3 days after picking the car up and my poor wifes first outing. I think the wheel arch has been kicked a couple times.
She's never had a new and nice car before. I'm gutted for her.
Really annoying thing is, the solid state drive I had for the Sentry mode didnt work and the replacement came and was fitted that night :-/
I've been quoted 1.4k and 2k plus VAT... for a couple 'approved' Tesla bodyshops.
Idearly I'd just like to get a new wing painted and throw it on.
With the car being so new and body work not faded, could this be an option? Or could it be repaired?
Both quotes said the side door needs repainting also.

Any contact details would be really appreciated. Especially anyone mobile.
Being without a car will be seriously difficult with needing to take two little kids to and from child care before either of us can get off to work...

We live in the Bromley ish area.

I've only painted 1 white Tesla up to now and the colour was a pig to match so yes blending in to the door would be advisable.
The damage doesn't look bad enough to warrant a new wing but I'm guessing they are suggesting that as it's a new car and you don't really want filler in it do you.
I'd try a few more bodyshops

Doesn't look too bad. Can it be "knocked" out?

Yep don't waste your time and money on getting that filled and painted a good dent guy will easily remove that as long as the paint isn t cracked.
