I would assume way more than that...

No, it sold for $12,000k. Which is pretty cheap but I'd rather pay a little more and get a Model S and actually be able to sell the parts.Did you end up winning the auction?
The car that hit me was disabled as part of the accident and he pulled over and was arrested at the scene. The BMW he was racing has not been found. I'm guessing it's probably not worth the trouble for the police. It's unclear if he would be considered as participant of the accident anyways, since he didn't actually crash into anyone, so he would only be charged with street racing/reckless driving at worst.

Bummer. Hate to say, but won't be cheap.
Here's some vids/write-ups on M3's at the body shop:

@krouebi ,
Just saw this and yes, they decided that was enough to total it. Still waiting for the new car...
Was cruising along the i-90 tunnel in Seattle, WA on mercer island with my wife and 2 kids, when I hear some vehicles approach at high speed from behind. Then suddenly I hear a screeching sound from a car breaking hard, and then a car slams into my rear end - hard. I was going 65, so that vehicle must have been going significantly faster. From there I lose control of the car, and the car spins out of control, hitting the freeway divider wall all the way on the other side of the freeway 4 lanes across, and then bouncing back all the way back to the other side of the freeway and hitting that wall before coming to a stop.
Thankfully the model 3 performed miraculously, crumple zones compressed, airbags deployed, no fire after the accident, and no one in my family seems to be seriously injured.
Still processing what just happened and getting all the facts from the police (there may be a criminal case against the person who hit me), but any tips and things to watch out for as I go through the insurance process?

Wow, lucky to walk away from that.
If the scumbag that hit you cares about insurance as much as he cares about others on the road, wouldn't be surprised at all if they had no insurance either. Hopefully OP has uninsured/underinsured coverage. And hopefully there are some eyewitnesses that can tell police the scumbag was driving at a reckless speed so they can throw the book at them.
