Salvaged Model 3 auction

[Az_Rael]

Totaled at 54 miles? WOW!

Yeah, that would have been on the way home for me. Wonder if AP had even calibrated and turned on at 54 miles?

 

[S'toon]

Cue that Keef Wyvanef nutjob making another sockpuppet account and claiming those accidents were caused by loose wheels in 3...2...1...

 

[Az_Rael]

More salvage 3's. The 2nd one looks like it was a Turo rental based on the insurance listed. At this rate we will have a vibrant junkyard parts market going soon.

I would like to know in each of these incidents who was at fault... because it is terrible to total your own new car, and even worse when some other person totals it! Those are the people who should be given a jump in line.

Too bad about that black one above.. it looks like it had some work put into it too (chrome delete and painted/powder coated wheels from what I can see)

Anyone have data on current salvage values for Model 3?

Maybe I’m missing something or there is underlying damage but this one doesn’t look bad comparatively.

I wonder how the safety ratings are holding up now compared to MS

Rear wheel looks off center so probably suspension damage along with both passenger side doors, quarter panel, and bumper. So yes, better than some but still a good amount of work.

I've heard of no fires or deaths yet which is encouraging.

I have the repair estimate by body shop = $16k. Insurance estimate = $8k. No damage whatsoever to the doors. Definitely tire, wheel and suspension damage. Some damage to the frame/structure as well but I wouldn't say much.

Here's something depressing: My car was totaled before it was ever washed. It had (has) lifetime ceramic coating.

 

[JRP3]

No damage whatsoever to the doors.

I guess what looks like a crease/scratch down the side was just a reflection.

 

[derkan]

Yes definitely just a reflection, due to how shiny the car is.

Auction just ended, sold for $37,250

Wow, that seems high for a Salvage titled vehicle with obvious rear suspension damage.

 

[bigroccrek]

Wow! After looking at all of these Model 3s why was mine not considered a total loss????

 

[JRP3]

I'd agree but ask your insurance company for the answer since they make the determination. What was the repair bill?
