Wrecked Model 3 Headed to Salvage Auction

You have to feel for this Tesla Model 3 owner who put just 490 miles on the car before crashing it into a light pole in Redondo Beach, Calif.

Pictures of the wrecked vehicle, VIN #1492, were posted to the Insurance Auto Auctions website this week, offering a look at how the Model 3 handles a front-end collision.

The car will be offered to bidders in a salvage auction and it will be interesting to see how much money it brings considering it’s not a likely candidate for repair. The car will be the first Model 3 to appear in a salvage auction. An auction date has not yet been assigned.
