Thanks for the info on elons tweet and eap, I am waiting on my insurance offer which i hope will be atleast 70k, i should have an offer this week i will keep you guys updated on what you think.
Good point but in MY opinion just like doctors all lawyers aren't the same. I want the best I can get. And at least in NY you get what you pay for.on a (somewhat) related note. Learned last year that personal injury lawyers' 33 and 1/3 % fee, is negotiable. There is no rule (at least not in VA) that mandatesa specific fee. On a slam dunk case (like if you are rear ended by an insured driver), by far, the cases never get to court. Gets settled. And takes minimal amount of the actual lawyers time who reps you. Its typically all handled by the paralegals in the office, and the lawyer just signs off.
If you shop around a bit, you can get as low as 20% fee for the lawyer...
Recently involved in a car accident that led to my 18 S to be deemed total, happened just a few days ago so i dont have the settlement value yet, according to kbb 2018 Model S go for around 60-70k. It had less than 25,000 miles.
I need help as the value is completely screwed up, I paid roughly 112k plus sales tax for the 100D back in 2018, i know i can get a similair 2020 S long range for about 85k now including fsd.
So I put about 50k down, so we finaced around 67k to the bank, we still owe 42k. So if the settlement is around 60-70k im down so much money as we will only get 18-28k back in cash after my insurance pays the bank.
This accident was deemed the other parties fault by the police, my insurance, and his own insurance.
So what i am asking is, is there anyway to recover the 40k or so extra that was lost during the 2 and a half years of owning my 100D?
Im hoping if the insurance offerse a low offer, i can argue that i had EAP which is 5k, premium interior which cost 5k back then, 3500 for the black interior color of inside, 1500 for midnight silver metallic, and free unlimited supercharging, which i hope can get more money so i won't have lost 40k of driving the car for two years.
I know that i can get a new 2020 S long range for 85k now compared to 112k when i bought but i feel this is insane how i lost so much money due to my car being totaled.
EDIT: is it possible to get back the sales tax i paid for the vehicle? in my state for 112k car it was around 6-7k of taxes alone.
yep/understood. And for a major case? I agree.Good point but in MY opinion just like doctors all lawyers aren't the same. I want the best I can get. And at least in NY you get what you pay for.
Should i call the at fault drivers insurance and get a settlement for my bruises and soreness? what is the average payout for that. I have pictures of my bruises when the airbag exploded because i was trying to honk right before this happened.yep/understood. And for a major case? I agree.
But for whats classified as "soft tissue" (Bruise, soreness, no broken bones, no major injuries) cases, the ranges of a payout are already pre-defined in most cases, and generally speaking, its a formula that's used to determine the settlement #. Again for a case like I described where its a slam dunk rear end case? THe lawyer does minimal work. So the quality of the lawyer his/herself, is not a major relevant factor.
You'll end up with the same overall total gross amount (before lawyer %) whether the P.I. lawyer is a 10, or a 8

airbag deployed and you have photos? I'd suggest at least contacting a personal injury attorney for a free consultation. It's my understanding that there are two scales of payouts that most insurance co's have: one for self represented persons and another for when lawyers are involved. The latter is the higher.
Either way, lawyer may recommend physical therapy or some form of medical treatment. Sometimes pain/soreness may not manifest itself immediately. May come day or days later.
No easy answer to your question. Depends on various factors, sometimes from state to state. But a ballpark for a payout in your hand (after doctor bills are paid, therapists are paid, lawyers get their cut, etc in an accident where the car is totaled and lawyers are repping you? I'd say anywhere from $8k in your pocket up to high teens.
Trucks depreciate very differently compared to sedans.Maybe it will be more, maybe not. I just sold my F-150 Platinum after holding it 34 months and only lost $3.1k. I was in the car biz a long time and generally know how to make that happen. If not, I’ll either decide to take a bigger hit or keep the car. The title is in the nightstand...doesn’t cost me anything.
I’ve had 34 (I think) vehicles. 2 trucks. 32 cars. Always done fine.Trucks depreciate very differently compared to sedans.
Here is a image of the crash, now as far as medical treatment goes, i would rather not visit any doctor or therpaist atm since covid is around unless ofcourse i abosultly need it.
As far as injuries go like i said i sustained bruises and soreness in my right arm as i honked the horn before impact and the airbags blew which is when i sustained the injuries.
I might contact a personal injury lawyer and see what they have to say, but i rather not go see any doctor unless i have to.
I know pain and suffering payout is bills x 3, but keep in mind i havent seen any doctors so i have no idea of what a injury lawyer can do in terms of payout
Just talked to my insurance, apparently now they want to fix the car, so i told them my perferred tesla approved body center and we should have an estimate soon for repairs. Now my alabama state law is 75% threshhold for total, so If i value my car at about 75k, and then the repair costs should be below 50k, i wonder how much Diminishing value i can get from this then, because the value is ****ed i imagine after repairs, i think DV is 1/3 of repair costs if anyone has thoughts, inputs, etc.
Also getting a rental car was aids af, I personally didnt buy rental insurance for my policy, but the other 3rd party who is at fault offered to reimburse me, but since im 20 i cant rent from enterprise, their min age is 21. The only way to bypass this is if allstate makes a reservation for me then age dosen't matter, but they said they only do this for their insured, and if i need a car during my repair process than it would be out of my own pocket, then reimburse car fees.
I was able to bypass this by renting a car thru Hertz, who min age is 20, and currently they are waiving their fees for under 25 age drivers due to covid so i got a rate of $30 a day for a economy size rental thankfully.
So i just reviewed my online account, they posted their own estimate there, im sure the price will increase as they open up the front of the car, current estimate is 10k. ill post some pics of the repair parts and estimate total, i really hope the car can be restored to same pristine condintion as post crash, i did not see any mention of wheels / tires even though the front right wheel / tire is ****ed.If an estimate was never generated in the first place, how did they make the judgment to total?
Keep all receipts from Hertz, and do not be surprised when Allstate declines to reimburse those rental fees for some reason.
I don't know your locale, but I went through a similar process in TX and documented the painful resistance of insurance.
