Why? As the owner of truck And insurance company he can write any estimate he likes. lol. How often do people have that much input. As a company test mule he’s likely Grateful as it was a write off in manufacturing. Now it’s a full margin asset.
As expected, CT drivers really bought into the “sports car” propaganda.

I don't know about written off, but 3-6 months in a commercial body shop awaiting Tesla parts would not be unexpected. The entire driver-side and driver-front corner will need body work.
On the other hand, being a factory prototype, it may never see the inside of a body shop. It will either get shipped back to the factory and cannibalized for parts, or disassembled for post-crash damage assessment.

Sure, it was the other drivers fault. You are exactly right. Sometimes it's not worth it to discuss the truth.
There is some kind of science to this new type of FUD you are responding to. I've been trying to define it. It's something like - If I say it, then people will just have to believe it.
Initially I thought it was called The illusory truth effect. However, its more than that.

See, it's not just FUD, which is malicious. It's also misinformation that is not necessarily malicious. I understand your post #68 question. This is social science, of which I know nothing. Even more convoluted when AI is added to the mix.

This. I do wonder what the repair costs would be though. Usually, when side curtain bags deploy, it’s a total loss.
I am more interested in the process of how, which Tesla collision center can actually repair it, and what it looks like after the repair. The other insurance company has to pay not only the cost of the repairs, but likely a very long rental car days if the owner/Tesla or whoever decide to repair it.

As far as injuries, if you've ever been in a collision where the airbags went off and the seatbelt tightened across your chest, you'd know exactly what the guy was felling. Having had that happen to me, I do. I t-boned a guy that ran a stop sign. I was sore for about a week, my face and my shoulder/upper chest.
