I was sitting stopped waiting to turn when I got rear ended by a SUV traveling ~40 mph today. They were distracted and never even touched the brakes. TeslaCam caught it all.
Bumper, trunk lid, etc. are destroyed. Rear 1/4 panels appear to be ok to my unskilled eye, but the charge port won't open anymore. The car is still driveable. I am not sure if there is any structural damage and the insurance adjuster can't even look at the car for another week, so I don't know how much more damage may be hidden.
I am ready for an uphill battle with the insurance company regarding diminished value claims. Has anyone here had to make a diminished value claim yet? I searched here and found a similar post but it had no answers.
Finding comparable used cars with clean titles is easy. I haven't been able to find prices for non-salvaged Model 3 Long Range cars with an accident on their record.
