What does the damage type «Side» mean

Side damage occurs in T-bone collisions, impacts with parking barriers, or sideswipes. Structurally, the side of a vehicle is critical for occupant protection, so damage here deserves careful inspection.

What may be damaged

doors, rocker panels, body pillars
side airbags (may have deployed and been quietly replaced)
window regulator mechanisms
wiring routed through sills and pillars

What to keep in mind

cabin sealing issues and water ingress
difficulty opening or closing doors properly
hidden weakening of structural body members

Our advice: Pay close attention to the condition of side airbags and look for any signs of welding on the body pillars.

About this model

2018 Tesla Model 3

Електро-седан · generation 2017–2024

Our takeКупуйте ТІЛЬКИ з пошкодженням Front End / Rear End / Hail. Лоти з 'Battery Damage', 'Electrical', 'Flood' = пастка — батарея коштує більше за саму машину. Перевірка SoH батареї через нашого фахівця обов'язкова.

Strengths

Найдешевша Tesla в США — багато аварійних лотів від $8–15k
Запас ходу 350–500 км реальних на Long Range
Безкоштовні оновлення ПО роками

Weaknesses

Збитки після ДТП — батарея дуже дорога ($12–18k нова), часто не ремонтується
В Україні мало авторизованих СТО — ремонт у неофіційних → втрата гарантії
