    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    This does not even compare to other things i've dealt with before, I am just glad no one got hurt. Yes, I can try to go after the other driver but they are just some dumb teenagers, given that they were driving an old beat up car without insurance and honestly came off as underprivileged...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    With my UMPD coverage I wont be paying any deductibles or out of pocket. Also the other driver did not provide their ID, by the time I got out from my car during the accident, all the people (teenagers) on the other car had already gotten out and I was given an ID (not drivers license) of one of...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    I waited a few days to get all the info, here are my updates: Monday Feb 20: I called Tesla Collision Center in Aliso Viejo, they confirmed they could take the car in that day and it would take 5 business days to do the inspection I had the initial conversation with the adjuster, provided...

    Update - Just called the 844-34-TESLA insurance number, i already have an adjuster assigned but its a holiday today so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to talk to them. Also, I took a look at their list of approved collision centers (Collision Support | Tesla) and the closes official Tesla one...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    Yeah, i was lucky that the security guard of the building nearby came to help diffuse the situation allowing me to break away and wait in the car until the tow truck arrived. Even though there are laws in place, it does not mean everyone cares to follow them.

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    I was going about 35-40 mph on the second from the right lane, they were pulling out of a drive way maybe 10-15 mph turning left. The right lane (closes to the driveway) was blocked with traffic so they probably did not have any visibility into my lane which was completely free. I had about 1...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    Los Angeles cops dont show up unless someone is hurt. I even tried to waive down a passing police but they did not stop. I called it in but they said to file the report online. Their side (group of 6, ages 15-20) were aggressive, unfortunately it just didnt feel safe and not worth risking trying...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    I did file a police report but it was online, I called but Los Angeles police do not show up unless someone is injured. They literally tell you they cant come and ask you to fill it out online. From my experience, if anything happens in LA County that does not include bodily injury, they will...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    Thanks for your input, it helps. Also I wonder now that Tesla dropped the value of their cars, I wonder if it'll affect how the insurance adjusters do their market comparisons for value of the car.

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    Thanks for the comparison. Did you go to a Tesla Collision Center? I'm wondering if going to them directly would be any better.

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    According to the one of the passengers in the other car, it belonged to their mom. But even though the mom showed up, she did not provide insurance, all I got was an ID card from the passenger. The situation was not the friendliest, so I wasn't able to get all their info, just the license plates...

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    It has 12.7k miles on it and I didn't take close up pictures of the damage just from far away. And yes, thank you for the advice, I will be looking into a diminished claim of it's not a total loss. My concern is that the frame might be damaged from this other picture I'm attaching.

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    I have insurance through Tesla, so I have to wait until Monday or maybe Tuesday since Monday is a holiday to get the process started 🙁

    Is it totaled 22 MYP? Passenger front tire/fender collision

    Driving in Downtown LA sucks, underage and unlicensed driver hit me at night when she was pulling out from an entrance only driveway. Fortunately no one was injured. No airbags deployed. Moved the car to the median and heard cracking noises but the car did drive onto the flatbed tow truck...
