[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it so hard for people to believe that she is genuinely asking a question?  I don't think she's saying it's the other driver's fault.  I think she's trying to figure out whether she should handle it herself or go after Tesla for whatever the damages may be to the other car (and maybe even her Tesla).  I think it's a very fair question--insurance or Tesla.  She probably didn't need to start with "going through divorce" or post it to the relationship forum, but she's saying that she doesn't want to trouble her soon to be ex, which is nice.

FWIW, you can follow up with Tesla but they'll probably see this as no different than the camera in any other car.  If it happens to go out, it falls on the driver to immediately switch to the mirrors in the car so that you're not hitting someone.  I'm guessing the car wasn't in autonomous mode.  (If it was in autonomous mode and this happened, you may have an avenue to get Tesla to own the issue.  I know very little about Tesla so not even sure if this is possible.) You should just go through insurance and the rate increase will go with you once you are divorced.  Your ex- will likely document the increase and can renegotiate the premiums when you are officially not using the same insurance plan.  If he doesn't want to go through insurance, you can pay out of pocket, but also this depends on what the other party provides to you as an estimate for the fix.  [/quote]

How on earth would this be Tesla’s fault? They absolutely need to fix the car but in no way is it their responsibility that OP was careless operating her vehicle. [/quote]
