Yep, I've been with SF about as long... We had a deer strike in January with our CUV and their initial estimate was $1,900 for which they automaticaly sent me a check. It wound up costing a little over $12K... It was explained to me that part of the rationale for doing so is that some people will just take the initial check sent to them by SF and decide not to fix the vehicle for whatever reason.I have used State Farm for almost 40 years and am (obviously) happy with them. Their estimates for auto claims are consistently low, but in my experience they're always quick and painless to adjust upwards once the real numbers come in.
I agree that there are a lot of Model 3's being rear ended, but my situation definitely wasn't due to dim/malfunctioning brake lights.I am seeing an inordinate amount of rear ended Model 3's, are the brake lights not bright enough or malfunctioning or something??
I did not mention it here, but they are Aodhan AFF7's (19x9.5 +35 offset) with 265/35/19 Indy 500 tires.Not sure if you mentioned it somewhere, but I'm curious what wheels you're running?
Way less than totaling the car. Hope it runs well and years of enjoyment.The total was $16,577
Definitely, it looked worse to me when the accident first happened. Thank you, here's to many more accident free miles! *knocks on wood*Way less than totaling the car. Hope it runs well and years of enjoyment.
Wow, that goes a long towards explaining the above-market costs to insure Model 3's.The total was $16,577
In my area, the locals seem to think that tailgating a Tesla is a political statement.I am seeing an inordinate amount of rear ended Model 3's, are the brake lights not bright enough or malfunctioning or something??
Yes, except that it makes no difference if the other driver doesn't have enough assets to go after. It's situations like this why we have coverage for "uninsured and underinsured" motorists. It's cheap and if you have to use it (because someone else is at fault) then it doesn't increase your premiums. Some insurance policies include it and with some it is an option.The driver is personally responsible for all your damage, independantly of whether he/she is insured or not.

Unfortunately, that legal claim doesn't add up to a hill of beans if the driver has no assets you could easily and inexpensively encumber.The driver is personally responsible for all your damage, independantly of whether he/she is insured or not.

[...] I am really dreading the time between sending the demand letter to the woman that hit me and the small claims court date.
For that very reason - do you have any reason to believe that you will be able to collect on any award from the small claims court?
If not, why bother?
LOL. There's no way it'll be that low. Not your concern though, it's coming out of their pocket! Good luck with the repair.UPDATE: State Farm thinks that it will cost $6k to fix, I will update again with what the collision center estimate is tomorrow.
