Matt’s dashcam captures him driving up to a toll booth when a truck ploughed into the side of his car.
After a few minutes, cops arrived at the scene – and Matt showed them the footage, Inside EVs reports.
He was told they would have to conduct a full investigation to discover who was responsible for the accident.
Matt received a police report 17 days after the accident, which stated both were at fault.
He was slapped with a whopping £25,000 bill for repairs.
The astonishing figure has left Tesla owners reeling – and this isn’t the first time the issue has come up.
Repairs are often only slightly less than the cost of a new motor.
For example, a 2022 Model Y Long Range costs around £51k to buy new.
After an accident in January this year – one Tesla was quoted a whopping £37k to repair, the Robb Report claims.
