Friday marked 4 weeks. Gut wrenching just waiting and being pissed at incompetent people.
Car was hit by a full size truck, and deemed most likely totaled. (Other driver's fault, they have state minimum insurance).
Towed to holding lot. (1)
Towed to total loss loss.(2)
Incompetent appraisal company says it might be repairable, with $10k in damage.
Towed to certified shop (3).
Tesla certified shop tears down car. Laughs at estimate that lists $48/hr labor.
Insurance company asks certified shop to do their own estimate.
Estimate to repair exceeds $25k, with written recommendation the car be a total loss due to structural damage.
Insurance hires incompetent (pattern?) adjuster who claims to be unable to locate car.
THIS SAME THING. Verbatim happened last time with this company.
We believe they are going to the service center, and not the body shop. I'm livid. Wife is livid.
We do not feel safe in this car, and it must be removed from public roads. Repairs will exceed 3, possibly 4 months.
Why is this process so hard? Why is everyone an idiot? Why isn't the minimum property damage for insurance higher?
Ohh, and she was hurt bad enough that 4 weeks later, still in pain, and starting physical therapy.
