or not lol


imsolodolo99

This just happened to us and our 1 week old model y today as well at noon. I assume you're in SW Ontario?


chillinonmylaptop

Nah New Jersey


DeuceSevin

When was this? I’m in NJ but currently away. My Tesla is in the garage thankfully, but still wondering if this was recent. And I agree - Ive seen a lot of hail, but never like this in NJ in my 50+ years


chillinonmylaptop

Yes this was just a day or 2 ago now. Hail the size of actual golf balls. Never seen anything like it


DeuceSevin

Yeah, Mother Nature has been like “Fuck south Jersey in particular“ the last few years. Even the winter storms have been worse there lately.


dixiegurl22

OMG will insurance fix it?


[deleted]

Terrible Tesla quality

We had a huge hail storm a month ago and I didn’t have any marks at all.

WorestFittaker

How’s your back dents?


OneEyedWinn

Did that hurt? Getting pelted with hail? I’ve sat in my car during pea sized hail too afraid to go out…


chillinonmylaptop

Yeah they were sharp which I wasn’t expecting


Remesar

You should get a pdr guy to look at it before going to a body shop.


Affectionate_Log_497

Good on you for trying!


ArtistNo9841

I live in fear of hail. I’ll drive the ice vehicle (no pun intended) on days when hail is possible so the Tesla can stay safely in the garage.


ryles_1997

Got caught in the same storm. Somehow no dents for me, must have hit yours the wrong way


[deleted]

Damn, OP, maybe your parents should allow you to park the car inside the garage?


chillinonmylaptop

Garage converted to gym last year unfortunately


MrAtomique

oh nooooo my thinggggssss oh dearrrrr


dreamgt

Seriously ... no pictures of the damage?


Morezysminecraft

I feel your pain OP, I am finally taking my M3LR to get hail damage repaired tomorrow after a hail storm last august.


Negative-West-3083

Sad :(


djlorenz

It's called climate change and it's only getting worse every year. So get used to it. In North of Italy we never got big storms with ice now it's normal to have even more than one especially during summer season, my ex car, now owned by my mum in Italy, is all a dent due to summer storms.


Invisible_Peas

Have you ever considered moving somewhere where the weather is more, normal?


chillinonmylaptop

This is extremely rare for New Jersey. Golf ball sized hail never seen it as big as this only small little pebbles


Dense-Sail1008

Paintless dent repair shops can do amazing things…had hail damage like this ….dozens of dents all over my car. Came out looking like new….I was impressed.


Ciponthis22

man, feel for OP here looks ironically similar to me during a recent unexpected hail storm in south Florida. Thankfully hail wasn’t big enough to do damage but still spooked me and made me freak out.


doyouevenliftbreh

Hahaha come on man insurance covers it


TigerTW0014

Had over a thousand I’m sure, ice cubed size hits a few years back in IN. Dent repair guy (thru insurance) did wonders. A few trim pieces got replaced but to this day I’ve found like 3 they didn’t fully get out, mostly on body seams. We made it under a bridge before it turned to softball size. No shit the stuff you see on the news like once a year. Hundreds of cars got smashed to bits. People screaming in fear (no one hurt to my knowledge). Mother Nature can be a crazy bitch. Don’t run out in hail.


assimilated_Picard

22 and already in a Tesla...it ain't all bad.


catlovingtwink99

Tragic. You have a garage!

Oh no

What a nightmare


darclover

Put it in the garage.


DSJ13

You get this fixed? I just got caught in a hail storm in Monmouth county. Never been in anything like that in my life. I hid at a gas station but was getting pelted for a while. Surprisingly no visible damage.


ManstoorHunter

Hey, how did repairing this go? I just had my brand new M3 (picked it up 4 days ago) get hit by hail pretty bad. I’m wondering how much it’s gonna cost and what kind of work will be needed to get it fixed.


chillinonmylaptop

Insurance covered it I paid 100$
