Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
Just got word yesterday - the car will be a total loss. But, only because they found some damage to the battery when they opened it up (a second time). It had a scratch/gauge on it that likely happened after the accident, either while it was being towed from the accident scene, or while it was... -

Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
My insurance will pay for this, and I'm sure it will then file a subrogation claim against the other driver's insurance company to recoup its costs. My adjuster is very clear that I want it totaled - and it's going to be close. But it's a formula, and he can't make the call himself - it's... -

Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
A partial update. They did the teardown, and actually didn't find all that much more damage, so the cost of repair is around $29,000. (I do suspect this figure will creep up some when/if they actually do the repair, but the insurance company is going with $29k for its calculations... -

Ugh, sorry you had such a long wait. Glad it's in good condition since you waited so long! -

Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
Yes, at this point, I'm really hoping it will be totaled. When I thought it was a relatively minor repair, even if it took longer than the estimated five weeks (which I was assuming it would), I was happy to wait out the repair. But now that it's looking like a much more long and drawn out... -

Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
Yeah I was surprised by that initial estimate, but I naively assumed that maybe the damage wasn't as bad as it looked. This more recent assessment from the Tesla repair shop is more in line with what I was expecting. -

Thanks. Yeah they caught the guy, and yeah he was insured. So, eventually, if it's not totalled, I'll be able to file a dimished value claim with his insurance company. -

Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
I know. I'm just trying to manage my own expectations by seeing if anyone who knows more than me can guess the level of damage to this car and assess whether my hope that it will be a total loss is reasonable. -

Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?
I know I just have to go through the insurance process on this, but still hoping to get some feedback as I don't have any idea what to look for to determine how damaged my car is, and I'm on pins and needles waiting on the process to play out. It's a 2022 long range Y, just had it since... -

Is my car gonna be considered a total loss
What happened? I have similar damage to my Model Y and am in the process of trying to figure out cost of repair for my car.
