Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?

Careful on selling it if it’s very new. Tesla may flag you as a reseller and cancel your new order. Unless you trade it in to Tesla.

I think it's likely to fall short of the actual numbers by a few thousand dollars,

You can add for sure that when the body shop will try to remove the glass roof,
it will break and will have to be replaced. So here we are with your few thousand dollars...

Just got word yesterday - the car will be a total loss. But, only because they found some damage to the battery when they opened it up (a second time). It had a scratch/gauge on it that likely happened after the accident, either while it was being towed from the accident scene, or while it was being looked at in the initial appraisal process by my insurance company (prior to it going to the Tesla certified shop). If they hadn't found that damage, I think they would have decided it was repairable. So, for those in the future who may be looking at the thread to get a sense for what constitutes a total loss for a brand new MY. . . . it takes a heck of a lot of damage to reach that threshhold.

Congrats much better outcome. I would say that I learned to scratch/dent the battery case if it’s close. JK
