Keep in mind we're in the "recording phase" of the internet era. Everything seems more frequent, less frequent, "world first", etc. until it's properly vetted.wow, at least 2 people died in that collision. It seems like there are a lot more high speed red light runnings lately. I've seen several in just the last few months and very few in 20+ years prior to that.

And as we've mentioned a few times already: plan for both the inevitable and the undesirable. Someday you are going to die... so make sure you have a will, estate planning, and everything else necessary to ensure that you are the one making the choices about what happens after you die to your family and your stuff.

Not fun, but also not too tough, and definitely one of the best investments of time and resources that anyone can make. I won't bother you with the horror stories, but rest assured they do exist.

What I am referring to is my own experience on the roads - been driving about 40 years. It's only in the last few years that I've seen a number of near collisions due to running red lights at high speed. There have always been the people that run red lights as they are changing. But, it's the situations where people just don't see the red that seem to be more frequent. As such, I have gotten a lot more cautious about pulling out after the light has turned green, especially left turns which seem to be the worst.
It could be the distractions that electronic devices are bringing in... but I'm going to suggest also that it may be related to local municipalities shortening yellow cycles to the bare minimum to maximize red-light camera revenue, and the trend is simply expanding even to those non-red-light cameras.

Someone posted on a different thread about almost being scammed by a towing company claiming to be sent by Tesla. Be careful if a towing company shows up really quickly. And don't let anyone hook up your car before you verify that they are legitimate.
I've heard from the dealer and an engineer from Tesla that my car is going to be declared a "Total Loss". Still waiting for confirmation from the insurance company--Update: Spoke with the inspector and it's a Total. Apparently the thing that tipped the scales is that the tow truck driver did some damage to the battery with improper towing methods from the rear. It's a REALLY expensive part!
I have mixed feelings about this. I'm glad that I won't have to drive a car that had it's crush zone rebuilt but I'm saddened by the loss of my low VIN car that I had put so many hours washing and polishing. I'm working with Tesla sales to get back into a Model S ASAP. I can get an 85 Performance right now in the color and options I want or I can wait for a new build if I want my exact model in 60kWh.
Very sorry to hear. But perhaps this is a blessing in the long run. Interesting that the towing caused more damage. Was the towing service provided by Tesla?
