Hi folks,
2020 Model Y about 8000 miles. Driving up to NH last night and a deer came across 6 lanes of traffic and ran right into us. We we’re going about 75. We were heading northbound and the deer came from the south bound side across 3 lanes, the median, 2 more lanes then just rammed right into us.
Driver side panel and front end took most of the damage. It looks pretty extensive but the car was “drivable” in the sense it pulled over, but once stopped it went into lockdown mode and I couldn’t put it into gear. Both driver side doors are also dinged up. On the inside the side curtain airbags also went off.
The nearest shop here is 50 miles so tomorrow we need to have it towed there for an estimate which is sort of a logistical nightmare but we’ll deal. I know it’s ultimately up to insurance but I have a feeling this is probably totaled? Thoughts?
All and all it was pretty amazing that we walked away without a scratch. The car even pulled itself over to the side of the road as I was too shell shocked to do it myself. If totaled we’ll be right back in line for another one.
