Not going to do good things for car insurance.

My friend has a Tesla and had a fender bender. Took six months to get it repaired. No parts.

My auto insurance will cover the cost of a rental while my car is being repaired.

But six months? GTFO!

The goal is to have gasoline car repairs take that long.

My friend hit a cement post in a parking garage, to his surprise they totaled it out.

That kind of thing happened to many cars in 2021-22 with the supply chain issues. I had mine fixed a year ago (normal amount of time) but the guy at the shop had horror stories about cars waiting months for random parts.
