Just to put an update on this thread. The hand of fate has altered the course of the situation....
Not a straight panel left to be found. Both headlights, tail lights, all trim, all 4 doors, tailgate, roof rails, both quarter panels etc...only the plastic bumper covers aren't completely destroyed. And it's not like just a dent here or there where paintless dent removal would be great. They're all really bad. It's going to be a total loss. This happened at work. And of course, as luck would have it, we just moved to our new office building May 3rd. Prior to that, we were in a covered parking garage...
Step 1. Car
Step 2. Hail
Step 3. Rallycross!
Ouch. Sorry to hear about that. I saw some videos on my Facebook feed of cars with windows completely shattered and accumulation on the ground like it had been snowing...in May.

You're in Georgia, so a lease on a new Leaf should be free for two years with that massive tax credit you get. You should peruse the list of massive-tax-credit-in-Ga vehicles and pick one on that list for you that has a tiny bit more range than the Leaf does.
I'm not in GA yet, I move there in 6 weeks. Still in PA for now. More than likely I won't replace it until we move, since GA does have those EV friendly rebates. I don't know a ton about them yet, but plan to start researching it this weekend.
Not the leaf!! Dang, that stinks.

Buy it back, replace the windshield, enjoy your increased range thanks to the new speed dimples!
