Accident and Repairs
- Thread starter BLKMDL3

Exactly. The OP describes an accident. Happy that no one was hurt and the damage is certainly repairable. Insurance will handle it. Life goes on...
No way that is a 40 mph vs stopped vehicle result.
damn that sucks, bro. especially since it's both ends that need repair. My car was rear ended at <10 mph and ended up being $45k in damage and in the shop for 7 months. i truly truly from the bottom of my heart hope yours is repaired super fast, or even better, totaled. II would push for total. Even though it doesn't "look" bad, the repairs may very well come out to be enough in cost to total. best of luck man, glad you're ok (physically at least).
Thanks so much. That car saved my life. Hoping for total an claim for accelerated depreciation
It is. She was speeding and she claimed at first her brakes were out then said her shoe got stuck. Result of distracted driving. I rammed a suburban in front of me.

Yep, so upset, it is just a car though. On a side note, do you live near Esterel in Quebec? I have a house there.
This is not the way the law in the USA works. They owe you a functional car that gets you from point A to B. You can argue that if you need 7 seats, it needs to hold 7. They do not owe you luxury or other things. Loss of use is only recoverable if the asset was directly used to make money.
There is no way you will get them to pay $2,000+ a week for a rental Model X.
It is about $800 per week. I just don't want to have a rental gas guzzler like an expedition or tahoe like we usually get.
Unless you drive about 3,000 miles a week, the Tesla costs more than a $100 a week SUV plus gas. You can try and argue with the insurance company that they owe you some amount of money per mile for gas. They'll likely tell you that you were previously paying about 50 cents a mile in depreciation for driving a Tesla, plus the electricity cost, and the cost of an SUV's fuel is actually lower than that.
Fight the bigger fight of getting your Tesla repaired completely and right, not stuff like this.
Agree with the logic, but still prefer the aviation lingo of calling it a "mishap," since at that point, it really doesn't matter whether it was intentional, negligent, accidental, etc.
