Well. Here's my plan if mine gets wrecked. I've read here and TM that it can take easily 6 months or more before a well-wrecked Tesla is fixed. Talk to my insurance company - an the other insurance company.. Either my insurance or the other will be paying for a rental. I am sure they know it takes a while - months to get a Tesla fixed. Do they want to pay for months of rental car for me? I will try to get them to give me a lump sum settlement for just the rental car part separate from the accident. If I can, I can use it for a down payment on a used Tesla to drive while mine is in the shop.
If they total mine, then I can use the used on and trade it in. While mine is wrecked and in the stop, I am pausing insurance on the wrecked one. Sure don't need it sitting in the shop.
Then, find a used one maybe cheap one. Maybe at an auction. Maybe buy a used Tesla trade-in from Tesla before they sell it to the auction. Find one, and buy it with as little down as I can, maybe the cheapest I can find, or maybe one like I have before it was wrecked. Be flexible. Drive it and make payments until mine is fixed. In the mean time, work on making the used one better looking and nicer looking than it was when I bought it. Clean it. I am going to try to sell it months from now for at least what I bought it for. And when I get mine back, if its not good, I am going to sell or trade it to get back where I was before. Not going to try and cheat anyone, but put my energies into still driving a Tesla while I wait on repairs.
Once I am back in a Tesla, I can let my insurance company and/or the other insurance company figure it out, fight it out, but I am now in a better position versus at their mercy to give me what they want to give me because I am no longer in a rush to settle so I can find another car.
Was in Delaware on the highway, and came to a traffic slowdown (from emergency workers cleaning up a fatal accident), middle lane with everyone else - when some idiot in the fast lane who was going too fast, couldn't stop and slammed into my rear driver's side quarter panel. Guy with no license was driving his girlfriends car. She allegedly has insurance.
I'm so glad we weren't hurt badly.
But my M3. Had it for 1.5yrs I'd say.
I loved that car... So bummed I'll be spending this miserable summer without my electric car.
What do you guys think? Repairable? Totalled?
Also.. it was an early model - full data for free. Ugh.

Just got our car back from having the rear quarter panel replaced with associated work. Mine was about a $10K job.
The biggest expenses relate to paintwork. Really, that's where most of the cost was.
While this car has more severe damage, the damaged area is very similar, so I'm taking my invoice and adding for some extra stuff.
BTW: Ours is also blue,but you can probably figure that from my avatar name.
I bet yours didn't have the rear wheel shoved forward...
Stick to your day job.
What about a white interior?
That’s why you have uninsured motorist...[/QUOTE
And uim and um comp/collision with limits similar to your liability coverage.

Still no verdict, but cleaned out the car today and got the flash drive..
"Let's go to the tape."
No verdict on if it's "totaled"..No verdict even with clear video evidence like these? I want some of that stuff they are smoking.
Also, jesus... that guy has no chill, weaving around traffic at much higher speeds than everyone else.
So either buddy was trying to retrieve the Whopper he dropped onto the passenger side floor;Still no verdict, but cleaned out the car today and got the flash drive..

To another post, it was an AWD
Rental coverage limits aren't applicable here, because the OP wasn't at fault. It's the other car owner's insurance that has to cover these costs as part of the claim against their insured.
I am assuming no air bags went off. That would increase the expense significantly. I’m guessing the insurance company will cut their losses.
Depending on the situation, it’s actually not “as big” an expense as it appears. When a deer decided to jump in front of my wife’s Enclave in Oct, it set off the driver’s airbag. Replacing the airbag, controller & seatbelts only worked out to maybe $2500. The other $18k+ in damage was all in the front end.
Airbag deployments don’t always mean a gigantic expense - in our case it was dwarfed by the rest of the work. Which I wish were higher so we could’ve totaled out.
If it sets off something near the full suite, which can happen when the collision sends the vehicle in a spin rotation, it can really add up. An extra $4-5K makes it more likely the tipping point is reached.Hate to be the guy that quotes himself, but I just pulled up the final repair invoice; it was $2,566.05 for airbag replacement, seatbelt replacements (driver & passenger) & diag unit replacement.
