    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    UPDATE: Car has been deemed a total loss, which we are very happy about. The payout is going to be roughly $68k not including the aftermarket wheels and tires, which I just provided invoices for to them. I should have the updated payout today. We weren't going to feel comfortable driving that...

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    On Tesla's site there are 4 shops approved, but only in Oahu so car will have to be transported somehow on a boat with in completely immobile. That won't be very cheap without damaging it further.

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    Wow, 2 months, that's a long time for half the damage. Not sure how long ago that was, but would imagine it could be longer now due to every place being so backed up with work. I'm sorry you had to wait 2 months, but thankfully you had a car rental on their dime. I emailed one of the guys...

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    That’s what we want and I expressed to the appraiser the things they may not have taken into account. Not sure what way they are leaning but hope it’s total.

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    It’s about $600 each way to Oahu for a running vehicle. Not sure about one that doesn’t run at all. Imagine at least double. We are hoping it gets totaled. I have seen some say they will pursue a Diminished Value claim, but I’m uncertain if you can file those in Hawaii.

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    Oh really? Damn I should check. Mine is at a copart yard now. Don’t they take the salvage value and use that combined with the current undamaged pre accident value to determine whether it’s a total loss or not?

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    Thank you for your feedback. The car that hit was a Mazda CX3 and did seem to kind of dig under. That car is totaled for sure. I just fee with the electrical that was damaged to cause the vehicle to fail and be inoperable, on top of the numerous errors and alerts on the screen, it’s gotta be...

    Model Y Rear Ended. Thoughts on total loss?

    Aloha, my wife and daughter were rear ended in our Model Y last week. Thankfully they are ok and only have some minor bruises and neck pain. As she approached a red light, a driver behind her was apparently reaching for his phone that fell on the floor. I believe he was probably going...
