Greetings,
We're dealing with a 2018 Tesla Model X 100D, equipped with Full Self-Driving (FSD). The scenario unfolded as my sister drove home with the FSD feature on, and suddenly found a fallen lamppost obstructing our local exit. Unfortunately, she didn't respond in time, due to the challenging visibility and her reliance on the FSD. Consequently, the vehicle failed to detect the obstacle and ended up running over the pole. Visually, it seemed like two tires were punctured. Ultimately, the insurance company declared it a total loss due to potential damage to the battery. I suggested that she should get in touch with Tesla regarding this incident. The offer she received for the car was less than half of the original price, despite the vehicle having lifetime supercharging and FSD features.
Is there any advice you could give in this situation?
She has been car-less for the past six months.
I've been told that posting on the forums might be helpful.
Best,
Loay
